The cooling tower market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.35 billion in 2023 to $3.49 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. Historic period can be attributed to power generation expansion, air conditioning adoption, chemical process industries, water conservation, urbanization and infrastructure, globalization of industries.
The cooling tower market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to upgradation of aging infrastructure, stringent energy efficiency standards, data center expansion, economic development, chemical industry evolution, focus on water treatment. Major trends in the forecast period include hybrid cooling systems, smart controls and automation, fiberglass reinforced plastic (frp) towers, customization for specific industrial, dry cooling systems for water-scarce regions, low-noise cooling tower designs.
The escalating demand for cooling towers in emerging markets is anticipated to propel the growth of the cooling tower industry. These towers play a crucial role in eliminating heat from various sectors such as nuclear and thermal power plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, food processing units, and HVACR systems. The surge in commercial construction, upscale real estate projects, and the implementation of energy-efficient policies have significantly contributed to the increased adoption of cooling towers in these burgeoning regions. As evidenced by the World Nuclear Association's February 2022 report, the Asian market boasts approximately 135–140 operational nuclear power reactors, with 35 reactors under construction and an additional 50–60 in the proposal phase. These ongoing development initiatives within emerging regions are poised to drive heightened demand for cooling towers in the foreseeable future.
The increasing need for electricity is poised to drive the expansion of the cooling tower market. Electricity, generated by the movement or accumulation of charged particles such as electrons or protons, requires efficient dissipation of excess heat. Cooling towers play a pivotal role in this process by facilitating heat release through methods such as evaporation or convection. For instance, in 2023, as reported by the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, global electricity generation reached 7.7 TWh, reflecting a significant annual surge of 14.8%. Consequently, the escalating demand for electricity is expected to be a key driver propelling the growth trajectory of the cooling tower market.
The adoption of environmentally sustainable products stands out as a significant trend within the cooling tower market. These eco-friendly alternatives utilize water for heat transfer instead of air, offering a substantially higher efficiency rate - approximately 3,200 times more effective - while remaining environmentally conscious. For instance, in November 2023, Metso, a Finland-based company specializing in technology and services, introduced an upgraded Evaporative Cooling Tower. This innovative solution serves as an efficient dry gas cleaning system, specifically designed to cool high-temperature furnace off-gases via evaporation. The enhanced Metso Evaporative Cooling Tower boasts a distinctive design that ensures optimal and uniform cooling. Moreover, its advanced model-based automatic control system allows precise cooling regulation during startup and varying process conditions, further enhancing its efficiency and functionality.
Key players within the cooling tower market are actively pursuing strategic alliances to fortify their market positions. Strategic partnerships in the business realm involve collaborative endeavors between two or more entities, typically businesses, pooling resources to achieve mutual success. For instance, in November 2023, Hydroleap, a Singapore-based water treatment startup specializing in water technology, forged a significant partnership with IX Technology (IXT), also based in Singapore and renowned for providing top-notch mechanical and electrical (M&E) infrastructure solutions for data centers. This alliance holds the promise of revolutionizing water management practices within cooling towers, offering the data center industry opportunities to reduce water and chemical usage, lower their carbon footprint, and bolster compliance with regulatory standards.
