Industrial Burner Market Report 2025

The industrial burner market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.38 billion in 2024 to $6.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial expansion, energy sector demand, stringent emission regulations, shift towards energy-efficient solutions, expansion in petrochemical and refining industries.

The industrial burner market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.14 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to safety and reliability considerations, global environmental concerns, demand from food processing and manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include market demand for retrofitting and upgradation, focus on energy efficiency, adoption of low-emission burners, shift towards alternative fuels, industry 4 and automation integration.

The anticipated increase in power generation is expected to propel the industrial burner market in the coming years. The demand for industrial burners is largely driven by the rising need for electricity and the installation of large-scale power plants that utilize these burners in boilers. For example, according to a report by World Energy & Climate Statistics, which provides updated data by region, electricity consumption saw significant increases in 2022 across the BRICS nations. Specifically, China experienced a rise of 9.7%, India 4.8%, Russia 6.4%, and Brazil 9.5%. Collectively, these countries contributed to an overall growth in global power generation of 8.5% in 2021, which was 10% higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2019. In China, most of the surge in power generation was attributed to coal, wind, and solar energy. Thus, the projected growth in power generation is likely to stimulate the industrial burner market during the forecast period.

The growing demand for oil is anticipated to drive the expansion of the industrial burner market in the coming years. Oil, a viscous liquid utilized as both fuel and lubricant for machinery, plays a critical role in various industrial processes. The rising demand for oil stimulates activity in oil refining, processing, and extraction, resulting in increased reliance on industrial burners for essential operations. Key sectors such as petrochemicals, refineries, and the energy industry depend heavily on industrial burners for heating, distillation, and power generation applications. For instance, a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, projects that global oil demand will reach 105.7 million barrels per day (mb/d) by 2028, reflecting a cumulative increase of 6% since 2022. Consequently, the rising demand for oil is fueling the growth of the industrial burner market.

Major companies in the industrial burner market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as combustion systems, to improve energy efficiency and minimize emissions. Combustion systems are integrated setups that facilitate the controlled burning of fuel to produce energy, mainly in the form of heat or power. These systems comprise components like burners and combustion chambers, which are specifically designed to optimize fuel efficiency and lower emissions. For example, in October 2023, Metso, a Finland-based machinery corporation, introduced the first hydrogen low-NOx burner for traveling grate pelletizing plants, utilizing hydrogen as a carbon-free fuel to significantly lessen environmental impact. This system achieves up to 80% reduction in NOx emissions, aiding companies in adhering to stringent regulatory standards. Furthermore, it enhances product quality by improving temperature uniformity throughout the pelletizing process.

Major companies in the industrial burner market are developing innovative products, specifically eco-friendly burners, to gain a competitive edge. Eco-friendly burners are designed to minimize environmental impact by reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency. For instance, in August 2023, Fives S.A.S.'s launch of the Hy-Ductflam, a 100% hydrogen duct burner emitting zero carbon during hydrogen combustion, exemplifies this trend. The adoption of eco-friendly burners allows industries to transition seamlessly from natural gas to hydrogen, offering high efficiency, mechanical reliability, and flexibility. This development aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainable and environmentally conscious industrial practices, contributing to the overall growth of the industrial burner market.

An industrial burner is a mechanical device that combines fuel and air, creating a platform for combustion using an ignition source. Industrial burners play a crucial role in the heating systems of boilers and furnaces, controlling the temperature of entire manufacturing facilities and supporting various heating activities during production.

The main fuel types for industrial burners include oil, gas, solid fuel, and dual fuel. Oil, in this context, refers to viscous liquids used in cosmetics, paintings, pharmaceuticals, and other products that do not dissolve in water. It is utilized as a fuel in industrial burners, where the heat exchanger warms cold water. There are various types of industrial burners based on the fuel and operation characteristics. These include radiant burners, direct-fired burners, regenerative burners, high thermal release burners, self-recuperative burners, and others. These burners operate in both high temperatures (> 1,400°F) and low temperatures (< 1,400°F). Industrial burners find applications in boilers, furnaces or forges, air heating/drying, incineration, and other industrial processes.
