Industrial Boilers Global Market Report 2024

The industrial boilers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.38 billion in 2023 to $15.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as rapid industrialization, adherence to energy efficiency regulations, global economic trends, growing environmental concerns, government incentives, and fluctuations in raw material prices.

The industrial boilers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for power generation, adherence to stringent emission standards, integration of renewable energy sources, globalization of industries, and investments in infrastructure. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) and automation technologies, a heightened focus on energy efficiency, the enforcement of stringent emission regulations, a shift towards biomass and renewable fuels, and a growing emphasis on customization and modular designs.

The industrial boilers market is poised for growth, primarily driven by the increasing focus on power generation. The expansion of this market is attributed to the rising demand for electricity and the installation of industrial burners in large-scale power plants. Notably, the BRICS countries, particularly China, India, Russia, and Brazil, experienced significant growth in electricity consumption in 2022. The increased power generation, particularly from coal, wind, and solar energy sources in China, is expected to be a key factor stimulating the industrial boilers market during the forecast period.

The contributing factor to the growth of the industrial boilers market is the surge in mining activities. These activities involve the extraction of valuable minerals and resources, and industrial boilers play a pivotal role by providing essential heat and energy for various applications in mining processes. For instance, the United States Geological Survey reported a notable increase in the estimated US mine production of mineral commodities from $80.7 billion in 2020 to $90.4 billion in 2021. This growth in mining activities is a significant driver for the industrial boilers market.

The industrial boiler market is witnessing the adoption of technological advancements as a prominent trend. Key industry players are actively developing innovative solutions to enhance their market position. An example is Babcock Wanson Ltd., a UK-based producer of industrial boilers, which introduced the GOOD LOOP Concept - Nox Abatement technology in December 2021. This technology aims to minimize Nox emissions in industrial boilers by directly injecting recycled exhaust gases into the combustion chamber, resulting in a 20 to 30 mg/Nm3 reduction in Nox emissions.

Major companies in the industrial boiler market are emphasizing the development of technologically advanced products to gain a competitive edge. One such product is the electric steam boiler, which offers advantages such as cleanliness, efficiency, and ease of installation. Babcock Wanson Ltd. launched the VAP EL 400V electric steam boiler in August 2022, featuring a compact design, modular structure, and high efficiency of up to 99%. This new boiler is designed to provide a clean, efficient, and reliable source of steam for a variety of industrial applications.

In August 2021, Babcock Wanson Ltd. strengthened its position in the market through the acquisition of Steam Plant Engineering Ltd., a UK-based engineering service specializing in industrial boiler servicing and steam generation. This strategic move aligns with Babcock Wanson Ltd.'s vision to become a pan-European leader in industrial boiler products, combining industry-leading competitors to better serve the market.
