Industrial Boilers Market Report 2025

The industrial boilers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.26 billion in 2024 to $16.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid industrialization, energy efficiency regulations, global economic trends, environmental concerns, government incentives, raw material prices.

The industrial boilers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for power generation, stringent emission standards, renewable energy integration, globalization of industries, investments in infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of IoT and automation, focus on energy efficiency, stringent emission regulations, shift towards biomass and renewable fuels, customization and modular designs.

The rise in power generation is anticipated to drive the industrial boilers market moving forward. The market is expanding mainly due to the increased demand for power generation and electricity for large-scale power plant installations that utilize industrial burners in boilers. For instance, in 2022, a report from World Energy & Climate Statistics, an application that provides regional data and related statistics, highlighted a significant increase in electricity consumption within BRICS countries, particularly in China (+9.7%), India (+4.8%), Russia (+6.4%), and Brazil (+9.5%). This surge contributed to a global rise in power generation (+8.5% in 2021), with China seeing most of its growth in power generation from coal, wind, and solar energy. As a result, the increasing power generation is expected to fuel the industrial boilers market's growth during the forecast period.

The expansion of mining activities is expected to contribute to the growth of the industrial boilers market moving forward. Mining involves extracting valuable minerals and resources from the earth, and industrial boilers play a vital role in these processes by supplying essential heat and energy for various applications, including processing, smelting, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. For example, in May 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a national statistical agency, reported that Australia's mining industry grew to 220 entities in 2023, up from 202 in 2022. Consequently, the increase in mining activities is driving the industrial boilers market's growth.

Leading companies in the industrial boilers market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as high-efficiency industrial electric boilers, to boost energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance operational flexibility. These high-efficiency boilers are engineered to convert electrical energy into thermal energy with an efficiency rating typically exceeding 98%. For example, in August 2022, Babcock Wanson, a UK-based industrial boiler manufacturer, introduced a new range of high-efficiency industrial electric boilers. These boilers are designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of industrial operations, offering higher efficiency levels than traditional models and significantly lowering energy costs for users.

Leading companies in the industrial boiler market are focused on the development of technologically advanced products, such as electric steam boilers, to gain a competitive advantage. An electric steam boiler generates steam using electricity and provides several benefits over conventional boilers, including cleanliness, efficiency, and ease of installation. For instance, in August 2022, Babcock Wanson Ltd., a UK-based manufacturer of industrial boilers and burners, launched the VAP EL 400V three-phase, 50Hz electric steam boiler. Available in capacities ranging from 16 to 360 kW, the VAP EL 400V can generate steam pressures of up to 8.5 barg. This new boiler delivers a clean, efficient, and reliable steam source for various industrial applications, with a compact, modular design for easy installation and maintenance. It boasts up to 99% efficiency, helping reduce energy costs, and features safety protections such as over-pressure, low water level, and flame failure safeguards.

In January 2024, Thermon Group Holdings Inc., a US-based provider of industrial heating solutions, acquired Vapor Power International, LLC for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition expands Thermon's product offerings in electric resistance and low-emission technologies, aligning with current trends toward decarbonization and electrification. Vapor Power International LLC is a US-based manufacturer of industrial boilers.

Industrial boilers are enclosed vessels designed to heat water or produce steam for industrial heating and humidification purposes, utilizing either a fuel source or electricity. They play a crucial role in generating steam or heating water for space and process heating, as well as for the production of mechanical power and electricity.

The primary types of industrial boilers are fire-tube and water-tube. In a fire-tube boiler, water flows outside (around) the tube, while hot gases generated by the combustion chamber are within the tube. This type of boiler is employed to drive turbine blades and generate power. Various fuel types, including natural gas, biomass, coal, oil, and others, are used, with different boiler horsepower ranges such as 10-150 bhp, 51-300 bhp, and 301-600 bhp. Industrial boilers find applications in diverse industries, including chemicals and petrochemicals, paper and pulp, food and beverages, metals and mining, among others.
