Market Dynamics

Introduction

Industrial boilers are closed vessels in which fuel (natural gas & biomass, oil, coal, etc.) is used to heat water or generate steam for industrial heating and humidification applications.

Industrial boilers can be classified on the basis of the method of heat exchange; fire-tube boilers feed hot gases as a heat source through tubes, whereas water-tube boilers feed water through tubes, and the water gets heated from the heating elements surrounding the tubes.

Market Drivers

The prime factor contributing to the demand for industrial boilers is mainly:

  • The rapid growth in the industrial sector.
  • The increasing demand for eco-friendly boilers in compliance with stringent emission regulations.

Some of the factors that drive the industrial boiler market include the need to produce heat at the lowest possible cost, the need to meet environmental standards that support clean technologies, and the expansion of industries across the globe. Technological tools like the use of predictive maintenance and materials engineering improve overall production and efficiency, as well as the reliability of the systems in use. The cooperation between technology suppliers and industries drives market growth, and investments in developments such as advanced control systems change industrial boilers.
