Demand Analysis of Heat Exchangers from 2017-2021 Vs Market Outlook for 2022-2031

“Growing Need to Use of Energy-efficient Devices to Boost Demand for Heat Exchangers”

The global heat exchangers market was valued at US$ 18.94 billion in 2021.

A heat exchanger is a device that allows heat to be transferred from one fluid to another. It's utilized to regulate a system's or substance's temperature. It contains hot and cooler fluid streams that are used to transfer thermal energy between them. If the fluids are immiscible, they can be separated by a regenerative thermal oxidizer or plate or kept in direct contact.

These heat transfer devices aid in the heating and cooling of buildings, as well as the proper operation of motors and machinery. As a result, air blast coolers, heater coils, boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, freezers, car radiators, sewage treatment, and air conditioning systems all use them.

The market is primarily driven by significant increase in the demand for heat, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) from the industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. This can be attributed to rising disposable income levels, shifting living standards, and globally extreme average climatic conditions.

Furthermore, rising environmental concerns among consumers about the use of energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly devices are driving market growth. Government organizations have enacted strict rules to limit carbon emissions across industries, resulting in a bright future for the heat exchangers industry.

Demand for heat exchangers is projected to rise at a CAGR of 6% from 2022 to 2031.

Which Emerging Trend is Fuelling Sales of Heat Exchangers?

“Rapid Deployment of Advanced Technologies for Waste Heat Recovery”

Every industry on the planet generates waste heat, which can be trapped and reused to harness high temperatures and energies. Because this equipment is equipped with the functionality to do so, it is in high demand across all industry verticals.

Their use generates revenues for the owner by increasing heat utilization and lowering energy costs per unit. Furthermore, application industries including power plants and the food and beverage industry are growing at a strong rate, supporting investment in such exchangers.

The global need for energy has been fueled by causes such as rising population rates and rapid industrialization. However, because of increased greenhouse gas emissions from companies, this has a negative impact on the environment.

As a result, a number of businesses are using energy-efficient technologies for waste heat recovery and improving process optimization by installing innovative heat recovery devices in a variety of industrial applications. This is projected to contribute to the global heat exchangers market growth over the forecast period.

Which Roadblocks are Hampering Heat Exchangers Market Expansion?

“High Maintenance Cost & Fluctuating Raw Material Prices Restraining Market Growth”

Raw material price fluctuations in copper, aluminum, steel, and other metals affect heat exchanger manufacturers.

One of the major market limitations is the regular cracking and rust of devices, which is accompanied by difficult tube cleaning. Because this equipment has to deal with a variety of chemicals and water types, internal part corrosion is a big worry, and the complexity of maintaining and replacing any parts adds to the losses.

These considerations may limit market expansion to some extent.

Which Region Will Lead Revenue Generation for Heat Exchanger Manufacturers?

“Increasing Demand for Sustainable Energy Usage Driving Market Growth in Europe”

Europe accounts for 35% revenue share of the global heat exchangers market. Increasing focus on less carbon-intensive activities and demand for sustainable energy usage driving demand for heat exchangers in the region.

Industrial development is predicted to be fuelled by rising public and private infrastructure investments, as well as increased demand from a variety of end-use industries for steam heat exchangers with improved durability, performance, and corrosion resistance.
