Market Challenges

• The shift towards renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, is gaining momentum in developed countries, leading to a decrease in the use of fossil fuel-based power plants for baseload capacity. Traditionally, coal-fired power plants have provided the majority of electricity in the United States, but this trend is changing. In 2022, coal generated only 19.5% of the electricity at utility-scale facilities in the US, down from 51% in 2001. The US is investing in gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plants and closing coal-fired power plants, as GTCC plants do not require large-scale industrial boilers for power generation. The cost of renewable energy technologies has decreased significantly, making wind and solar electricity competitive with electricity generated by fossil fuels. Multilateral financial institutions have stopped financing the construction of coal-fired power plants since 2013. Developing countries in Asia and Africa continue to build coal power plants, but most developed countries are not witnessing a notable increase in their coal-fired electricity generation capacity. Consequently, the global demand for boilers from the power generation sector is expected to decrease, negatively impacting the growth of the global boilers market during the forecast period.
• The industrial boilers market faces several challenges in various sectors like refinery, chemical, food processing, pulp & paper, primary metal, and more. Domestic manufacturing capacity and industrial facilities are crucial concerns, as industries strive to meet growing demand and expand. Exporting manufacturing boilers comes with additional costs, including installation, labor, miscellaneous expenses, and potential downtime due to damaged boilers. Heavy expenses such as electricity bills and natural gas feedstock prices add to the burden. Closure of industries, offices, and commercial spaces due to supply chain disruptions can impact the market. Transitioning to carbon neutrality and renewable energy heaters presents growth opportunities, but energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness are key considerations. Coal-based counterparts face emission limits, making energy-efficient systems a feasible option. Logistics services and consumer spending patterns also influence market dynamics. The real estate sector, particularly green buildings, offers potential for eco-friendly residential boilers.
