The global combined heat & power installation market size is expected to reach USD 12.84 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2025 to 2030. Modification in preferences towards replacing conventional sources of energy systems on account of uninterrupted power supply and operational cost is expected to drive the market. Growing energy demand from industrial applications, such as paper, pulp, chemical, cement, pharmaceuticals, refining, and sugar is also expected to have a positive impact on market growth. Rising demand for lighting and space heating applications in retail malls, offices, hospitals, and universities has also encouraged CHP installation for commercial applications.
Natural gas-based fuel systems dominated the market and accounted for over 65.0% of the total capacity in 2019. A recent decline in natural gas prices on account of the discovery of unconventional natural gas reserves is expected to drive this segment over the forecast period. Coal-based systems are expected to witness moderate growth rates with an estimated CAGR of 2.3% from 2020 to 2027. Government regulations to curb Greenhouse Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere are expected to drive CHP system installations in various sectors such as industrial, residential, commercial, and institutional sectors which include hospitals and schools. CHP systems require less fuel to generate the same energy as SHIP systems, and therefore, can reduce GHGs and air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide to enter into the atmosphere.
