The global industrial boiler market size is expected to reach USD 22,714.6 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 3.6% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rapid industrialization in developing economies is expected to boost the demand for the industry during the forecast period. In addition, the growing food and beverage industry is expected to positively impact product demand over the coming years.
Boilers are vessels that produce steam to fulfill heating requirements with the support of numerous energy sources including oil and gas, fossils, non-fossils, and biomass. These vessels are used by numerous industries including food and beverage, power, textiles, FMCG, and thermal power plants. Chemicals and petrochemical is the largest industry to use industrial boilers.
Growing industrialization including the expansion of existing plants and the establishment of new manufacturing plants are likely to drive the market over the forecast period. Growing population coupled with increasing disposable income is likely to boost the growth of the food and beverage industry. As a result, there is a constant expansion of manufacturing plants across the globe, which, in turn, will boost product demand, especially in developed economies.
One of the key challenges faced by the industry is the emission of harmful gases into the environment. However, strict regulations implemented by numerous regulatory bodies have driven manufacturers to modify their products accordingly. The modified products not only comply with the regulations but are also energy efficient. These changes are expected to further boost the adoption of these products, thus, driving the market.
