Asia Pacific wet flue gas desulfurization system industry is expected to surpass USD 22 billion by 2032. The rising population and swift industrialization in emerging economies along with increasing retrofitting of air pollution methods across various industry verticals have resulted in heightened demand for manufacturing activities, which, in turn, is boosting the adoption of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems and fueling industry growth.
In addition, continuous advancements in wet FGD technology are enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of sulfur removal processes. Innovations such as improved sorbent materials and system designs are reducing operational costs and increasing reliability, making these systems more appealing to industries in the region, thereby catering to the market growth.
Based on application, the power plant application industry will grow at a CAGR of over 6.1% from 2024 to 2032. Strict environmental regulations focused on lowering sulfur dioxide (SO?) emissions along with the increasing demand for cleaner energy solutions are propelling growth in the application industry. Wet FGD systems are favored for their superior efficiency in removing SO2 from flue gases. Moreover, the surging energy needs in the region driven by population growth and urbanization are accelerating the transition to cleaner technologies. These systems play a vital role in reducing SO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants, making them essential for sustainably meeting the rising energy demands.
China wet flue gas desulfurization market is predicted to hit USD 8.5 billion by 2032. Prominent development and investment in new thermal power plants along with a favorable outlook of energy-intensive industries towards the reduction of emission and adding to the clean air quality is driving regional market especially across growing nations such as India and China.
For instance, in the first half of 2024, China experienced a notable increase in clean power generation. This, combined with a decline in heavy industries linked to the real estate sector resulted in a 2.9% decrease in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels. The rising trend of upgrading and retrofitting power plants to improve their efficiency across various industries from emissions before release into the atmosphere will further boost the industry growth.
