Based on application, the industry is segmented into pre-heating & electricity & steam generation. The market is dominated by electricity and steam generation, which is expected to surpass USD 16 billion by 2032. These are versatile forms of energy widely used in various industrial processes, making them highly sought-after outputs from waste heat recovery systems. Moreover, harnessing waste heat for electricity or steam generation in cement plants reduces conventional energy consumption, cutting costs and carbon emissions.
Based on temperature the cement waste heat recovery system market is segregated into <230°C, 230°C - 650 °C, >650 °C. >650 °C is predicted to grow over a CAGR of 7.5% by 2032, propelled by high-grade waste heat emittion from cement kilns, which are essential components of cement production processes. In addition, well-established and widely available, ORC and Kalina Cycle systems efficiently harness waste heat above 650°C, providing reliable solutions for cement manufacturers.
Asia Pacific influences the market which is projected to grow over USD 14.5 billion by 2032, soared by rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and industrialization across countries like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. Additionally, governments enforce regulations and incentivize sustainability, driving cement manufacturers to invest for emission reduction and energy efficiency. For instance, in April 2022, Climeon's HeatPower introduced 300 Marine, a next-gen WHR technology, generates 355 kW of carbon-free power from waste heat in harsh marine environments, reducing fuel consumption, and aiding regulatory compliance, it offers shipowners a durable, cost-efficient solution.
North America's cement waste heat recovery market is gaining momentum driven by sustainability goals and environmental regulations. Initiatives in the US and Canada incentivize adoption, spurring technological advancements. Moreover, cement manufacturers, aiming to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency, increasingly embrace waste heat recovery solutions complementing the North America waste heat recovery systems industry outlook.
