Based on application, the electricity and steam generation application will surpass USD 10 billion by 2032. Electricity and steam are versatile forms of energy widely used in various industrial processes, making them highly sought-after outputs from waste heat recovery systems. Harnessing waste heat for electricity or steam generation in chemical industries reduces conventional energy consumption, thereby cutting costs and carbon emissions.
Based on temperature, the >650 °C temperature range chemical WHRS is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% through 2032. High-temperature waste heat recovery systems often enable power generation, where heat is converted into electricity or used for high-pressure steam applications. This adds a significant revenue stream for chemical plants, further driving the demand for heat recovery solutions in the >650 °C temperature range.
The U.S. chemical waste heat recovery system market is anticipated to exceed USD 7 billion by 2032. Governments bodies are offering incentives, subsidies, and financial support for industries that invest in energy-efficient technologies like waste heat recovery systems. These incentives lower the upfront costs for companies, accelerating adoption. Programs focused on reducing industrial carbon footprints and enhancing energy security also drive market demand for waste heat recovery solutions in the chemical sector.
Asia Pacific significantly impacting the market driven by rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and industrialization across countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. Furthermore, government regulations and sustainability incentives are prompting chemical industry manufacturers to invest in emission reduction and energy efficiency measures.
