Based on power output segment, the > 1 - 5 MWe segment is forecasted to grow over USD 3.5 billion by 2032, driven by industrial sectors such as cement, steel, and glass production, which require efficient waste heat recovery systems. ORC systems are favored due to Europe's emphasis on energy efficiency and emission reduction, backed by regulatory support for higher-capacity solutions. The segment's prominence mirrors the rising demand for scalable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solutions in large-scale industries.
 

The market from ≤ 1 MWe power output systems is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 17% through 2032, due to its compatibility with numerous industrial processes that generate low to medium temperature waste heat. Their cost-effectiveness, modular design, and flexibility enable seamless integration into existing facilities, allowing businesses to tailor waste heat recovery capacity to their specific requirements. Furthermore, European governments actively promote renewable energy technologies, providing financial incentives and favourable policies for smaller-scale projects like ≤ 1 MWe ORC systems. Overall segment's success reflects growing demand for cost-effective, adaptable, and eco-friendly waste heat recovery solutions in region.
 

Russia ORC waste heat to power market size is projected to surpass USD 1 billion by 2032, swayed by combination of abundant natural resources, supportive government policies, and technological advancements. Country's vast reserves of oil, gas, and other resources have spurred growth of energy-intensive industries that generate substantial waste heat. As per Russian Federal State Statistics Service, the Oil & Gas industry across Russia holds an average of 18% share in GDP in 2022, which complements the waste heat to power industry. As a result, there is a considerable demand for ORC systems to recover and convert this heat into electricity.
 

In Germany, stringent environmental regulations and a strong emphasis on sustainability are driving the ORC waste heat to power market. Industries seek efficient ways to comply with regulations while reducing environmental impact, fueling demand for ORC systems. Meanwhile, in the UK, a focus on renewable energy sources and government incentives to support clean energy technologies are propelling market growth. Rising energy costs and the need for cost-effective solutions further contribute to the adoption of ORC technology in both countries.
