The global flue gas desulfurization system market size was valued at USD 21.4 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2034. The developing global economy has systematically increased the demand for energy which is correspondingly have triggered an international imbalance across emissions and pollution. As a result, emissions from power plants alongside industrial processes are rising at an unprecedented level which has raised concern among international policy makers to adopt the product.
The modification of power plants by increasing the size of already existing industrial structures alongside new investments in novel industrial parks have weighted heavily on governments for implementing tighter emission standards. This industrialization is raising the level of concern for air quality especially, sulfur dioxide (SO?) and other emitted pollutants. As a result, there is an increased demand for new technology of Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems, thereby augmenting the industry growth.

Changes in the global economy have brought environmental concerns with intense competition causing the need to put in place stricter laws. This has prompted business and industries to lower emissions of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon, mercury, particulate matter, and other pollutants. Hence, there is a growing demand for emission control technologies including FGD system and SOx scrubbers in industrial and manufacturing plants. In addition, the high growth rate of the industry in these areas will be caused by the efficiency of these systems used in reduction of pollutants to waste streams.
The market for the wet flue gas desulfurization system is anticipated to reach over USD 35 billion by 2034. Adoption of these wet flue gas desulfurization systems is likely to rapidly increase as the regulations surrounding the emission of particulate matter are stringent along with the growing requirement to manage wastewater alongside air pollutants in energy-loaded industries. Increasingly, these systems are gaining prominence owing to their ability to meet the tightening set environmental standards. This is due to the fact, as they have a high efficiency in removing sulfur dioxide (SO?) and particulate matter from industrial emissions.
The flue gas desulfurization system market for power plant application will witness growth at a CAGR of over 5.2% by 2034. These systems are extensively used in the generation of power to ensure a reduction and control of the emission levels that are generated during the operations.
They effectively limit the release of sulfur dioxide (SO?) alongside other pollutants to guarantee compliance with environmental regulations. The economic revival along with the rapid pace of the industrialization has significantly boosted the demand for electricity which has led to the expansion of power generation capacity. This growth has increased the need for FGD technologies, and other advanced emission control technologies.
Flue gas desulfurization system market in the U.S. is expected to surpass USD 3 billion by 2034. Increased government spending in addition to various projects and programs focusing on emission cuts is expected to ease costs of designing and deploying sophisticated technologies. This development is projected to greatly enhance the market opportunities for flue gas desulfurization in the country in the future.
The combination of shared oil and gas infrastructure with power generation plants, together with regional cooperation, can speed up the use of FGD systems in the Asia Pacific region. Targeting industrial clusters in Southeast Asia including Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore which are major industrial centers is an ideal way to promote emissions reduction initiatives.
The competition within the flue gas desulfurization FGD systems market is high due to the increasing need for emission control technologies as a result of stringent environmental policies. Major players in this market are pursuing technology through investment, geographic expansion, and market repositioning through mergers and acquisitions assisting industries with innovative solutions to curb emissions.
