Report Overview
The global flue gas desulfurization system market is growing at a high rate owing to the rising electricity consumption along with increasing investment towards establishing new thermal power generation plants...
Global Flue Gas Desulfurization System Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028
The global flue gas desulfurization system market was worth USD 19.4 billion in 2021 and is further projected to reach USD 27.5 billion by the year 2028, growing at a CAGR of 5.20% during the forecast period. The growth of the flue gas desulfurization system market is attributed to rising electricity consumption along with increasing investment towards establishing new thermal power generation plants. Furthermore, the surging application of the FGD system in various industries including agriculture, water treatment, etc., also acts as a major driving factor for market growth.
Flue Gas Desulfurization System - Overview
The process of eliminating sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gas generated in boilers and furnaces is known as flue gas desulfurization (FGD). It assists in efficiently addressing emerging environmental concerns and regulating plant emissions. FGD can be done in either a wet or dry manner. Dry FGD, for example, uses lime as a reagent to react with gaseous contaminants and eliminate them. Wet FGD, on the other hand, involves the use of an alkaline-based lime slurry to scrub gasses.
Flue Gas Desulfurization System Market Forecast and Trends
Growth Drivers
Concerning Level of Sulphur Oxide Emission in Environment
Sulfur oxide is among the major causes of air pollution. It mainly originates from electric utilities, especially those that run on coal. The high concentration of sulfur oxide in the environment can prove to be harmful to the lungs and may cause breathing problems. Furthermore, it can cause severe medical conditions such as asthma and bronchitis, if inhaled regularly. As a result, the focus towards management and controlling of sulfur oxide is rising, propelling the flue gas desulfurization system market growth.
High Dependence on Coal for Power Generation
The burning of fossil fuels is one of the major sources of sulfur oxide. This is very prominent in power plants and other industrial facilities, especially in emerging economies. According to the International Energy Agency, coal provides one-third of global electricity and plays a crucial role in industries such as iron and steel. And around 80 countries now produce electricity from coal. Due to this, the sulfur oxide levels are increasing, propelling the demand for solutions such as flue gas desulfurization systems for the management of these levels.
Restraints
Increasing Adoption of Greener Energy Sources
The need to utilize renewable energy sources for sustainability has been characterized by a cleaner, cooler, and healthier environment, and so the reliance on carbon fuels is reducing. Countries are pursuing renewable energy sources such as hydropower, offshore and onshore wind, solar photovoltaic, and biofuels. This is the primary impediment to the expansion of coal-fired power plants, and as a result, the demand for FGD systems is declining strongly.
Impact of COVID-19 on Flue Gas Desulfurization System Market
The global flue gas desulfurization system market was negatively impacted by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The restrictions on the manufacturing and production operations worldwide resulted in a stark decline in pollution levels. Energy consumption also registered a significant decline during this period. Furthermore, the flue gas desulfurization system installation projects were also postponed during the lockdown period due to the limited availability of resources.
Flue Gas Desulfurization System Market - By Type
Based on type, the global flue gas desulfurization system market is segmented into wet FGD systems, dry & semi-dry FGD systems. The west FGD systems segment holds the largest share in the flue gas desulfurization system market. Wet FGD systems have the highest SOx removal efficiency (greater than 90%), whereas dry FGD systems have the lowest (about 80%). Wet systems account for more than 85 percent of all FGD systems implemented worldwide, owing to reduced reagent and operational costs, more fuel flexibility, and the possibility of using by-products.
Flue Gas Desulfurization System Market - By Installation
Based on installation, the flue gas desulfurization system market is segmented into greenfield and brownfield. The greenfield segment accounts for the largest market share owing to its lower cost and risk compared to brownfield. Greenfield sites are often at the edges of the cities where the land is cheaper, which is why most flue gas desulfurization system sites are situated in these installation spaces.
Flue Gas Desulfurization System Market - Regional Insights
Geographically, the global flue gas desulfurization system market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa. As a result of higher regulations and power output in the area, the Asia Pacific FGD systems market will experience rising demand from the power generation industry. In 2020, the power generating industry consumed the most FGD in the Asia Pacific area, accounting for the largest share of the Asia Pacific FGD systems market.
