Global Economizer Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global Economizer Market size was valued at USD 7.60 billion in 2023, and the market size is expected to reach USD 11.79 billion by 2032 from USD 7.98 billion in 2024. The market's promising CAGR for the predicted period is 5.0%.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Economizers are mechanical devices intended to decrease energy consumption and are also utilized to perform multiple tasks, such as preheating a fluid. Economizers are used to recycle the energy produced in the system or take advantage of differences in ambient temperature to improve efficiency. Two types of economizers stand out, non-condensing economizers and condensing economizers. Non-condensing economizers are mainly used as they increase efficiency from 5% to 7%. Economizers help save fuel and save the process, which is why they are called economizers. These are also used to cool gases in power plants prior to desulfurization. Hence, they also help to reduce costs and conserve water. Economizer used as a heat exchanger in boilers, heating, power plants, refrigeration, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). In recent days, boilers, like those in coal-fired power plants, are still equipped with economizers. To capture residual heat from boiler flue gases and transfer it to the boiler feedwater, economizers are most often used in steam power plants.

A significant increase in energy consumption and demand for electricity in the world has resulted in the larger size of power plants, so the increasing demand for power plants is driving the growth of the economizer market. In addition, the application of economizers in the boiler wastewater recovery system generates demand for economizers in the market. In addition, the growing application of economizers in data centers to supplement or replace cooling devices such as computer room air conditioners (CRAC) or chillers. Therefore, the demands of data centers are driving the growth of economizers. Rapid industrialization and construction activity, with a growing preference for clean and renewable energy sources, are driving the growth of economizers around the world.

The huge increase in the demand for electricity in the world has resulted in an increase in the size of the power plant. The process of generating electricity in a coal-fired power station is one of the most widespread and conventional methods. Therefore, due to the factors mentioned above, the power plant economizer application is likely to dominate during the forecast period.

MARKET DRIVERS

The main factor determining the market studied is the growing demand for power plant economizers. The global economizers market is primarily driven by such factors as high usage of economizers due to growing construction activity and high demand for renewable energy and growing concern for the environment. Moreover, the increasing use of economizers in data centers is driving the growth of the economizer market. Tightening of government regulations aimed at reducing fuel consumption and ensuring energy conservation has led to the growth of the global economizer market in the recent past. Using economizers would improve fuel consumption by around 7-9%. They also contribute to overall cost reduction and greater operational efficiency. In addition, the rapid growth of end-use industries such as construction and power generation, especially in developing regions with increasing urbanization and industrialization, is another important driver of market growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

On the other hand, increasingly stringent environmental regulations limiting nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions from the power plant and unfavorable conditions related to the COVID-19 outbreak are hampering the market growth.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

The growing application of economizers in boiler waste heat recovery systems is expected to offer several market growth opportunities during the forecast period.

MARKET CHALLENGES

The increase in CO2 emissions from energy combustion operations challenges the growth of the global economizer market.
