U.S. Heat Exchangers Market Growth & Trends
The U.S. heat exchangers market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.8 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2023 to 2030. The surging demand for heat exchangers to achieve efficient thermal management in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, food & beverage, chemical, and petrochemical is likely to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.
The rising domestic end-use industries in the U.S. are a significant factor supporting the growth of the chemical sector in the United States. Heat exchangers are necessary for heating, cooling, and mixing materials during the manufacture of chemicals. The rapid expansion of the chemical industry in the U.S. is expected to significantly fuel the U.S. market.
Furthermore, the companies in the U.S. are focusing on the circular economy and with an emphasis on investments in green and sustainable chemicals. With a growing emphasis on sustainability, key players are focused on energy-efficient solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower carbon footprints. For instance, SPX FLOW, Inc. provides heat exchangers with low energy usage that use CO2 as a highly efficient cooling medium.
The U.S. market growth is also propelled by the growing utilization of the energy sector. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2022, the total electricity generation from utility-scale generators in the U.S. was around 4,243 billion kilowatts and about 60% of the electricity generated was generated from fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum). The total net electricity generation in 2021 was around 4,109 billion kilowatts.
Moreover, innovation and technological improvements, such as phase-change technology with the sustainable aspect in the air-cooled heat exchangers, may entail innovative designs. In addition, improvements in the regulatory framework in various end-use industries are likely to facilitate such innovation providing environmentally sound technologies for heat transfer.
Key players in the market are actively engaged in R&D expenditure activities, product launches, mergers & acquisitions, and joint ventures to achieve higher market position and revenue generation. For instance, in February 2023, ALFA LAVAL announced the investment plans to further support the global energy transition. Through this initiative, the company seeks to invest USD 343.7 million (SEK 3.8 billion) in a capacity expansion program for heat exchangers in services, production, and distribution capacity in Sweden, Italy, the U.S., and China.
