Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The stringent regulations on carbon dioxide emissions is notably driving the circulating fluidized bed boiler market growth, although factors such as high initial investment may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the circulating fluidized bed boiler industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the circulating fluidized bed boiler market is the stringent regulations on carbon dioxide emissions. Emissions from burning coal account for the largest share of carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. Government bodies worldwide are focusing on the reduction of GHG emissions. Agencies such as EPA, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the Climate Change Act of 2008 have laid down targets for reducing emissions. For instance, the US, the UK, and China have laid down restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions from new coal power plants. These regulations add impetus to the use of circulating fluidized bed boilers. The possibility of achieving low emission through the use of circulating fluidized bed boilers has encouraged their adoption in utilities and the chemical industry. The adoption also helps accomplish emission targets.
Key Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Market Trend
The use of biomass as a fuel in boiler is another factor supporting the circulating fluidized bed boiler market share growth. Amidst the concerns related to climate change that gravitates toward incalculable environmental damage, it has been a serious global challenge to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and the emissions associated with them. This has compelled utilities and manufacturing industries to seek an alternative to fossil fuels, which resulted in the development of boilers that can utilize renewables such as biomass and waste as fuels. Vendors have developed boilers with co-firing capability that can use a mixture of coal and a wide range of renewables for power generation. This is an effective option as it reduces coal consumption along with emissions since renewables produce lower emissions in comparison to fossil fuels such as coal. By adopting co-firing boilers, the waste that would have headed to landfills is routed to be used for steam and electricity generation.
Key Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler Market Challenge
The high initial investment will be a major challenge for the circulating fluidized bed boiler market during the forecast period. The essential components of circulating fluidized bed boilers are high pressure (HP) blower, fuel feeding system, solid recycle system, cyclone separator, superheat wing wall, and bottom ash drain, among others. The prices of these components have been increasing over the past few years because of the rise in raw material costs. These components are mainly made from bronze, polycarbonate, cast iron, stainless steel, and alloys. Because of inflation and the difficulty in the procurement of these materials, the prices of the materials are soaring. This has increased the cost of manufacturing, making circulating fluidized bed boilers more expensive than alternative boiler technologies. Circulating fluidized bed boiler plants require high capital and investment. Even though circulating fluidized bed boilers are considered cost-effective owing to the reduced emission and low fuel cost, the required high initial investment makes their adoption a challenge for plant owners that are low on financial resources. Thus, limiting the use of circulating fluidized bed boilers to a few.
This circulating fluidized bed boiler market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
In 2020, APAC witnessed the outbreak of COVID-19. The rise in the number of COVID-19 cases led to the imposition of lockdowns and restrictions on most commercial and industrial activities, which led to reduced demand for electricity. The initiation of vaccination drives is expected to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases in the region. Thus, the governments are lifting restrictions on commercial and industrial sectors, which is leading to an increase in the demand for electricity. This, in turn, will require the power plants to produce more electricity, which will lead to an increase in the demand for circulating fluidized bed boilers in the region during the forecast period.
