The major concern for all countries is to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and to reduce energy utilization to reduce cost. The production of electricity contains both carbon dioxide emissions and also represents an enormous amount of energy consumption. The use of better electricity generation technology is anticipated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and save on energy.
Moreover, the electrical power generation industry is the major end-user of coal. Research is ongoing for ultra-supercritical units which are capable of operating at even higher efficiencies, possibly up to 50%. The new technologies can help in reducing emissions, and this, in turn, can increase the use of coal in the forecast period.
The tightening of environmental regulations has made NOx emission control from coal-fired plants a universal requirement for choosing the plant site and licensing. Hence, to ensure the compliance of coalfired plant operators with strict regulations, technologically advanced systems are currently in development.
Moreover, the company's patented hood design, with no turning vanes, eliminates the accumulation of ash on the catalyst. In addition, it ensures economic efficiency and regulatory compliance by coal-fired plant operators. Thus, technologically advanced SCR systems are expected to provide superior performance, thus propelling the growth of the global selective catalytic reduction systems for coal-fired plants market for coal-fired plants during the forecast period.
Stringent regulations for the depletion in NOx emissions from coal-fired plants have compelled operators globally to contemplate the adoption of various NOx control technologies such as low NOx combustion technologies or post-combustion technologies. Hence, there is an increasing interest in SCR systems to reduce NOx emissions.
Additionally, catalysts used in SCR systems have a finite lifetime in the flue gas, while some amount of ammonia slips through without taking part in the reaction. During the course of their operation, SCR systems are also highly susceptible to leakage and contamination. Low NOx burners virtually incur no operation and maintenance or reagent costs. Thus, low-cost alternatives would limit the growth of the global SCR systems market for coal-fired plants.
The large-scale power plant segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period. Large-scale coal-fired plants have a capacity greater than 300 MW. In general, electricity is supplied to the grid by large-scale coal-fired plants. These plants reduce the costs per unit of power generated as the cost gets spread over a large base.

The large-scale power plant segment was valued at USD 1,600.69 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. In order to meet the increasing demand for energy, large-scale coal-fired power plants are being commissioned around the world. These plants would have to install emission control technologies to comply with stringent government regulations for NOx reduction. Thus, the global SCR systems for coal-fired plants market is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period.
Based on type, the market has been segmented into DeNOx and DeSOx. DeNOx held the largest market share by type in the global SCR systems market for coal-fired plants in 2022. Due to strict government rules and regulations to protect the environment from various polluting and hazardous elements such as carbon monoxide, the adoption of DeNOx systems is on the rise. Filter systems for NOx removal will be needed in order to use coal so much. Thus, more stringent regulations are forcing many coal-fired plants to install DeNOx systems in their plants to minimize nitrogen emissions is expected to fuel the DeNOx systems, fueling the growth of the global SCR systems market for coal-fired plants during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 63% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period. In 2022, the major contributing countries to the selective catalytic reduction systems for coal-fired plants market in APAC were China, India, and Japan. APAC accounts for the highest share of the global SCR systems for coal-fired plants market owing to the high installed capacity of coal-fired power generation.
Moreover, the new coal-fired power plants have been built in some of the SE Asia countries, which has led to significant demand for coal-fired generation in this region. In addition, in the next ten years, there will be 36 new coal power plants being built in Japan. Similarly, the Government of Bangladesh has committed to substantial growth in the coal-fired power capacity, which can lead to a rise in the share of coal in the power generation mix. On similar lines, coal plays a major role in Thailand's energy mix. Coal-fired power generation is expected to grow in APAC during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had an adverse impact on several countries in the region. However, in 2021, construction activities in coal-fired plants resumed owing to the increased vaccination drives in the region conducted by the governments. Also, several countries in the region are trying to reduce their carbon emissions, which would facilitate the adoption of advanced SCR systems. Thus, the regional SCR systems for coal-fired plants market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
