The global cooling tower market size is expected to reach USD 5,237.0 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing demand for energy-efficient cooling systems in commercial and industrial applications is anticipated to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. In addition, the surging global demand for cooling towers can be ascribed to the increasing number of industrial and commercial establishments worldwide.
With the continuous rise in electricity demand, there is a need to bridge the gap between demand and supply through renewable and non-renewable sources. Various power plants, including thermoelectric (oil, natural gas, nuclear, and coal) and hydroelectric, are utilized to generate abundant electricity. These power plants generate a large amount of electricity along with an innovative production of electricity, which can be effectively cooled using cooling towers to eliminate excess heat from the plant. Thus, thereby fueling the market demand over the forecast period.
Research undertaken for developing advanced cooling technologies for power plants focuses on several different aspects. For instance, in the case of wet cooling systems, research is aimed at minimizing the evaporative loss in cooling towers. On the other hand, for dry cooling systems, research focuses on reducing the steam condensation temperature. Such technological progress is anticipated to drive the demand for cooling towers in power plant applications globally.
The rise in the demand for thermoelectric power plants is expected to drive the growth of the cooling tower industry. These power plants generate enormous amounts of heat, which mandates the use of cooling towers. Cooling towers play a vital role in removing the excess heat generated in the power plants and hence, contribute to the safety of operations in power plants, which is expected to drive the demand for cooling towers over the forecast period.
Cooling tower manufacturers are undertaking collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to develop advanced and innovative solutions. In addition, manufacturers are also adopting several strategies like new product development, and geographical expansion, to enhance their market penetration and cater to end-use industries. For instance, in January 2023, Johnson Controls International Plc. acquired Hybrid Energy AS, a leading provider of high-temperature energy management solutions, to expand in Europe by launching new and cost-effective solutions.
