ORC Waste Heat to Power Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026 - 2035
The Global ORC Waste Heat to Power Market was valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% to reach USD 12.9 billion by 2035.
Growth is driven by accelerating decarbonization efforts, tightening environmental regulations, and rising pressure on industrial operators to improve energy efficiency. Large volumes of recoverable heat generated during industrial processes are increasingly viewed as an untapped energy resource rather than a loss. ORC technology enables this residual thermal energy to be converted into usable electricity, improving overall efficiency while reducing emissions. Volatile energy pricing and long-term cost control priorities are further strengthening adoption, as ORC systems help offset grid dependence and lower operational expenses. Continuous declines in the levelized cost of electricity, supported by technological maturity and scaling of system deployment, are expanding adoption beyond large facilities. Advances in system design, component efficiency, and operational reliability are improving output while reducing maintenance requirements, making ORC solutions more commercially attractive across a wider range of operating environments.
