The global plate & frame heat exchangers market is anticipated to reach USD 8.80 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rapid growth in the chemical & petrochemical industries coupled with rapid industrialization in the Asia Pacific region are expected to propel the market demand in the coming years.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the pharmaceuticals industry is recognized as the sunrise sector for the economy of the country in the Union Budget-2022. It is predicted to triple in size in the next few years. According to the Economic Survey for 2021-2022, the pharmaceutical industry in India is projected to reach USD 65 billion by 2024. The growth of the industry in the country can be attributed to the leadership of domestic manufacturers that offer generic pharmaceutical formulations. Thus, the growing pharmaceuticals industry in India is expected to lead to surged demand for plate & frame heat exchangers market used in it during the forecast period.
Most processes in the petrochemical industry involve high pressure and temperature, thereby necessitating the optimization of heat transfer as well as the enhancement of energy savings. Factors such as the type of fluid heated or cooled govern the choice of reactor design in petrochemical production facilities. Temperature control plays a key role in the petrochemical production process to minimize the formation of undesired by-products. This necessitates the requirement for heat exchangers such as plate & frame heat exchangers to enhance productivity and reduce energy loss in the reactors.
The plate & frame heat exchanger is an essential part of the power generating units and plants as it is required for the evaporation of working fluids, condensation of working fluids, extraction of heat, cooling of lube oil, and cooling of motor cooling water. The heat exchanger is a low-cost, effective, and efficient means of heat transfer. The European Union is installing new power generation plants to ensure efficient energy consumption, which is in line with the norms set by the European Parliament in 2009. The new and efficient heat exchangers, which are installed in the power generating plants, are expected to reduce the overall energy consumption. Such government initiatives are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
