The global combined heat and power market size is expected to reach USD 51.46 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Combined Heat and Power Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Fuel (Coal, Natural Gas, Biomass, Nuclear, Others), By Prime Mover, By End Use, By Region - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Combined heat and power process, also known as cogeneration, generates electricity and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source. Unlike conventional power plants where waste heat is released into the atmosphere, CHP systems capture and use this heat for various applications such as space heating, water heating, or industrial processes. This method significantly improves overall energy efficiency, reduces energy costs, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, making it an attractive solution for a wide range of end-users. It represents a key component of decentralized energy systems, providing on-site power and thermal energy to homes, businesses, and industrial facilities.
The market for combined heat and power is a significant part of the global energy sector, driven by a strong focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. The increasing demand for a reliable power supply, along with a growing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions, is pushing the adoption of this technology. The market is seeing a lot of activity from major players who are investing in research and development to create more advanced and efficient systems. These new systems are designed to be more flexible, work with cleaner fuels, and integrate with smart grid technologies. The market outlook is positive, with continued growth expected as more industries and countries adopt these systems to meet their energy and environmental goals.
By fuel, the natural gas segment held the largest share in 2024. Its leadership is attributed to its wide availability, relatively low cost, and cleaner-burning properties compared to other fossil fuels, which align with global environmental goals.
By prime mover, the reciprocating engines segment held the largest share in 2024. These systems are highly versatile and reliable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications from industrial to commercial settings.
By end use, the industrial segment held the largest share in 2024. This is because industries have a consistent need for both electricity and thermal energy for their processes, making combined heat and power a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for their energy needs.
By region, Asia Pacific held the largest share in 2024. This is mainly because of rapid industrialization, growing urbanization, and increasing energy demand in countries across the region, especially in China and India. The combined heat and power market in North America is driven by the region's strong focus on energy efficiency and cost reduction in the industrial and commercial sectors.
A few prominent companies in the combined heat and power market include Siemens Energy AG, General Electric Company, Caterpillar Inc., Wartsila Corporation, Veolia, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., MAN Energy Solutions SE, Bosch Thermotechnology GmbH, Johnson Controls International PLC, and Doosan Corporation.
