The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a substantial impact on the machinery sector, driving up the costs of essential components such as steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings many of which are sourced from regions affected by the tariffs. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery are now facing tighter profit margins, as existing long-term contracts limit their ability to raise prices immediately. This climate of uncertainty has also led to postponed investments in automation and smart machinery, slowing potential productivity improvements. In response, companies are focusing on developing local suppliers, redesigning products to incorporate alternative materials, and adopting predictive maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and reduce the need for costly replacements.

This carbon capture, utilization, and storage market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The carbon capture, utilization, and storage market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.78 billion in 2024 to $3.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, increase in focus on reducing carbon dioxide (co2) emissions, increased demand from the medical industry and increase in demand for energy consumption.
The carbon capture, utilization, and storage market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to carbon capture providing financially lucrative opportunities, supportive government initiatives, increase in investments, growing demand from the oil and gas industry, and implementation of cop26 to limit global warming. Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on supplying to greenhouses, focusing on investing in AI-based technology that will drive innovation, focusing on strategic investing to stay competitive in the market, acquiring and partnering with other manufacturers and businesses, and focusing on direct air capture technologies to improve capturing efficiencies.
The forecast of 13.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher costs for specialized membranes and compressors from Norway and Canada, slowing the deployment of emissions-reduction technologies. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
Increasing industrial emissions are anticipated to boost the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) market in the coming years. Industrial emissions refer to the discharge of pollutants, including greenhouse gases, particulates, and volatile organic compounds, into the atmosphere as a result of manufacturing and production processes. The rise in industrial emissions is attributed to the growing global demand for products, expanded industrial activities, and inadequate adoption of cleaner technologies. CCUS technology is employed in various industries to capture and sequester CO2 emissions, thus mitigating their environmental impact and aiding compliance with regulatory standards. For example, in December 2023, data from Earth System Science Data (ESSD) Copernicus, a Germany-based interdisciplinary journal, projected that global fossil CO2 emissions, including cement carbonation, would increase by 1.1% in 2023 compared to 2022, reaching 10.0 Gt C per year (36.8 Gt CO2 per year). Emissions from coal, oil, and gas are all expected to slightly exceed their 2022 levels, rising by 1.1%, 1.5%, and 0.5%, respectively. Thus, the rise in industrial emissions will propel the growth of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market.
Increasing carbon prices are likely to further drive the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market in the future. Carbon prices represent the cost associated with emitting one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2), typically set through carbon markets or regulatory frameworks to encourage reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in carbon prices is driven by heightened regulatory pressures, global climate commitments, and an increased focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. Higher carbon prices generate economic incentives for companies to invest in carbon capture technologies to minimize their emissions and avoid expensive penalties linked to carbon pricing mechanisms. For instance, in May 2024, the World Bank, a US-based international financial institution, reported that carbon pricing revenues reached a record $104 billion in 2023, while Finland's carbon taxes increased to $99.98 per ton of CO2, up from $85.10 per ton in 2022. Therefore, the rise in carbon prices will drive growth in the carbon capture, utilization, and storage markets.
Leading companies in the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market are prioritizing technological advancements, such as direct air capture (DAC) technologies, to improve their brand reputation and showcase their commitment to sustainability. DAC technology involves processes that capture carbon dioxide directly from the surrounding air through chemical methods, allowing for its subsequent storage or utilization. For example, in March 2024, ZeoDAC, a US-based technology company focused on innovative solutions, introduced a new carbon capture technology that employs advanced solid materials, specifically high-performance zeolites, to effectively capture carbon dioxide from the air. This technology utilizes a temperature-vacuum swing adsorption process, enabling rapid scaling and efficient carbon capture. Furthermore, ZeoDAC's system is capable of capturing water, which facilitates the production of valuable end-products that can provide economic benefits while also delivering environmental advantages.
Key players in the carbon capture, utilization, and storage market are incorporating automation technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), into climate finance solutions to improve efficiency and effectiveness in tracking emissions and optimizing carbon removal initiatives.
