Flue gas treatment systems encompass various components such as bag filters, dry reactors, and multi-cyclones, which collectively capture pollutants to ensure compliance with stringent emission standards. These systems are particularly utilized in purifying gas derived from waste-to-energy processes before its release into the environment.
The primary control mechanisms within flue gas treatment systems include pollutant control systems, particulate control, flue gas desulfurization, denox, mercury control, and other related methods. Particulate control involves mechanisms that utilize physical separation methods rather than chemical ones, effectively capturing larger particle matter. Businesses engaged in this field encompass systems, services, and other related activities. These systems find application in various industries like power generation, cement production, iron and steel manufacturing, non-ferrous metal industries, chemical and petrochemical sectors, as well as other diverse industries such as glass manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and pulp and paper production.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are significantly impacting the flue gas treatment systems market by increasing the cost of imported bag filters, reactors, cyclones, catalysts, sensors, and heavy steel structures required for large-scale installations. Power generation, cement, and iron and steel facilities in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia-Pacific are most affected due to reliance on imported high-performance components and engineered systems. These tariffs are elevating project capital expenditure and extending system deployment timelines, particularly for retrofitting projects. However, they are also encouraging localized manufacturing of pollution control equipment, strengthening regional supply chains, and driving innovation in cost-optimized and modular flue gas treatment solutions.

This flue gas treatment systems 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 flue gas treatment systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $74.31 billion in 2025 to $78.34 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of waste-to-energy facilities, tightening air emission regulations, growth in industrial combustion processes, rising investments in pollution control infrastructure, increasing focus on environmental compliance.
The flue gas treatment systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $96.45 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of next-generation emission control systems, expansion of industrial decarbonization initiatives, rising investments in retrofitting aging plants, growing demand for mercury and dioxin control solutions, increasing integration of digital monitoring systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of advanced emission control technologies, rising integration of multi-pollutant treatment systems, growing adoption of energy-efficient flue gas cleaning solutions, expansion of modular and scalable treatment configurations, enhanced focus on regulatory compliance systems.
The growth of the flue gas treatment systems market is expected to be supported by expanding liquefied natural gas production. LNG production facilities typically involve combustion processes, which can generate emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Flue gas treatment systems help reduce and control these emissions, enabling compliance with environmental regulations. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to around -162 degrees Celsius (-260 degrees Fahrenheit), causing it to transition from a gaseous to a liquid state. Small LNG distribution stations require compact, high-efficiency cryocoolers to reliquefy boil-off gas in storage tanks. For example, in January 2024, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that US LNG exports grew by 12% in 2023, averaging 11.9 billion cubic feet per day, making the United States the largest LNG exporter worldwide. Consequently, the expansion of liquefied natural gas production is driving the growth of the flue gas treatment systems market.
Major companies in the flue gas treatment systems market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, such as compact emission control devices, to assist customers in complying with genset emission regulations and minimizing environmental impact by reducing harmful exhaust emissions. A compact emission control device is a specialized system designed to significantly diminish harmful exhaust emissions from engines or industrial processes, typically characterized by its small size and high efficiency in filtering pollutants like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. For example, in September 2024, Cummins India Limited, an India-based manufacturer of diesel and natural gas engines, introduced the Retrofit Aftertreatment System (RAS). This system reduces Particulate Matter (PM), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions from genset exhaust by up to 90% while maintaining a compact and cost-efficient design. Its Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and Particulate Filter technology ensure compliance with stringent emission regulations, promoting cleaner air and lower maintenance costs.
