Scrubber System Global Market Report 2026

A scrubber system is a pollution control device designed to eliminate harmful substances and materials from industrial exhaust fumes, thereby preventing their release into the environment.

There are two primary types of scrubber systems such as wet scrubbers and dry scrubbers. Wet scrubbers employ a combination of wet materials to effectively remove acidic gases and hazardous pollutants from industrial exhaust gases before they are discharged into the environment. They are commonly utilized to eliminate acid gases and harmful pollutants by employing a liquid scrubbing process on exhaust gases generated by furnaces or other industrial devices. Wet scrubbers are available in both wet and dry technology variants and find applications in various sectors, including onshore and offshore industries such as oil and gas, automotive, food and beverage, and chemical industries.

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 have impacted the scrubber system market by increasing costs of imported steel structures, fans, pumps, control units, and filtration components used in scrubber manufacturing. These impacts are most evident in wet and dry scrubber installations across oil and gas, chemical, and offshore applications, particularly in regions reliant on cross border industrial equipment trade such as Asia Pacific and Europe. Higher tariffs have raised project installation and capital costs. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged domestic fabrication, localized sourcing of components, and development of cost optimized scrubber designs, supporting long term market resilience.

The scrubber system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.07 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to tightening global emission standards, increasing investments in clean industrial technologies, expansion of offshore energy projects, rising focus on sustainable manufacturing practices, adoption of smart monitoring for pollution control. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of advanced emission control systems, growing demand for wet scrubber technologies in heavy industries, increasing integration of automation and monitoring in scrubber systems, expansion of scrubber installations in offshore applications, shift toward energy efficient and low maintenance scrubber designs.

The rising demand for scrubber systems from the marine industry is projected to support the expansion of the scrubber systems market in the coming years. The marine industry encompasses activities related to waterborne trade, including operations carried out on commercial, exploration, service, or other vessels that travel across oceans, inland waterways, coastal areas, harbors, and other separated locations. In this industry, scrubber systems are utilized to reduce or eliminate harmful pollutants from ship exhaust fumes, thereby limiting toxic emissions released into the environment. For example, in July 2024, Clarksons Research, a UK-based data and analytics organization, reported that the number of vessels equipped with scrubbers increased in 2024, with some data sources (covering newbuilds and retrofits) indicating a total of 5,838 ships with scrubber installations. Thus, the growing demand for scrubber systems within the marine sector is contributing to the market's growth.

Major companies operating in the scrubber system market are concentrating on creating advanced technological solutions, such as those enabling high productivity, to improve efficiency, lower emissions, and comply with regulatory requirements while also reducing operating expenses. High productivity involves the efficient and optimal use of resources to achieve maximum output within a given period. For instance, in July 2024, Hillyard, Inc., a US-based manufacturer and supplier of cleaning and hygiene products, introduced the Sentry Cleaning Equipment. This product line integrates modern technology to enhance cleaning performance, featuring capabilities that optimize the use of water and chemicals.

In June 2025, TORM A/S, a Denmark-based provider of product tankers and maritime shipping services, completed the acquisition of ME Production for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to reinforce TORM's environmental and decarbonization initiatives by incorporating ME Production's specialized expertise in marine exhaust gas cleaning and green maritime technologies, ultimately improving operational sustainability and providing direct access to advanced scrubber systems. ME Production is a Denmark-based developer and manufacturer of marine engineering solutions, including turnkey exhaust gas cleaning (scrubber) systems, marine gear components, and energy-efficiency technologies.
