Electrostatic Precipitator Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Type (Dry, Wet), By Design (Plate, Tubular), By End-User (Pulp and paper mills, Chemical Industry, Cement Kiln & Steel Plant, Thermal Power Plant, Petroleum Industry, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The massive industrialization and economic development has taken air pollution at a critical stage and need immediate attention to mitigate the rising carbon and GHG emission. To arrest the such a colossal amount of particulate matter from dusk and smoke an efficient an effective system is needed. Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is one of the most reliable and advanced technologies widely used for the collection of particulate matter.

ESP is a particulate matter collection device that removes the carbon flakes and particulate matter from flow gaseous stream using force of induced electrostatic charge. The electrostatic force is used to move the particles out of the flowing gas stream and onto collector plates.

Once the particles are collected on the plates they are removed by knocking the plate allowing it to slide down into the hopper. It can be operated at very high temperature and pressure. Thus its often employed where high efficiency is required with minimum power consumption.

Electrostatic precipitator market is segmented into type and application. Based on type, the market is segmented as dry and wet precipitator. Based on the design, the electrostatic precipitator market is bifurcated as plate and tubular precipitator. Plate precipitator is widely used in different industries including coal-fired boilers, cement kilns, petroleum refining catalytic cracking units and so on.

Plate precipitator allows many flow lanes to operate in parallel which expands its application area. Petroleum industry and thermal power plant are emitting a large amount of particulate matter and carbon flakes. Due to stringent environmental regulation, it is necessary to install the effective air pollution control system.

The extensive use of fossil fuel for the generation of electricity and expansion of industries around the world has dramatically hampered the air quality. Furthermore, the strict environmental regulation by international environment protection body to protect the environment. Industrial leaders are taking serious note to arrest the particulate matter and carbon emission which expected to increase the growth of the electrostatic precipitators market.

ESP requires a high capital investment which makes it prohibitive for small scale industries and it is quite challenging to change the capacity or move it to a different location once installed which hampers the growth of the electrostatic precipitators.

Key Players Covered

The key companies in the electrostatic precipitator manufacturing are GE, Alstom, Siemens, Babcock & Wilcox, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd., Amec Foster Wheeler, Thermax Limited, Ducon, Lonjing Environment Technology, Hamon Corporation, Trion IAQ / Envirco, IONFILTRA, Enviropol Engineers Pvt.Ltd., and BHEL.

SEGMENTATION

Regional Analysis

The electrostatic precipitators market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America is expected to add significant value in the market share of the electrostatic precipitator (ESP). The rise in exploration and production of crude oil, manufacturing industries, processing industries which are investing in controlling air pollution by installing high-end technology such as ESP which helps to arrest pollutant. This will help to grow the ESP demand in North America. Environmental rules and regulation in Europe are stringent to protect the environment. Different manufacturing industries and processing industries are deploying the ESP system to arrest the fine particulate matter such as dust and smoke from the air stream which expected to increase the growth of the ESP market in Europe. The air pollution in the Asia Pacific is at the highest peak level due to excessive emission by coal power plants and different industries. China and India are vastly using coal to produce steam to generate electricity where carbon flakes and particulate matters released into the atmosphere which causes air pollution. Thus to arrest the particulate matter and carbon emission, government agency and private entities are adopting advance technology which accelerates the growth of the ESP in the Asia Pacific. The vast presence of oil and gas industries in MEA where a large amount of untreated gas released into atmosphere causing severe threats to air quality. The oil and gas companies are taking severe note on this to arrest the air pollution by implying air pollution control system which expected to increase the demand for the ESP in MEA.

Key Industry Developments
