Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) Boiler Market by Product (Subcritical, Supercritical, Ultra-supercritical), Capacity (Less than 100 MW, 100-200 MW, 200-300 MW, 300 MW and Above), Fuel Type (Coal, Biomass, and Others), Application (Energy and Power, Industrial, and Others), and Region 2024-2032

The global circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler market size reached US$ 770 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1,150 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.45% during 2024-2032. The escalating demand for large-scale energy generation across the globe, favorable government initiatives promoting the production and usage of clean energy, and considerable growth in the oil and gas industry represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers refer to industrial boilers which are designed to provide high gas velocity in the furnace and provide maximum flexibility in burning fuels of varying flammability. They are capable of combusting different fuel compounds such as bituminous coal, brown coal, sludge, RPF (refuse paper and plastic fuel), waste tires, wood biomass, anthracite, and petroleum coke. In addition to this, these boilers offer higher combustion efficiency than conventional bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boilers. CFB reactors address the heat removal issues that affect a fixed bed reactor and are used for coal combustion to achieve low emission standards. Circulating fluidized bed boilers are therefore an environmentally friendly alternative to coal-fired boilers as they aid in reducing carbon emissions. As a result, CFB boilers are primarily used for power generation, which effectively reduces carbon emissions. In addition to this, they provide fuel flexibility by effectively using low-grade coal and other industrial waste products to generate power.

Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) Boiler Market Trends:
The escalating demand for large-scale energy generation across the globe is a significant factor that is driving the market. This can be attributed to a considerable rise in investments for the upgradation of industrial facilities, particularly in the developing economies. In line with this, favorable government initiatives promoting the production and usage of clean energy are providing an impetus to the market. Also, the augmenting need for reduced NOx (oxides of nitrogen) and COx (oxides of carbon) emissions on the global level is resulting in a higher uptake of CFB boilers across numerous end-use industries. However, the high maintenance cost of CFB boilers, lower possibility of casting materials and the depletion of fossil fuels are acting as major growth-restraining factors for the market. On the contrary, the usage of lower amount of fuel as compared to the higher amount of high temperature materials present inside CFB boiler chambers is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the market is further fueled by considerable growth in the oil and gas industry. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization and industrialization, proliferation of the manufacturing industry, rising environmental concerns, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by the key players.
