Electrostatic Precipitator Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Wet and Dry), Verticial (Hardware & Software and Services), Design (Plate and Tubular), End Users and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electrostatic Precipitator Market is accounted for $15.16 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $22.56 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. An electrostatic precipitator is a device for collecting particulate matter that uses the force of an electrostatic charge to remove carbon flakes and other particles from a gaseous flow. The particles are transferred from the flowing gas stream to the collector plates using electrostatic force. In addition to increasing collection efficiencies, these filters can manage substantial gas and dust loads.
According to an article published by the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC), the level of fine particulate matter in the air increased by 38% in India and China between 1960 and 2009.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing health awareness in urban regions
Growing health consciousness, particularly in urban areas, is a major factor anticipated to fuel market expansion. Further expected growth drivers for the target market in the near future include tightening government regulations aimed at reducing air pollution levels. Additionally, already-built power plants are outfitted with NOx catalytic control systems, which raise SO3 concentration levels. Over the forecast period, rising concerns about SO3 reduction are anticipated to fuel market expansion.
Restraint:
High capital costs
Small-scale industries find it challenging to buy ESP systems due to the high initial capital investment needed. These precipitators are constructed from expensive, high-alloy stainless steel. Because of this, the cost of their installation and purchase is preventing the market from expanding.
Opportunity:
Rising environmental concerns
Increasing industrialization in both developing and developed economies, as well as the imposition of strict government regulations to control the emission of hazardous gases, are all factors driving the industry forward. Additionally, a rise in demand for coal- and gas-fired power plants is likely to be advantageous for the market.
Threat:
Inflexibility in operations
ESP systems also don't provide operational flexibility. This is due to the fact that it is challenging to relocate or change the ESP system's capacity once it has been installed. Therefore, before installing these systems, careful planning regarding capacity, type, and location is required. Additionally, because of the volatility of crude oil prices, geopolitical concerns, and high investment risks, many power plants are shifting their energy production toward using renewable sources. During the anticipated period, these factors are likely to limit the market for electrostatic precipitators.
Covid-19 Impact
Global industry verticals, including manufacturing, have reported being negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers in the United States and abroad were advised to stay at home, especially during the pandemic's early stages, to help prevent the spread of the deadly virus. The installation of ESPs throughout the manufacturing and other end-use industries may have been hampered by these factors. However, industrial production has been returning to pre-pandemic levels since the second half of 2021, providing support for business growth in the near future.
The power generation segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
During the forecast period, the power generation segment is anticipated to generate the most revenue and hold the largest market share. The growth of power plants, where electrostatic precipitators are frequently used to reduce particulate matter from the exhaust gases of furnaces and boilers, has been accelerated by both the growing population and the rising per capita consumption of electricity. For instance, the India Brands Equity Foundation reported that by 2022, the country's power consumption is predicted to reach 1,897.4 terawatt-hours (TWh). This could stimulate the market for electrostatic precipitators in the power generation industry to expand.
The dry segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
It is anticipated that the dry electrostatic precipitator market will grow profitably, because of their ability to withstand high temperatures and large amounts of particulate matter, dry electrostatic precipitators are preferred by a large number of businesses. Additionally, compared to a wet electrostatic precipitator, the effectiveness is also greater.
Region with largest share:
Due to its rapid industrialization and improved economic performance in developing nations like India, Bangladesh, and China, Asia-Pacific currently holds the largest market share for electrostatic precipitators worldwide. The government has mandated the installation of electrostatic precipitators in a maximum number of industries in order to combat the excessive air pollution in the nation. Therefore, government agencies and private organizations are implementing cutting-edge technology, which accelerates the electrostatic precipitator's growth in the Asia Pacific.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is anticipated to significantly increase the electrostatic precipitator market share. The increase in crude oil exploration and production, as well as manufacturing and processing businesses that are investing in reducing air pollution by installing cutting-edge equipment like electrostatic precipitators that help to stop pollution, will increase the demand for electrostatic precipitators in North America.

Key Developments:
In March 2023, New ORC module converts low-temperature waste heat into green electricity. Dürr adds Cyplan® ORC 70 NT to ORC portfolio. The new Cyplan® ORC 70 NT now enables this in the lower-temperature segment, which is typical for hot-water networks, geothermal heat sources, and many industrial processes. The low-temperature system has a maximum possible gross output of 70 kWe.
In August 2023, GE Vernova’s Digital business announced it has acquired Greenbird Integration Technology AS, a data integration platform company focused on utilities. This acquisition highlights GE Vernova’s commitment to investing in technologies and talent that help accelerate the sustainable energy grid. The platform will accelerate GridOS®, the world’s first software portfolio designed specifically for grid orchestration, adding new capabilities for connecting systems and integrating data across the grid more easily and at scale. The financial terms of the acquisition are not being disclosed.
