NOR Flash Memory Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Parallel NOR Flash and Serial NOR Flash), By Application (Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Communication and Others) and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global District Heating Market is accounted for $193.92 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $278.20 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. District heating is an efficient method of transferring heat generated at a centralised location to multiple buildings such as offices, residences, and factories via a network of insulated pipes. The heat is used for a variety of household and commercial heating systems, including water heating and room or floor heating. Geothermal heating, central solar heating, and heat recovery from nuclear power plants are the typical methods used to generate heat. District heating is extremely energy efficient, and its flexibility allows for the substitution of environmentally acceptable alternatives.
According to IEA, Renewables are already being integrated into the district heating generation and made up 8% of energy inputs for district heat production in 2020. The share of renewables and electricity together should quadruple by 2030.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective heating systems
Multiple heat sources can be conveniently used in district heating; for example, natural gas can be used at one central place to meet heating requirements in various houses instead of requiring individual heating systems. Among the different sources, district heating firms may select the one that produces heat for the least amount of money. As a result, district heating solutions provide consumers with affordable and effective heating services, which in turn stimulates the expansion of the aforementioned industry. This improves production and supply efficiency.
Restraint:
High infrastructure cost
The investment required for a heat generation unit varies depending on its kind; for boilers and renewable heat sources, a large investment is necessary, but heat sourced from excess heat from industries and data centres requires a smaller investment. District heating pipe systems are very important and need significant investment since high-quality pipes are required to prevent heat loss. Apart from the costly investment, district heating solution suppliers are hesitant to spend because environmental regulations are constantly changing, which restrains the market's expansion.
Opportunity:
Technological advancements and digitalization
As new buildings require heating systems, advanced infrastructure developments such as smart cities and planned projects create considerable prospects for district heating solution providers. Large heating transfer surfaces and the ability to install modern district heating systems are features of new infrastructure. Synergies in heating networks can also be utilised by advanced district heating systems to boost performance, dependability, and cost effectiveness. Therefore, it is anticipated that technological developments in the district heating industry would significantly increase the potential for solution suppliers.
Threat:
Need for robust transportation equipment
The major components of a district heating system are the equipment for producing and distributing heat. The difficulty for district heating solution suppliers is getting heat from the source to the final users with little to no heat loss. Heat loss will occur if the heat pipes used to transmit the heat are not adequately insulated and durable. District heating loses money and heat when heat is lost through distribution pipes, which is not a cost-effective solution. To limit or prevent heat loss during heat distribution, powerful heat exchangers and smart metres are therefore needed. Hence, the need for robust equipment for carrying heat poses a challenge for the growth of the district heating market.
Covid-19 Impact
The global power sector has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 situation. Several nations have enacted nationwide lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic to stop the spread of the fatal virus, which has disrupted several operations like building, the installation of turbines, new infrastructure development, and other things. Government agencies and private businesses concerned about the development of heating networks were forced to postpone a number of district heating projects as a result of the workforce's inability to complete the work within the required timeframe and the disruptions in supply chains caused by travel bans enacted in various states and countries.
The renewable segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The renewable segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to higher potency and negligible carbon emissions. As public concern for environmental safety grows, power utilities are switching from using fossil fuels to clean energy to boost their capacity for power production. Also, the government has implemented tough rules for emissions and pollutants. As a result, there will be more renewable heat producing systems installed globally.
The Combined Heat & Power (CHP) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The Combined Heat & Power (CHP) segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its high sustainability, high efficiency, and cost-effective nature. CHP systems alter the production of heat for the heating systems as well as power. The rising need for electricity around the world is another element driving this segment's expansion. Additionally, CHP systems reduce costs since they minimise distribution and transmission losses and are more efficient than standard boilers.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the increasing urbanization and rising demand for energy-efficient & cost-effective heating solutions in this region. The business trends will be boosted by a changing trend toward the use of decentralised systems in many commercial and industrial facilities as well as expanding efforts to use DH systems that are energy-efficient. The region will benefit from increased investments in the implementation of sustainable technologies as well as continuous government initiatives to decarbonize the heating sector with renewable integration. The demand for DH systems will also increase as a result of ongoing government initiatives and plans for the urban development process.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, as the region has low-temperature conditions for most of the year. Europe is made up of huge industries and power plants where waste heat is created. This heat is used to meet all heating needs in the area. Due to the inclement weather, waste heat from these facilities is increasingly used for heating as the installation of renewable energy sources grows. This fuels market expansion in Europe over the course of the projection period.
