The countries examined in the APAC region are China, Japan, India, Australia & New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, South Korea, and Rest of Asia Pacific.
China holds the largest market share, achieving around $1497.90 million in 2024.
The industrial furnaces market in China is supported by its dominant manufacturing sector and robust steel production. Along with this, the government’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2060 has accelerated the adoption of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly industrial furnace technologies.
Hence, key sectors such as steel, cement, and glass manufacturing are investing heavily in modernizing their facilities with cutting-edge furnace systems to reduce emissions and improve energy utilization.
Additionally, China’s leadership in the global manufacturing value chain, supported by favorable policies like tax incentives and subsidies for industrial modernization, ensures sustained growth in the industrial furnace market.
Industrial Furnace Market Forecast for India
India is solidifying its position as a pivotal market for industrial furnaces, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and significant growth in steel production and demand. Between 2021 and 2023, India’s steel production surged by 15.4 million tonnes (Mt), reaching 140.8 Mt in 2023. This highlights the critical role of industrial furnaces in supporting the nation’s expanding infrastructure and manufacturing sectors.
In fact, the country’s manufacturing sector continues to benefit from initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and the National Steel Policy, which aim to boost steel production capacity to 300 Mt by 2030. Such government initiatives, coupled with large-scale infrastructure projects, including highways, railways, and smart cities, are driving demand for advanced furnace technologies in the country.
The studied market is categorized into furnace type, arrangement, mode of operation, and industry application. In the mode of operation segment, batch-type furnaces are gaining traction due to their suitability for processing small and diverse product batches. This flexibility makes batch furnaces ideal for applications in ceramics and glass production. Rapid industrialization and significant investments in infrastructure and manufacturing further drive the demand for batch-type furnaces in this region.
