Commercial Boiler Market Trends: Embracing Energy Efficiency and Green Initiatives

Commercial boilers are useful in generating hot water and steam for various needs in large commercial buildings including hospitals, hotels, offices and other similar structures. These boilers are known for their high efficiency and reliability in delivering mass volumes of hot water or steam. With rapid urbanization and growing construction of multi-storied commercial buildings worldwide, the demand for commercial boilers is witnessing a substantial increase.

The global commercial boiler Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 15 Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Opportunity:

Rising Infrastructural Developments Across Regions

Countries around the world are investing heavily in large-scale infrastructural projects including building new airports, hospitals, hotels, commercial complexes and expanding cityscapes. This rapid infrastructure growth is notably driven by industrialization and urbanization in emerging economies of Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa. With a multitude of residential as well as commercial spaces under construction, the demand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment including commercial boilers is expected to rise significantly. Steam/hot water generated by commercial boilers find extensive applications across various needs in commercial buildings like space heating, kitchen purpose, laundry, sanitization etc. Therefore, ongoing infrastructure boom across both developed and developing regions provides lucrative market opportunity for commercial boiler manufactures in the coming years.
