As per Triton’s research report, the global market for flue gas desulphurization is anticipated to progress with a CAGR of 4.93% over the forecasting years 2023-2030.

Flue gas desulfurization is a process to extract sulfur dioxide from the fossil fuel emissions of power plants. It has multiple applications across the coal, chemical, iron, and steel industries. 

In order to curb the hazardous effects of sulfur dioxide on the environment and human health, industries are focused on reducing the sulfur content from emissions by adopting flue gas desulfurization systems. Additionally, the strict emission norms by the regulatory authorities to maintain clean air, improve air quality, and reduce degradation have the potential to drive demand for FGD systems. Industries also have an alternative to adopt tailored FGD solutions to cater to their specific needs.

However, slowdown in industrial activities, a reduction in industrial operations, a decline in investments, and slow production are some impacts during economic slowdown. Along with this, an inclination towards renewable energy hinders the growth of flue gas desulfurization market.

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the flue gas desulfurization market. Surrounded by developing countries, this region has tremendous scope to expand its industrial landscape to cater to economic needs. An increasing number of industries pose a threat to the environment. In this regard, installing FGD systems will become a top priority for the new industries. Thus, it will create a huge demand for the studied market in the coming years. However, the rise of renewable energy has a significant scope to challenge the market as countries slowly move towards achieving a green economy.  

The major competitive companies in the flue gas desulfurization market are Babcock & Amp, Chiyoda Corporation Doosan Lentjes GmbH, Fujian Longking Co Ltd, Andritz AG, Hamon Group, Thermax Ltd, Rafako SA, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Ltd, Harsulex Environmental Technologies, Flsmidth AS, John Wood Group Plc, Ducon Technologies Inc, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd, Willcox Enterprises Inc, and Ducon Technologies Inc.

The technical complexity and lack of specialized knowledge to design and manufacture FGD systems are potential barriers to the new market players. Companies are encouraged to go for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) using other alternatives to mitigate sulfur dioxide emissions, which pose a significant threat to the FGD market. Technological advancements and new solutions prompt companies to have a competitive edge and stay ahead in terms of environmental compliance.
