Cooling Tower Market

Global Cooling Tower Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Wet, Dry, and Hybrid), by Systems (Open Cooling System and Closed Cooling System), by Flow (Cross Flow and Counter Flow), and by Application (Power Generation, HVAC, Oil & Gas, and Others), Forecast 2021-2027

Published: Jan 2022 | Report Code: OMR2025570 | Category : Renewable Energy | Delivery Format: /

The global cooling tower market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period (2021-2027). One of the major drivers of the cooling tower market is the surge in the application of cooling towers. Many industries have started to introduce cooling towers in their infrastructure which has supplemented the growth of the market. Water cooling towers have started to become a more energy efficient substitute for other air-cooling methods such as air-conditioning, as they require low energy consumption and companies are continuing to use cooling towers because they oppose the heat transfer in the air. 

The design of the cooling tower is built for cooling the circulation water during the manufacturing process, which is why the demand for cooling towers is growing in industries such as food processing plants, petroleum refiners, and natural gas plants. Cooling towers have tremendously benefited the industries with heavy machinery by minimizing the over-heating of their heavy equipment and manufacturing machinery. This also reduces the servicing and the breaks that must be taken due to over-heating to provide break-free output.

Despite the driving forces of the cooling tower market, it faces several challenges and issues related to the scaling of a large project and corrosion of cooling water pipes. Cooling towers have to deal with the issue of corrosion, as after the installation, unchecked water runs through the pipes of the cooling tower causing corrosion in the metal pipes which leads to leakage. The water supply contains impurities like sodium, other elements, and chemicals that react with the air causing corrosion. Thus, such factors could hamper the growth of the market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Cooling Tower Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had major repercussions for most industries including the cooling tower industry. The sudden lockdown imposed by many governments across the globe created many disturbances across the industry. However, the major impact of the lockdown was the lack of labor, which is essential for installing, running, and maintenances of the cooling towers. The COVID-19 pandemic also affected the manufactures as the ban on international trade and local restrictions disrupted the supply chain of many companies. The cooling tower market is expected to make a ‘W’ shaped recovery due to the ongoing lockdowns and restrictions affecting the trade.   

Segmental Outlook 

The global cooling tower market is segmented based on type, systems, flow, and application. Based on the product type, the market is classified as wet, dry, and hybrid. Based on the systems, the market is augmented as open-circuit and closed-circuit. Based on the flow, the cooling tower market has been segmented into cross flow and counter flow. Further, based on the application, the market has been segmented as power generation, HVAC, oil & gas, and others. The other application includes die casting and anodizing. Among these, the HVAC application segment is anticipated to hold prominent market share among others, due to the rise in utilization of cooling towers across the HVAC industries. The above-mentioned segments can be customized as per the requirements.

The Hybrid Segment is Expected to Drive the Growth of the Global Cooling Tower Market

Among the segments, the hybrid segment is expected to hold the prominent market share of the cooling tower market during the forecast period. The segmental growth is contributed due to the increasing demand for hybrid cooling solutions across the globe. Hybrid cooling tower offers various advantages which includes good mix of wet and dry cooling along with the preferred environmental effect & compliance of the environmental restrictions. Further, hybrid systems minimize the production of steam drift in colder urban areas, which is beneficial in industrial areas, urban cities, and roads near buildings that are prone to icing. 

Regional Outlooks

The global cooling tower market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow considerably among the colling tower market over the forecast period, owing to the rise in establishment of several manufacturing facilities across the major economies including India and China.  The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement.

The North America Region is Anticipated to Hold the Significant Share of the Cooling Tower Market Globally

North America is expected to dominate the cooling tower market across the globe during the forecast period (2021-2027). Most of the regional shares of the market is held by the US, due to the presence of enormous power plants and heavy industries across the country. Additionally, post COVID-19 pandemic, the key manufacturing firm are adopting various strategic initiatives such as partnerships and collaboration catering to bolster the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2020, a partnership between Mid-West Manufacturing Alliance and Kentucky Association of Manufacturers. This alliance agreed on re-opening their economies to deal with the economic downturn of the COVID-19 pandemic. This agreement included cities like Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Kentucky, which created opportunities for the market.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global cooling tower market include SPX Corp., Baltimore Aircoil Co., EVAPCO, Inc., S.A. HAMON, Paharpur Cooling Towers Ltd., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in 2018, Brentwood Industries launched two new products named Shockwave and Thermacross.. The products launched offers benefits such as cross-fluted high efficiency fills, refineries, and power plants.
