The market for electric process heat-electric boilers and heat pumps in particular-is beginning to find significant growth as world governments turn increased attention toward decarbonization efforts. Process heat for low grade processes (below 200°C) represents a substantial portion of the energy need for many industrial sectors-chiefly food and beverage, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paper, and wood products. However, structural barriers still exist related to input fuel costs and electricity infrastructure constraints.
The largest driver of the electric process heat market today is government incentives and regulations for industrial decarbonization. Other drivers include insulation from input fuel price volatility in certain regions, better operational safety, and better operational efficiencies. Barriers to adoption vary significantly by region, but the most striking is the cost for comparable amounts of input fuel across sources. In some regions, fueling a boiler with natural gas can be significantly cheaper than with electricity.
This Guidehouse Insights report examines the global market for electric process heat technologies used in industrial and commercial facilities. The report analyzes current market issues, technology trends, drivers, barriers, and the policy landscape. Market forecasts are presented for revenue and unit sales through 2033 and are segmented by technology (electric boilers, heat pumps), value chain position (hardware, services), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa).
