Expansion of the Renewables Sector Augurs Well for Cooling Towers Market

There has been an increase in the building of new power plants that are powered by many sources, including coal (thermal power plants), natural gas, oil, biofuels, waste, nuclear power, hydropower, geothermal power, solar PV, solar thermal, wind, and wave and tidal energy. Currently, there are roughly 62,500 power plants in operation worldwide. The expansion of the cooling towers market is most likely to be fueled by these changes, which are raising the number of oil rigs in the world and the capital expenditure in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, establishing supportive governmental guidelines for developing renewable energy sources and a movement in customer preference toward sustainable cooling systems would accelerate product uptake. The industry's landscape will be stimulated by rising investments in capacity expansion across the power generation sector and rising electricity consumption. By adding four more cooling towers to its current cooling tower system and optimizing the processes for producing insulin, Novo Nordisk, a multinational pharmaceutical company with headquarters in Kalundborg, Denmark, was able to reduce its annual energy use by around 5 million kWh. These elements will, therefore, likely support the expansion of the global cooling towers market throughout the forecast period.

Cooling Towers Market: COVID-19 Impact

Buildings in both HVAC systems and potable water systems, as well as these towers, were left vacant or empty for an extended period of time during the lockdown, which greatly increased the chance of legionella bacteria developing there. Therefore, it was crucial to complete preventative maintenance on the cooling towers of these buildings to ensure the secure reopening of offices and other structures. In addition, the pandemic caused a large decline in demand in the oil and gas industry. With the sharp decline in oil prices that started in the middle of 2014 and grew, the oil and gas industry has already been impacted in recent years. The industry suffered even another setback in 2020 when COVID-19 emerged. Major refiners were forced to cease operations with the lockdowns, diminishing demand, and the COVID-19 epidemic.

Advent of HVAC Technology, and Proliferating Construction Activity Favour Cooling Towers Market Expansion

The demand for these towers is rising due to the world's rapid infrastructural development. The need for heating, ventilation, cooling, and refrigeration equipment is being fueled by the construction activities in developed and developing countries, which is projected to drive the cooling towers market forward. Therefore, it is anticipated that the construction of ports, airports, and other transportation infrastructure will accelerate market growth. Huge expansion initiatives are going to be implemented at airports. For instance, two international terminal complexes are added to the John F. Kennedy International Airport. By 2025, this project is anticipated to be finished. The increased demand for HVAC systems is driving the market due to the trends outlined above in the building sector.

Increasing Adoption Across Industries to Drive Cooling Towers Market Growth

The cooling towers' integration into many industries is a key element in their expansion. As water-cooled systems, cooling towers have begun to be employed as energy-efficient systems because they consume less energy than air-cooled alternatives. Most businesses have continued to use cooling towers because they prevent heat transfer into the air. As cooling towers are made to cool the circulating water during the production process, they are also utilized in food processing plants, oil refineries, natural gas plants, and other facilities, further pushing the market. Cooling towers have the excellent advantage of preventing overheating in other equipment, lowering operating costs and ensuring that machines have the correct power to operate without interruption.

Scaling and Corrosion-related Concerns Continue to Challenge Rapid Growth of Cooling Towers Market

Despite its benefits and widespread application, scale and corrosion remain issues for it. Corrosion is an issue with cooling towers because after the process is over, unrestrained water flow through a cooling tower corrodes the metal and causes leaks. Air, sodium, and other chemical elements in the water supply combine and react to corrosion. The metal inside the cooling tower is destroyed or lost due to this chemical process. The growing number of industrial facilities is causing environmental problems such as plume, drift, and water pollution, affecting market demand.

Hybrid Cooling to Dominate Cooling Towers Market Market due to Lower Water Consumption

The highest CAGR in the projection period is to be acquired by hybrid cooling. These cooling towers exceed stringent environmental requirements and offer an excellent balance of wet and dry cooling with a positive environmental impact. They enable the reduction of steam drift, or the "steam plume," which is particularly noticeable in cold, rainy weather and during the winter when it might cause icing. Eliminating the steam plume in cities, industrial locations, and adjacent to potentially freezing roadways is very advantageous. The hybrid cooling towers also use less water and deliver a total heat rate according to customer needs. Utilizing the ambient air, this module will lower the cooling water's temperature before entering the wet area. The steam plume is eliminated when hot air from dry cooling is combined with saturated air from the wet section. Energy, petrochemical, chemical, metallurgy, plastic and rubber, paper, and manufacturing industries use hybrid cooling technology. These industries are examined to determine the growth drivers associated with the cooling towers market throughout the forecast period.

With Ease of Maintenance, Cross Flow to Dominate Cooling Towers Market

The forecast period is to be dominated by cross flow tower in cooling tower. In cross-flow towers, the air moves horizontally across the flow of the falling water as the water falls vertically through the fill. Hot water is distributed by this kind of cooling tower perpendicular to the airflow. While the cooling tower fan draws air horizontally across the fill, water flows from the cooling tower's top into the hot water gravity distribution basin and the fill. To service the drive system and check the complete fill assembly, cross-flow towers include an internal access plenum that can be equipped with an internal platform. These towers can also be equipped with an exterior service platform or a ladder with handrails for safe maintenance access to the hot water basin. The cross-flow single-cell cooling tower has a capacity ranging from 70 M3/Hour to 255 M3/Hour. The cross-flow multi-cell cooling tower's capacity can be customized to meet the client's needs.
