An air preheater is a device used for heating air to increase the thermal efficiency of the process. The main use of air preheater is to recover heat from flue gas and reduce excessive heat loss through flue gas. It also helps to control the temperature of flue gas. This device is found in the path of flue gases between the chimney and economizer.
Air preheaters are preferred when the temperature of flue gas is very high. Some developing countries are seeing growth in power generation from coal due to increasing demand for energy in the past few years. Manufacturers are investing more in South Africa and the Asia Pacific region due to growing opportunities in emerging countries in these regions. These are major drivers expected to fuel the global air preheaters market. However, coal power plants have a huge impact on global warming and also adversely affect the climate goals laid down by the Paris Agreement. Many developed countries are shifting to power generation from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. These factors are expected to hamper the growth of the air preheaters market during the forecast period.
The global air preheaters market is highly competitive. Several international and domestic players are operating in this market.
- In April 2019, Sigma Thermal merged with Flaretec for improvement in heating solutions for industrial applications. Together with Flaretec, company will strengthen product portfolio. Also provide industrial process heating equipment and services on a global scale with enhanced cost-effectiveness, higher efficiency and extended local market support.
- Major players in the air preheaters market are focusing on merger and acquisitions activities to boost market share by increasing their presence in different regions across the world. E.g. the healing group acquired Geurts International to build strong position in market as international supplier.

Growing opportunities in emerging economies in Asia Pacific and South Africa region
South Africa and Asia Pacific are major regions for manufacturers for investing due to growing market in developing economies from these regions. Growing urbanization and industrialization are major region for market growth in these region. Also there is growth in power generation from coal due to increasing demand for energy in the past few years in some developing countries. This factor is expected to influence the market growth positively in coming years.
High impact on global warming and growing preference to renewable energy sources anticipated to obstruct market growth.
Global warming and climate goals are get highly effected by coal power plants. Most of the developed countries are shifting their preference towards renewable energy sources such as solar and wind for power generation to get clean energy and reduce pollution. These factors are estimated to hinder the growth of the air preheaters market during the forecast period.
