Global Combined Heat Power Market Expected to Reach $48.4 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Global Combined Heat Power Market," The global combined heat power market size was valued at $24.6 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $48.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2031.

The growing usage of natural gas for power production as well as the increasing need for energy efficiency in industries are the primary drivers of the worldwide combined heat power market growth.The combined heat power market has great opportunities due to the phenomenal economic growth occurring globally. Energy is essential for establishing and sustaining economies. IT parks, colleges, hospitals, airports, shopping centers, and other commercial buildings have combined heat power units installed to cost-effectively produce electricity and power needed to be independent energy producers. In addition, the demand for combined heat power is anticipated to rise due to the expansion of commercial sectors that drives the economies' inflation. 

The implementation of a combined heat power project requires significant financial investment that is unaffordable without government funding or help, which could restrict the development of the combined heat power market. Customers are hesitant to move away from their current alternatives as a result of the cost differences between different prime mover technologies. Prime mover technology that runs on the several fuels such as diesel, natural gas, and hydrogen, may also restrain the market. 

The most frequently used fuel in combined heat power innovation is flammable gas. Its cost is expected to rise in comparison to other options due to its exceptional proficiency. Governments throughout the world are attempting to boost the percentage of cleaner energies in their electricity sector, which is expected to probably increase demand for petroleum gas. In addition, strict administrative rules and fossil fuel targets are expected to  embrace greener energies, such as petroleum gas, increasing the entire industry's use of flammable gas as a fuel this factors is anticipited to boost the combined heat power market opportunities during the upcoming year. 

The combined heat power market share is segmented on the basis of fuel type, capacity, technology, application, and region. By fuel type, the market is divided into natural gas, coal, biomass, and others. By capacity, the market is classified into up to 10 MW, 10-150 MW, 151-300 MW, and above 300 MW.
