INDUSTRIAL BURNER MARKET ANALYSIS

Industrial burners releases heat and specific flame which can be controlled in combustion chamber and used for various industrial operations such as heating, melting, steam production, manufacturing, and other operations. Industrial burners are used for various applications which include boilers, furnace/ovens/kiln, air heating/ drying, heating liquid, welding, recycling, glass blowing, and others. The increasing adoption of industrial burners in the metal industry is expected to drive the global industrial burner market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the growing safety concerns about industrial processes and setting up of global industrial safety standard adoption protocols have subsequently resulted in surging acceptance of burner management systems.

The global industrial burner market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period (2021–2028). The increasing demand for industrial gas burners in many industries such as power generation, pharmaceutical, automotive, oil & gas, glass, and aerospace is expected to drive the global industrial burner market growth during the forecast period (2021-2028).  For instance, in March 2019, Air Products Inc., a U.S.-based chemical industry company launched an oxy-fuel burner for the glass industry. The new cleanfire HRx burner is highly fuel efficient and produced 40% lower NOx as compared to the traditional burner. There are many benefits of industrial burners such as low noise, longevity, less pollution, and safety in operations. Industrial burners are subjected to different temperature ranges associated with the nature of production processes. These parameters are important for the manufacturing standard for many industries. For instance, in October 2017, Honeywell launched a burner system, in order to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions for industrial and commercial boilers. Furthermore, the implementation of stringent regulatory policies for industrial gas burners is expected to increase the production of highly efficient industrial burners equipped with monitoring system. For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors the air emission standards of the industrial burners, their operation conditions, and associated constituents by means of regulations such as the Area Source Rule and Major Source Rule published on March 21, 2011. 

Global Industrial Burner Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

COVID-19 has significantly disrupted almost all the industries including infrastructure, transportation, oil and gas, manufacturing, and others. To combat COVID-19 pandemic, most of the countries implemented lockdown and are now easing it phase-wise and industry wise. This has significantly impacted manufacturing sector, as the facilities across the globe were temporarily shut down. Owing to the spread of COVID-19, industrial burner manufacturers who were stocked up on hardware components (such as burner controller unit) experienced a difficult time to clear their current inventory due to low demand, globally. Thus, many of the industrial burner manufacturers decreased their production. As manufacturing and distribution of goods have started at sub-optimal level across countries, manufacturing companies are gaining momentum. However, companies are operating with limited workforce with minimum risk and exposure of workers to coronavirus.

North America held dominant position in the global industrial burner market during the forecast period

Statistics:

North America held dominant position in the global industrial burner market in 2020, accounting for 32.4% share in terms of value, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa.

North America is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, owing to the growing industrial burner demand due to continuous industrialization in North America is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, presence of major key players across North America regions focusing on developing new products with new features and technologies to gain competitive edge in the market is expected to drive the market growth.

For instance, in November 2016, Selas Heat Technology Company, a U.S.-based company that manufactures industrial gas burners and combustion systems launched Selas SuperFlameTM Low NOx Burner, which is specially designed for process temperature up to 2,500°F.  This burner can be used for several applications such as rotary forge furnaces, non-ferrous melting furnaces, annealing furnaces, and sintering furnaces, among others.

Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit highest growth during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for industrial burners in Asia Pacific region is expected to drive the regional market growth during the forecast period. Major players such as Tesla Inc. and many others are setting up their manufacturing units in India and China, owing to the benefits of lower cost of land and less expense on labour along with the affordability of the raw materials, which is expected to drive the market growth.

Monoblock segment is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period

Among automation, the monoblock segment is expected to hold dominant position in the global industrial burner market during the forecast period. The monoblock burner is a type of mechanical and electrical integration equipment with a high degree of automation. The burner is divided into five system such as ignition system, air supply system, monitoring system, fuel system, and electronic control systems. This type of burner is specially designed to minimize environment impact due to combustion head design that reduces Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) to below 120mg/kWh.

The increasing demand from boiler application is expected to drive the segment growth during the forecast period. For instance, in May 2018, ELCO Heting Solutions, a U.K.-based company which manufactures boilers for heating and industrial applications, launched low NOx monoblock burners with outputs from 12kW to 100kW. This burner consists kerosene, gasoil, bio oil blends, and is suitable for high efficiency domestic oil boilers
