Steam boiler is a type of closed vessel designed and constructed with steel to generate steam by heating water with the help of combustion of various fuels, including oil, coal, gas, and others. It offers various advantages, including low construction cost, less floor area, portable, easy installation, and others. Steam boilers are used in various applications, including generation of power, process industries, heating application in residential & commercial buildings, and others. Rise in demand for electricity across the globe is expected to increase the demand for steam boilers from the power generation industry, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. In addition, rise in oil & gas offshore and onshore exploration activities is further expected to increase the demand for steam boilers in the future. However, high initial cost associated with steam boiler is the key factor expected to hinder the growth of the market during the analyzed timeframe. On the contrary, rapid growth of end-use industries, such as chemical, food processing, pulp & paper, pharmaceutical, and others, by developing and expanding their production bases or expansion of manufacturing facilities is expected to create opportunity for key players in the market in the coming years.
