Scrubber System Market Size (2023-2028):

The Global Scrubber System Market was valued at US$ 4.87 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach US$ 6.87 billion by 2028, and is projected with a CAGR of 6.14% during 2023 - 2028.

Market Overview:

The rise in the Scrubber System market revenue is primarily due to more strict environmental rules aimed at reducing air pollution. In the coming years, the global scrubber system market is expected to increase at a steady pace. These are a collection of air pollution control devices that remove a small number of particles and gases from exhaust streams. To clean acidic gases, they inject a slurry or a dry reagent into a dirty exhaust stream. Scrubbers are one of the most used devices for reducing gas emissions, particularly acidic gases. They're also utilized in LED operations, photovoltaic (PV), and solar to recover heat from hot gases via flue-gas condensation and high flows. In addition, sulfur dioxide emissions into the atmosphere must be reduced as a result of rapid industrialization around the world. Therefore, controlling sulfur dioxide emissions is projected to become increasingly important as emission standards become stricter in the future. A scrubber system is termed a collection of air pollution control devices that are helpful in removing particulate matter and hazardous components from industrial exhaust streams, including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and Sulphur oxides (SOx).

When Sulphur oxides are released into the environment, they can dissolve in the water in the air and cause acid rain. Therefore, Scrubber systems are expected to see strong demand in the near future as a way to reduce acid rain, which is extremely harmful to the environment.

Market Drivers and Restraints:

Developed economies worldwide are enacting more severe policies to monitor the various components of air, which is projected to fuel global scrubber system market expansion. Enterprise initiatives to adopt scrubber systems to reduce labour expenses and time spent on clean-up processes might also auger well for product demand. They increase revenue by reducing the time and labour necessary to clean exhaust systems. Scrubber systems can safely handle flammable and explosive particles. These are small and easy to integrate into existing collection systems. Scrubber systems are likely to be in high demand for various applications, including wet scrubbing, dry scrubbing, mercury removal, and absorber-in-scrubber waste.

Throughout the forecast period, the growing demand for scrubber systems from the petrochemical industry is expected to open up infinite opportunities for the worldwide scrubber systems market. Scrubber systems are divided into two categories: dry and wet. A wet system is used to remove contaminants and particles from fuel gas, air, and other gases. The scrubbing solution comes into touch with particle debris or target substances. Water or reagents that precisely target certain chemicals can be used to make solutions. These are further regarded as the most effective air pollution management devices for both gas and particle collection. Venturi-packed beds and spray scrubbers are the three types of wet scrubbers. In addition, the scrubber system market is likely to be driven by rising demand from the maritime industry to comply with new gas emission laws.

On the other hand, Scrubber systems are prone to corrosion and produce slurry waste streams that are difficult to recycle and dispose of. Furthermore, during the forecast period, strict laws regarding the disposal of contaminated effluents from scrubber systems likely hamper the global scrubber system market.

Market Recent Developments:

  • DuPont introduced BELO wet scrubbing technology, which can reduce emissions from critical processes. Moreover, it also helps in controlling refinery flue gas emissions from heaters and boilers.
  • According to the company, Alfa Laval's new PureSOx Express open-loop scrubber is designed to accommodate smaller vessels simply and cost-effectively. However, according to the business, the expense of adding scrubbers for Sox compliance on smaller boats, such as handymax bulkers or product tankers, occasionally outweighed the benefits.

Market Segmentation: 

Scrubber System Market - By Type:

  • Wet scrubber system
  • Dry scrubber system

The scrubber system market was driven by the wet scrubber category, which is expected to continue to dominate towards the foreseen period. Wet scrubbers comprise various advantages. Moreover, these have the ability to act as effective air pollution control devices, which helps in removing both particles and gases from industrial exhaust streams. Also, wet scrubbers are considered an air pollution management technology that helps to collect both particulates and gas in a single system.

On the other hand, the dry scrubber system is anticipated to hold the significant scrubber system market CAGR in the upcoming years. Sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and other acidic gases are removed via a dry scrubber system, which is a form of gas absorption equipment. Dry scrubbing is the process of spraying or atomizing water into the raw flue gas to produce an aerosol that reacts with dangerous compounds in the air. The scrub is the term for the mixture that emerges from the chimney after passing through fans, filters, mist eliminators, and baghouses before being released into the atmosphere. In addition, a dry absorber can be used to remove acid vapors or corrosive dust from specific sources where wet systems aren't possible due to process circumstances like high temperature (>200 degrees Celsius), high humidity, or corrosiveness.

Scrubber System Market - By Application:

  • Oil & Gas
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Petrochemicals & Chemicals
  • Marine
  • Others

During the anticipated period, the maritime industry is expected to have the biggest scrubber system market share. As a result, scrubbers have been installed in various boats worldwide, including roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO), ferries, cruise ships, container ships, and huge crude carriers (VLCCs) that release a lot of SOx. Scrubber systems enable ship owners to continue burning less expensive high-sulfur fuel while ensuring MARPOL compliance with emissions. 

Moreover, oil & gas tends to hold the steady scrubber systems market CAGR during 2022 - 2027. Scrubber technology is used to remove pollutants and greenhouse gases from many forms of emissions created during energy production, such as carbon dioxide (CO) and sulfur oxides (SOx). Various power facilities have carbon capture technology installed to limit CO emissions by absorbing them before releasing them. To achieve this purpose, these facilities use various methods, including post-combustion scrubbing, pre-combustion gasification, oxyfuel combustion, and flue gas desulfurization. 

Market Regional Analysis: 

The Global Scrubber System Market Report includes the segmentation of Regions:

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific
  • Latin America
  • Middle East & Africa

North America is expected to have the largest share of the global scrubber systems market during the projected period. Scrubber systems are in high demand in North America due to rising demand from the pharmaceutical industry in the region.

Due to rapid economic development, increased infrastructural activities, growth of the automotive sector, and high per capita income levels in countries such as China and Japan, the Asia Pacific region are expected to be the fastest-growing regional segment in the scrubber systems market, increasing the number of factories, which leads to increased production and higher emissions.

The Europe region is expected to be the second-largest revenue producer, with significant growth due to strengthening environmental laws and increased oil and gas industry demand.

Impact of COVID-19 on Scrubber System Market:

COVID-19's quick outbreak has had a substantial detrimental influence on the scrubber systems industry. The scrubber market's five-year expansion run came to an end due to lower oil prices and COVID-19. However, global demand for marine scrubbers is rising, with a market size of USD 6950 million expected by 2025. Moreover, ship owners considered using scrubbers in order to meet IMO sulfur emission rules due to the increasing cost of low-sulfur fuel oil. Scrubber manufacturers and suppliers will receive additional orders as a result.
