The scrubber system market was valued at US$ 1,316.0 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 2,989.2 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2021 to 2028.
Major manufacturing industries such as cement, glass, chemical and petrochemical, food and agriculture, and pharmaceuticals are known for harmful gas emissions. Hence, the stringent environmental regulations imposed on these industries are driving the market. For instance, the cement industry is one of the major polluting industries as it releases nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) particulate during production. Additionally, rising international trades through sea routes and increasing leisure activities are propelling the growth of the scrubber system market. The rise in global seaborne business can be attributed to its economical transportation cost and continually rising global demand for goods and petroleum products. Furthermore, the increasing participation in leisure activities such as cruise vacations and international voyages is boosting the use of marine ships and subsequently fueling the growth of the scrubber system market.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Scrubber System Market
The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has witnessed a significant negative impact of COVID-19 in their demand for the scrubber systems industry in the wake of the global pandemic. In August 2020, Yara Marine Technologies—one of the leading players for marine scrubbers—has diverted its focus from the market due to COVID-19 and low oil prices. The company's innovation manager stated that they had high hopes in 2020 for scrubber systems, but COVID-19 changed it all. However, the market has witnessed a rise in demand from the third quarter as several governments have introduced stringent regulations to maintain clean air. Air scrubber systems play a vital role in removing hazardous particles from exhaust, supporting the market to regain its momentum.
