Boiler Market size was over USD 18.44 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to cross USD 39.82 billion by 2037, growing at more than 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of boiler is estimated at USD 19.34 billion.
The global boiler market is growing exponentially every year due to the rapid growth of industries and factories like chemical, automotive, recycling, etc., which require vast amounts of energy that boilers can provide. Since boilers use less energy than other sources like furnaces to generate heat, they are also a popular option for not just factories but residential heating as well.

Fuel (Fuel and Gas, Biomass, Non-Fossil, Fossil)
Biomass segment in the boiler market is expected to register over 7.7% growth till 2037. This rise comes from strict rules by governments to cut down on emissions and the cost benefits of gas boilers for home heating. The coal segment is likely to stay second to the biomass segment due to the easy access to cheap coal, especially in places with many coal power stations. The market for coal-fired boilers is projected to surge by 11.2% yearly. Key factors pushing growth in the coal area include a higher need for energy, growing industrial activities, and the low cost of coal as a fuel option.
Application (Metals and Mining, Power Generation, Food, Petrochemicals and Other Chemicals)
The power generation sub segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2037. The rising need for power generation due to urbanization and industrialization help this sector lead the market. The market for power plant boilers was worth USD 21.3 billion by the beginning of 2023 and is seen to rise at a CAGR of 5.45% in the coming years. Boilers are key in producing power, by turning water into steam which is one of the most significant sources of energy. This steam is powerful enough to then move turbines to make electricity. There is a mix of boilers being used, like those that run on coal, gas, or biomass, based on what kind of fuel is available and what the power plant needs.
Boiler Type (Hot Water Boilers, Steam Boilers, Gas Boilers)
Steam boilers segment is expected to capture boiler market share of over 42% by 2037. The segment growth can be attributed to their superior efficiency. Supercritical boilers work at higher heat and pressure compared to other types of boilers, leading to better efficiency. Their efficiency rate is around 45-47%. This means they use less fuel and cost less to operate. These boilers, along with others, are key in coal power as well. Looking ahead, it's expected that the subcritical type will still be most common due to more coal power projects, especially in growing countries.

North America Market Statistics
North America region in boiler market is projected to account for around 35% revenue share by 2037. The growth of the market in North America is due to the fast growth in industries, mainly in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. This along with an increasing number of old people living in the area needing care and a shifting focus on green energy usage by all industries help the North American region maintain its dominance in the boiler industry. The market for home boilers in North America was worth USD 4.2 Billion at the start of 2024 and will likely grow at a rate of 2.51% during the time looked at.
The U.S. leads in this market in the area. Here, the market for gas boilers is expected to grow at a rate of 4.8% from 2023 to 2032. In 2023, the market in the U.S. was about 4 Billion.
In Canada, the boiler industry amounted to USD 1.0bn in 2023. The key reason for the boiler market growth in Canada is the profitable value of value of nonresidential construction. Increasing government and private expenditure on building and fixing homes, along with a growing trend for smart homes, are seen to help the market grow in Canada.
European Market Analysis
The European region will also encounter huge growth for the boiler market during the forecast period and will hold the second position to North America. The market in Europe is set to grow by over 7.89% yearly from 2023 to 2032. This growth is mainly due to the need to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. The demand for energy-saving boilers has increased because of the energy crisis and high tensions over carbon emissions in the area. The cut in gas supplies from Russia, due to the energy crisis, has lowered natural gas prices, making energy-saving gas boilers more crucial than ever. Also, increased expenditure on eco-friendly building projects is boosting the market for home boilers. Action by governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and efforts to support eco-friendly living are making the Europe boiler market grow.
The UK's home boiler market is set to grab over 26.5% of Europe's share by 2033. This rise comes from strict policies and rules by the government and a push for more energy-saving options, including support for condensing boilers. Meanwhile, the UK's commercial boiler sector already crossed 1.2 billion in 2023.
In Germany, oil and gas boilers lead the market with record numbers. In the past year, 66.8 percent of all new heating units were oil or gas-powered (5.8 percent oil, 61 percent gas) according to reports. Heat pumps had a 24.1 percent share, with biomass systems at 9.1 percent.
The global boiler market is fueled by competition between leading companies that compete with each other to bring the best and most effective boiler solutions for different requirements. Some companies specialize in a specific type of boiler production or service, whereas others have more diversified boiler types to offer.
