The India boilers market import shipment experienced a significant decline with a CAGR of -38.4% from 2020 to 2024. The growth rate plummeted by -90.4% between 2023 and 2024, indicating a rapid contraction in the market. The trend suggests a sharp deceleration and a challenging period for importers in this sector.
India is one of the largest markets for boilers in Asia. The India boilers market size was valued at $622 million in 2025, and is projected to reach $845 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2031. Boilers find application across diverse end-use industries including power generation, food processing industry, paper & pulp industry and chemical & petrochemical industry among others. For instance, according to Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP), total installed capacity for electricity generated from thermal sources stood at 196 GW in FY19 with majority contribution coming from coal-based power plants where boiler forms an integral part of the system.
The primary drivers for growth in demand for boilers include growing demand for energy efficient systems coupled with increasing investments towards modernization & expansion activities across manufacturing facilities especially within food processing sector due to continuously changing consumption pattern and rising disposable income among consumers throughout the country. Moreover, rapid industrialization accompanied by increased government initiatives such as Make In India program are further expected spur up development projects which will eventually lead to augmentation in installation base of boilers over the forecast period.
On contrary some major challenges faced by boiler manufacturers include stringent regulatory compliances associated with emission control norms imposed by local authorities on emissions generated during operation which results into higher capital costs involved while installing these units thereby causing hindrance towards its adoption rate amongst small scale players operating through out region who operate on limited budget constraints.. Additionally , availability issues related with raw materials such as steel used during production process might also result into frequent price fluctuation thus making it difficult for manufacturer?s planning their long term strategies efficiently .
Over past few years there has been considerable shift witnessed towards adoption renewable sources such as solar PV and wind resources as compared conventional energy sources such as coal or natural gas based systems resulting into slow down effect observed within local boiler market place . However despite this fact most large scale enterprises still prefer usage of traditional fuel types instead opting more expensive yet cleaner options owing mainly cost benefits associated with former ones along better efficiency delivered by them .
Some key players operating within India Boiler Market includes Thermax Ltd., Forbes Marshall Pvt Ltd , IBL Industrial Solutions ltd , ABB India limited , Cleaver Brooks Inc., Alfa Laval inc etc..
