The global Circulating Dry Scrubbers (CDS) market size is predicted to grow from US$ million in 2025 to US$ million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of %from 2025 to 2031.
The circulating dry scrubber (CDS) technology is ideal for small footprints and big expectations for SO2 removal. CDS technology is designed for smaller units and installations with limited space or which have site-specific needs and fire medium- to high-sulfur coals.
The increasing demand for clean energy and environmental protection in various regions, especially in Asia-Pacific and Europe. CDS can help coal-fired power plants and other industrial facilities comply with the stringent emission standards and regulations imposed by governments and international organizations. CDS can also reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and the water footprint of these facilities. The development and innovation of new technologies and materials for CDS. Some of the emerging technologies include circulating fluidized bed (CFB) dry scrubbing, spray dryer absorber (SDA) dry scrubbing, and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) dry scrubbing. These technologies offer advantages such as higher flexibility, reliability, and scalability. Some of the new materials include novel sorbents, additives, and catalysts that can enhance the performance and efficiency of CDS. The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the global CDS industry. The pandemic has caused disruptions in the supply chain, production, and consumption of CDS products and services. The lockdown measures, travel restrictions, and social distancing norms have affected the demand for CDS in various sectors, especially power generation and industrial production. The rising cost of raw materials, labor, and logistics has also affected the profitability of CDS manufacturers and operators. However, the recovery of the global economy and the increasing demand for medical and personal protective equipment made of CDS products will create opportunities for the CDS market in the post-pandemic scenario.
