The global scrubber system market is projected to reach a market size of USD 1.86 Billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 12.82%, from an estimated USD 1.02 Billion in 2018. This growth can be attributed to the growing stringent environmental regulations to reduce atmospheric emissions.

The report segments the scrubber system market, by type, into wet, and dry scrubber systems. The wet scrubber segment led the scrubber system market in 2017, and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Wet scrubbers are effective air pollution control devices for removing particles as well as gases from industrial exhaust streams. Wet scrubbers are generally the most appropriate air pollution control device for collecting both particulates and gas in a single system. The wet scrubbers segment is further sub-segmented into packed bed scrubber, spray scrubber, and venturi scrubber. The soaring demand for such efficient scrubbers from the shipping industry to abide by new exhaust gas emission regulations is the factor driving the wet scrubber market.

The scrubber system market, by end-user, is segmented into marine, oil & gas, petrochemicals & chemicals, pharmaceuticals, glass, and others. Other end-users include pulp & paper, food & agricultural, wastewater treatment, and mining & metallurgy. Marine industry is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecasted period from 2018 to 2023. Scrubbers have been incorporated in various vessels around the globe such as roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO), ferries, cruise ships, container ships, and very large crude carriers (VLCCs) as these vessels are heavy emitters of SOx. Scrubber systems help ship owners to continue burning less expensive high-sulfur fuel while ensuring emissions are MARPOL compliant.

In this report, the scrubber system market has been analyzed with respect to five regions, namely, Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.

The market in Europe is expected to be the largest in the scrubber system market, from 2018 to 2023. The IMO has set a global limit for sulfur in fuel oil used on board ships of 0.50% m/m (mass by mass) from 1 January 2020, which means that shipping companies are liable to take measures to mitigate sulfur oxide emissions generated by their ships. Additionally, the objective of Europe’s proposed 20-20-20 target is 20% increase in energy efficiency, 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, and 20% of the region’s energy from renewables by 2020. All these factors are expected to drive the scrubber system market in the European region.

Stringent legislations against disposal of contaminated effluents from scrubber systems could act as a restraint for the scrubber system market. The leading players in the scrubber system market include DuPont (US), Alfa Laval (Sweden), Yara Marine (Norway), Wärtsilä (Finland), and B&W (US). Contracts & agreements was the most commonly adopted strategy by the top players. This was followed by new product launches, mergers & acquisitions, and partnerships & collaborations.
