South Korea Heat Exchanger Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The South Korea heat exchanger market size is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.80% between 2025 and 2034.

The use of heat exchangers in South Korea is expected to gain momentum with technological advancements in the design of heat exchangers. For example, the invention of gasketed plate heat exchangers which provides improved channel flows and better use of heat transfer surface area.

As per the South Korea heat exchanger market analysis, shell and tube heat exchangers lead the market because of their efficient heat exchange rate and simple design. They are highly flexible and can operate across a range of temperatures and pressures, which make them apt for use in the chemical sector. Since it is made using various kinds of construction materials, it is tolerant to high pressure conditions. They are very reliable and are easy to maintain since they can be easily taken apart for cleaning, maintenance, or repair work, and put back together. They can be used in all types of applications and have lower environmental impact (use less energy and emit lower pollution) compared to traditional methods.

The growing focus on improving heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to boost efficiency is projected to raise the importance of heat exchangers in advancing energy conservation and decreasing carbon emissions. This aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly technologies across key sectors of South Korea.

Additionally, cooling towers can utilise heat exchangers to cool condenser water and thus, the chilled water loop in case outside air temperatures are lower, enabling the electric chiller to remain inactive. The increasing applications of heat exchangers with improvement in technologies are expected to aid the South Korea heat exchanger market growth.
