The utility boiler market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.69 billion in 2024 to $31.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for electricity, accelerated industrialization, increased investments in renewable energy, a growing emphasis on energy efficiency, and the implementation of stricter government regulations and standards.
The utility boiler market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $40.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. Growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising adoption of combined heat and power (CHP) systems, expanding infrastructure development, increased emphasis on waste heat recovery, a growing demand for retrofit solutions, and a continued shift toward natural gas-fired boilers. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in boiler technologies, the integration of smart monitoring and control systems, innovations in combustion efficiency, progress in emission reduction technologies, and the development of high-efficiency heat recovery systems.
The growing demand for electricity is expected to drive the expansion of the utility boiler market in the coming years. Electricity refers to the flow of electric charge through conductors, used to power various systems and infrastructure across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. This demand is increasing due to ongoing industrialization, as expanding manufacturing facilities, machinery, and production lines require a reliable and substantial power supply. Utility boilers play a vital role in meeting this demand by offering dependable, large-scale steam generation for power plants. They enable continuous energy production, helping to maintain a stable and efficient electricity supply. For example, in December 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that global electricity consumption rose by 4.3% in 2024, up from a 2.5% increase in 2023. Thus, the rising electricity demand is contributing significantly to the growth of the utility boiler market.
Leading companies in the utility boiler industry are developing advanced electric hot water boilers aimed at improving energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Electric hot water boilers are systems that use electricity to heat water for a variety of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. For instance, in January 2025, Diversified Heat Transfer Inc., a US-based engineering and manufacturing firm, introduced the EWx series electric hot water boiler. This series sets a new benchmark for sustainable, zero-emission heating in HVAC systems across commercial and industrial environments. Featuring a compact, fully packaged design, the series includes 32 models ranging from 270 kW to 1200 kW, all engineered to pass through a standard 36-inch doorway and requiring minimal side clearance for easy installation. It offers advanced PID electronic controls with a 7-inch touchscreen, supports BacNet and ModBus communication protocols, and uses SCR technology to enable infinite turn-down, reduce cycling, and extend component lifespan delivering an energy-efficient, zero-emission heating solution.
In October 2024, Boccard Société Anonyme, a France-based construction engineering company, acquired Leroux & Lotz Technologies for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Boccard’s renewable thermal energy portfolio by incorporating Leroux & Lotz’s expertise in utility boiler systems and waste-to-energy solutions.

A utility boiler is a type of industrial boiler used to produce steam or hot water for power generation and various industrial processes. Its main objective is to deliver a reliable steam supply for electricity generation, heating, and other operational needs within a facility. Operating at high pressures and temperatures, these boilers convert water into steam to drive turbines connected to electric generators.
The primary types of utility boilers include pulverized coal boilers, fluidized bed boilers, and circulating fluidized bed boilers. A pulverized coal boiler functions by burning finely powdered coal to generate steam for power production or industrial use. These boilers utilize different technologies such as subcritical, supercritical, and ultra-supercritical systems, and are available in various capacity ranges: 30-100 MW, 100-250 MW, 250-500 MW, and above 500 MW. Utility boilers support a wide array of industries, including power generation, oil and gas, chemical processing, and pulp and paper.
