A cooling tower is basically a building structure made from
various building materials used to efficiently cool high-temperature liquids
such as steam, air, water, or even water-cooled by mechanical energy. In the
earlier days, cooling towers were designed to reduce the temperature of flowing
water. However, today, cooling towers are designed to maintain the optimum
temperature for several reasons, and these include minimizing energy
consumption, reducing noise emissions, and reducing wear and tear on cooling
equipment. The cooling tower provides reliable heat transfer. One of the most
important advantages of using cooling towers is that it offers a reliable
source of heating and cooling system for residential and commercial purposes.
The global cooling
towers market is expected to witness massive growth during the forecast
period, owing to increasing electricity consumption worldwide. According to the
International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2018, the electricity consumption reached
24,738.9 TWh (Terawatt-hour), increasing from 19,851.8 TWh in 2010. This, in
turn, has led to an increased demand for uninterrupted electricity supply
thereby increasing electricity generation. Generally, the cooling towers are
used in power generation plants to dissipate the heat into the atmosphere.
Hence, such factors are expected to drive growth of the global cooling towers
market during the forecast period. Furthermore, technological advancements in
cooling towers combined with stringent environmental regulations are expected
to propel the global cooling towers market growth over the forecast period. For
instance, in November 2017, SPX Cooling Technologies showcased its latest
Marley cooling tower and component innovations at Power-Gen International.
However, the requirement for a massive quantity of water is
expected to propel the global cooling towers market growth in the near future.
Besides, increasing demand for nuclear power generation can present lucrative
growth opportunities in the global cooling towers market. Furthermore, Asia
Pacific to hold a dominant position in the global cooling towers market in the
near future. This is owing to growing focus on the construction of nuclear
power plants. Furthermore, Europe is expected to register a robust growth rate,
owing to increasing number of heavy industries in the region.
Major companies involved in the global cooling towers market are
SPX Corporation, Baltimore Aircoil Company Inc., Evapco, Inc., Enexio, Hamon
& CIE International SA, Babcock & Wilcox SPIG, Paharpur Cooling Towers,
and Johnson Controls Inc.
For instance, in September 2020, SPX Cooling Technologies introduced
Marley BasinGard Filter for cooling towers as part of its MarleyGard Water
Management and Tower Protection Tools.
