The market growth is primarily driven by advancements in heat transfer technology and advanced steam control. Additionally, the growing global demand for electricity has created a need among energy industry players to increase daily energy production, which is expected to drive market growth. In 2018, approximately 23 trillion kWh of electricity was consumed worldwide, compared to 22 and 21 trillion kWh of electricity in 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Furthermore, the growing demand for energy-efficient systems, coupled with the increased use of machines to generate dry and saturated steam for pharmaceutical plants, is expected to fuel the market growth in the near future. It was noted that global energy demand increased by 2.3% in 2019, with buildings and industry accounting for 80% of this increase. Energy efficiency improvements accounted for 40% of the reduction in global energy demand in 2019. They are widely used to reduce production load and avoid low steam rates. This has been assessed as a key factor likely to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. A steam generator is a low-water consumption boiler of a type similar to a flash steam boiler. The usual construction is a helical coil of water tubes arranged as a single-tube or multi-tube coil. Circulation is carried out in the form of a forced circulation boiler in the flow and pumped under pressure.

Segmentation des générateurs de vapeur
End user (utilities, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, refineries, pulp and paper)
The global steam generator market is segmented and analyzed based on demand and supply by end user into cellular utilities, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, refineries, pulp and paper, and others. Among these end-user types, the utilities segment is expected to gain the largest market share of approximately 35% in 2037. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the extensive use of steam generators by the utilities sector to recover heat from existing industrial processes. Additionally, based on materials, the austenitic segment is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period owing to the high resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of this class of steels. Apart from this, the excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and ductility of this steel are expected to drive the growth of this market segment in the coming years. A public utility is an organization that maintains the infrastructure of a public service. Utilities are subject to public control and regulation, from local community groups to state-wide government monopolies. Utilities include telecommunications, electricity, natural gas, some transportation services, and water and wastewater treatment services provided by private companies. The telecommunications industry is composed of a mix of large and small players around the world. AT&T Corporation makes more money than any other carrier with revenues of nearly $172 billion, but China's total telecommunications asset base is much larger than that. This broad term is based on four basic principles: form utility, time utility, place utility, and possession utility.
Material (martensitic, ferritic, austenitic)
The global steam generator market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material into martensitic, ferritic, austenitic, and others. Among these five segments, the martensitic segment is expected to account for a significant share of approximately 30% by 2037. Martensitic is a very hard form of the crystalline structure of steel. It is named after the German metallurgist Adolf Martens. Similarly, the term can also refer to any crystalline structure resulting from a non-diffusive transformation. Martensitic is a descriptive term used to refer to martensitic stainless steels. Martensitic stainless steel is a type of steel with carbon added and has a body-centered tetragonal crystal structure. The main difference between austenitic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel is that the crystal structure of austenitic stainless steel is face-centered cubic, while the crystal structure of martensitic stainless steel is body-centered cubic. Martensitic steel is very useful in automotive applications such as door beams, bumpers, very light and strong lower side members (sill plates), car cross beams, and beams designed to prevent intrusion into the vehicle interior. Therefore, it is estimated that the growth in vehicle sales will drive segment growth. For example, it was noted that global passenger car sales in 2020 reached approximately 63 million units.
