Boiler & Heat Exchanger Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Manufacturers produce boilers and heat exchangers for heating liquids for the industrial, energy and commercial markets. During recent years, the industry has experienced significant levels of volatility. Manufacturers rely on various industries, resulting in a diversified revenue stream. The pandemic affected multiple downstream markets, particularly vehicle manufacturing. Similarly, rising inflation and interest rates have led to declines in the nonresidential construction sector. However, the war in Ukraine led to a global slowdown in oil production, boosting demand for the domestic oil and gas sector, a major market of the industry. Overall, boiler and heat exchanger manufacturing revenue has lagged at a CAGR of 2.9% to $8.4 billion over the five years to 2024, including a dip of 1.2% in 2024 alone.

Trends and Insights

  • Manufacturers encountered steep declines amid the pandemic. Declines in nonresidential construction and utilities construction throughout the period resulted in lagging industry revenue.
  • Losses in the vehicle sector negatively impacted manufacturers. Vehicle production requires heat exchangers; therefore, vehicle demand directly impacts heat exchanger sales.
  • Manufacturers based near ports enjoy lower exporting costs and easy access to imported inputs. As a result, producers based in the West, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic can increase their profit margin.
  • Buyers emphasize the need for quality products, maintaining demand high regardless of a strong US dollar. This has supported the growth of domestic manufacturers.
