Industry Insights, Market Size, CAGR, High-Level Analysis: Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers Market


The global brazed plate heat exchangers market size was valued at USD 859.1 million in 2018 and is estimated to progress at a CAGR of 7.5% by 2025. Rising utilization of the product in economizers, floor heating, oil coolers, condensers, super-coolers, refrigerant evaporators, and various other industrial applications is expected to drive the market.

Brazed plate heat exchangers are small-sized exchangers used to transfer heat between two fluids without the risk of the fluids getting mixed. They are used for both heating and cooling purposes. Industries use cooling functions more than the heating functions to avoid overheating of volatile substances that can damage the equipment. Moreover, the market is flourishing owing to the advantageous properties of brazed plate heat exchangers including small footprint, low maintenance cost, and cost-efficiency.

These exchangers comprise metal plates joined together to transfer heat from one fluid to another. The metal plates are vacuum brazed together using copper. Vacuum brazing is highly preferred owing to the strength of joints and no residual flux. These heat exchangers are highly used in the HVAC industry and industrial applications and are expected to witness an increase in demand in the former.

The U.S. is one of the largest markets for brazed plate exchangers owing to increasing urbanization and highly developed technology industries. High infrastructure development including construction of buildings, hotels, and offices is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. In addition, the U.S. HVAC industry is expected to grow significantly owing to the rapid development of variable refrigerant flow (VRF) technology according to Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). This, in turn, is projected to boost the demand for brazed plate exchangers.

Industries that involve high production levels adopt multi-circuit exchangers on a large scale. The multi-circuit brazed plate heat exchangers segment is anticipated to dominate the U.S. market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the ascending product demand from refrigeration and air conditioning applications. In terms of revenue, the segment was valued at USD 102.4 million in 2018 and is expected to progress significantly over the forecast period.
