India Heat Exchangers Market, by Type
Based on type, the shell & tube segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate as well as gain a dominating share. Shell and tube heat exchangers are the backbone of many industries in India, as these can be used in extreme operating conditions such as high or low temperature, high pressure, and others. There is a significant increase in the adoption of shell and tube heat exchangers from fertilizers manufacturers. Some of the factors that hinder the growth of shell and tube are its cleaning and maintenance since a tube cooler requires more clearance and requires more space as compared to plate and frame heat exchangers.
India Heat Exchangers Market, by End-User Industry
On the basis of the end-user industry, the chemical industry is expected to gain the highest market share. The chemical industry is growing at a noteworthy pace in India, owing to the rise in consumption of specialty chemicals. In addition, the oil & gas industry is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate this is because of the significant rise in consumption of oil which has resulted in an increase in investment in oil & gas projects. This factor is anticipated to the boost adoption of the heat exchangers in the chemical and oil & gas industries. Where heat exchangers play a vital role in both the industries by recovering waste energy as well as performing numerous application such as cooling, condensing, heating, and others.
India Heat Exchangers Market, by Material of Construction
