Global Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Market Overview
Global flue gas desulfurization (FGD) market is forecast to grow from $ 15 billion in 2018 to $ 19 billion by 2024, owing to the enforcement of various laws and regulations that mandate SOx emitting industries to install air quality control equipment in their plants across the globe. Flue gas desulfurization is a technology which removes sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gas emitted by fossil fuel power plants prior to its release into the atmosphere.

Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) market is growing across the globe, on account of increasing prevalence of airborne diseases, implementation of environmental laws and regulations, and growing concerns over environmental pollution. Increasing demand for FGD systems from chemicals, power generation, cement manufacturing, iron & steel, and various other industries is also expected to fuel the FGD market, globally, during forecast period.

Global Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Market Segment Insights
In terms of type, flue gas desulfurization market is categorized into dry & semi-dry FGD system and wet FGD system. Of the two types, wet FGD system category is anticipated to account for the majority share in the global FGD market during the forecast period, owing to growing adoption of wet FGD systems in several industries backed by their high effectiveness in removing SO2 from flue gas.

Global Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Market Regional Insights
