Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the Flue Gas Desulfurization Market, offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.
Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Market Introduction
The flue gas desulfurization market continues to gain attention as industries and power producers focus on reducing sulfur dioxide emissions from combustion processes. According to industry analysis.
The flue gas desulfurization market size is estimated at USD 27.61 billion in 2026, increasing from USD 26.03 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 37.03 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.05% during the forecast period.
The flue gas desulfurization (fgd) industry continues to gain from retrofit projects in aging power plants and industrial facilities, where operators are upgrading pollution control systems to comply with stricter emission standards.
This supports ongoing flue gas desulfurization market growth, particularly in regions that still rely on coal and other sulfur-based fuels. Additionally, by-products such as synthetic gypsum, widely used in construction and agriculture, improve the economic value of FGD systems and strengthen the overall flue gas desulfurization market forecast.
Flue Gas Desulfurization Market Emerging Trends
Stringent Sulfur Emission Regulations
One of the major flue gas desulfurization market trends is the tightening of sulfur dioxide emission standards across several regions. Governments and environmental agencies are enforcing stricter rules for coal-fired power plants and industrial facilities to limit air pollution. As regulatory frameworks expand to include more industrial sources, demand for emission control technologies continues to support the overall flue gas desulfurization market growth.
Retrofit Installations in Aging Industrial Facilities
Another important trend in the flue gas desulfurization (fgd) industry is the increasing number of retrofit installations in older industrial plants and power stations. Many facilities built decades ago are upgrading their existing pollution control equipment to align with modern emission standards. Retrofit projects allow plant operators to extend the operational life of their facilities while ensuring compliance with environmental policies.
Rising Demand for Synthetic Gypsum By-Products
The production of synthetic gypsum from flue gas desulfurization systems is creating additional economic value for plant operators. Synthetic gypsum is widely used in wallboard manufacturing and soil conditioning in agriculture due to its consistent quality. As natural gypsum supply fluctuates in certain regions, industries are increasingly turning to FGD-derived gypsum as an alternative raw material. This development strengthens the economic case for installing FGD s
