External Combustion Engine Market Outlook (2022 to 2032)

The external combustion engine market is likely to record a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period. The market is projected to be valued at US$ 604.3 Million in 2022 and is likely to be valued at US$ 889.0 Million by 2032.

The demand for an external combustion engine is rising as it is compressed by the combustion of an external fuel through the heat exchanger or an engine wall. However, the engine is heavy, clumsy, and huge concerning structural design and can work well and is likely to propel the external combustion engine market share.

Report Attribute Details
External Combustion Engine Market Value (2022) US$ 604.3 Million
External Combustion Engine Market Anticipated Value (2032) US$ 889.0 Million
External Combustion Engine Projected Growth Rate (2032) 3.9%

Apart from these features, the external combustion engine is low emission and noise generation, increasing the demand for external combustion engines.

However, external combustion engines are generally available in two types: steam engines and Stirling engines. Among these, Stirling engines are highly preferred due to their high efficiency compared to steam engines, which is likely to increase the adoption of Stirling engines.

In terms of capacity, the big capacity segment led the worldwide external combustion engine market in revenue shares in 2021, and it's expected to do so during the forecast period.

Moreover, they can use any heat source and are also capable of quiet operations during the forecast period. External combustion systems are widely used in applications such as thermal power plants, nuclear plants, ships, trains, and pumps. ECT has commenced the development of a radically new combustion engine, which is a single piston.

Advancing and Constraint Factors in the External Combustion System Market

Drivers:

The external combustion system market is expected to gain traction over the forecast period owing to flexibility in arrangement and can use any source to supply heat. The engine burns fuel outside the power cylinder, which is expected to be a major factor during the forecast period.

Moreover, external combustion engines use sources such as municipal waste, geothermal, biomass, or solar to supply heat. These factors give traction toward the growth of the market during the forecast period. Additionally, due to external combustion, flexibility in an arrangement is feasible to further drive the external combustion engine over the forecast period.

That apart, the different benefits of external combustion systems, such as continuous external combustion, which reduces emission and elimination of exhaust of high-pressure combustion products, drive the growth of the market.

Restraints:

External combustion engines generally take a long time to put into action, which is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market over the forecast period. Moreover, risk factors such as the bursting of the boiler due to excess steam pressure have prompted the end users to vouch for alternate equipment.

This move is expected to act as a restraining factor to the growth of the external combustion engine market during the forecast period. Furthermore, high investment costs and low efficiency of the external combustion engine are expected to hinder the growth of the market over the forecast period.
