Japan Boiler Market

Japan Boiler Market Overview:

The Japan boiler market size reached USD 5.92 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 11.32 Billion by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.70% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing growth due to factors like the increasing demand for energy-efficient systems, environmental regulations, and industrial modernization. The shift towards renewable energy sources, coupled with the government’s sustainability initiatives, further accelerates Japan boiler market share.

Japan Boiler Market Trends:

Transition to Renewable Energy-Powered Boilers

A key trend in the Japan boiler market is the integration of renewable energy sources into boiler systems. As the country works towards decarbonization goals, the demand for boilers powered by renewable energy such as biomass, geothermal, and solar power is growing. Japan is actively moving away from fossil fuels to reduce carbon emissions, and the adoption of renewable energy solutions in industrial boilers is a crucial step in this direction. Companies are increasingly focusing on developing hybrid systems that combine traditional boiler technologies with renewable energy sources to ensure consistent performance and sustainability. This transition is expected to significantly contribute to Japan boiler market growth, aligning with global climate targets. For instance, in February 2025, Mitsubishi Corporation, Kirin Brewery, and partners announced the commencement of a green hydrogen demonstration project in 2026 at Kirin’s Chitose Brewery. The initiative aims to replace 23% of steam boiler fuel with green hydrogen, reducing annual GHG emissions by 464 tons. The project includes hydrogen production, photovoltaic systems, and hydrogen-fired boilers developed by Miura. Lasting 10 years, it supports decarbonization and innovation in industrial energy use. This collaboration advances Japan’s carbon neutrality targets through practical hydrogen integration in manufacturing processes.

Technological Advancements in Boiler Controls and Automation

Automation and high-level control systems are transforming the Japan boiler industry by enhancing boiler performance, reliability, and safety. As smart technologies gain ground, new boilers now incorporate sophisticated control systems that allow for precise observation and optimization of operating conditions. The systems are programmed to minimize human intervention, increase operation safety, and optimize energy efficiency. Through the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) features, these boilers ensure predictive maintenance and real-time data analysis, with extended lifespans and less downtime. Such advancements not only lead to cost savings for industrial processes but also align with Japan's overall mission to decrease energy consumption, hence contributing to the growth of Japan boiler market and increasing market share. For instance, in November 2024, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Hokuetsu Corporation launched a CO2 capture demonstration test at a paper mill in Japan. The test, using MHI’s CO2MPACT™ Mobile technology, aims to capture CO2 from chemical recovery boilers using black liquor as fuel.

Japan Boiler Market News:

• In July 2024, Nitto Denko Corporation completed its first CO2 zero-emission factory at its Tohoku Plant in Miyagi, Japan. The facility uses solar-generated surplus electricity to produce and store green hydrogen, which fuels hydrogen boilers for steam generation—eliminating fossil fuels. Operations begin in late 2024, with full hydrogen boiler deployment expected post-2025. This marks Japan’s first large-scale hydrogen steam boiler system, supporting Nitto’s ESG goals and its commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050, particularly in producing NittoPhase™ for oligonucleotide therapeutics.
• In May 2024, Japan-based boiler manufacturer Miura Co., Ltd. acquired Cleaver-Brooks, a prominent U.S. boiler manufacturer. This strategic move aims to enhance Miura’s global presence and further its mission to provide sustainable, best-in-class boiler room solutions.
