The report includes an in-depth analysis of the North America Waste Heat Recovery Systems Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The North America Waste Heat Recovery Systems Market was valued at USD 18.46 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.93% between 2025 and 2034.  Rising energy demand, industrial growth, and stricter energy efficiency regulations are driving the adoption of waste heat recovery systems (WHRS). The need for reliable electricity, energy optimization, and renewable integration further supports this trend. Additionally, the growing focus on improving overall system efficiency has led to increased use of waste heat from various industrial processes, boosting market prospects. In North America, ongoing government efforts to promote energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions are expected to significantly enhance the demand for WHRS, positively influencing the region’s business outlook.
By Product Insights:
The electricity and steam generation segment of the Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) industry is expected to witness highest growth in the coming years. This surge is driven by the systems’ ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, offer versatile applications, and deliver high energy efficiency. Continued efforts to manage emissions and address rising energy costs are influencing the integration of WHRS in this segment. Moreover, increasing investments in sustainable waste heat utilization across various industries are anticipated to further boost demand for these systems throughout the region.

By Temperature Insights:
Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) operating in the 230 °C to 650 °C temperature range are expected to experience steady growth in the coming years. This expansion is driven by growing awareness of the benefits these systems offer, including improved energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, and a smaller environmental footprint. As industries increasingly prioritize sustainability and cost-effectiveness, the demand for WHRS within this temperature range is set to strengthen, supporting positive business prospects throughout the forecast period.

Regional Insights
The U.S. waste heat recovery systems market is projected to witness substantial growth, driven by rising awareness of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Supportive government policies and ongoing technological advancements will further boost industry expansion. Moreover, strict environmental regulations and an increasing focus on sustainable practices are expected to propel market development, positioning waste heat recovery systems as a key solution in the nation’s transition toward efficient energy use.

Market Competitive Landscape
ABB, BIHL, Bosch Industriekessel GmbH, Climeon, and DÜRR Group hold a significant share of the waste heat recovery systems market in North America. These companies are heavily investing in research and development initiatives to strengthen their market position and maintain a competitive advantage over other industry players.



Recent Developments:

In March 2023, Dürr Group launched the Cyplan ORC 70 NT, a low-temperature Organic Rankine Cycle module that converts waste heat into clean electricity from as low as 85°C. Designed for versatility across industries, it offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution by reducing energy costs and CO₂ emissions.
In February 2021, Siemens Energy signed a strategic agreement to develop a waste heat-to-power pilot project in Canada. The facility will use supercritical carbon dioxide (sCOâ‚‚) technology to convert waste heat from a gas turbine into emission-free electricity. Designed to supply power to over 10,000 households, the project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 44,000 tons annually.
