Guidehouse Research Estimates Global Market for Industrial Electric Heating Will Grow to Over $30 Billion by 2033
Electrification of high temperature processes will be a key driver of industrial decarbonization BOULDER, Colo., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A new report from Guidehouse Research examines the global market for electric heating capacity additions and equipment revenue for high temperature industrial processes. Approximately half of industrial heat demand is for thermal processes that operate at temperatures above 400°C. These processes typically occur in hard-to-abate sectors such as iron and steel, basic chemicals, cement and lime, nonferrous metals, and glass production, all of which rely on fossil fuel combustion to supply most of their thermal energy needs. According to a new report from Guidehouse Research, annual electric heating capacity additions for high temperature industrial processes are expected to increase globally from 4,136 MW in 2024 to 9,482 MW in 2033, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. Revenue over the same period is expected to grow from $11.3 billion to $30.6 billion, representing a CAGR of 11.7%. 'Approaches to decarbonizing high temperature heat have often focused on combustion-based pathways such as carbon capture, hydrogen, or biomass,' says Peter Marrin, principal research analyst with Guidehouse Research. 'However, a growing body of evidence suggests that electrification of high temperature processes will be a key driver of industrial decarbonization. Beyond existing applications, pilot and demonstration projects in cement, chemicals, and other sectors have shown that technically, electrification could satisfy a much greater share of industrial heat demand than it does today.' Advantages of direct electrification for heavy industry include improvements to process efficiency, significant reductions in energy-related emissions when using low carbon electricity sources, and lower maintenance costs. Important co-benefits from electrification include potential contributions to grid flexibility and improvements to achievable carbon capture rates for unavoidable process emissions. On the other hand, the gap between electricity and fossil fuel prices paid by energy-intensive industries remains a major challenge—as does the long lifetime of industrial assets and the sophistication of their production processes, which consist of multiple integrated heating stages with complex interactions between material and energy flows, according to the report. The report, Electrification of High Temperature Heat, provides market report analyses for electric heating capacity additions and equipment revenue for high temperature industrial processes from 2024 through 2033.

13MP crucial amid uncertain times, says Fahmi
Communications minister Fahmi Fadzil cautioned against treating AI systems as if they possess human-like decision-making power, calling it a dangerous misconception that could undermine human agency. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Communications minister Fahmi Fadzil said the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) is a 'critical milestone' in charting the country's development amid global uncertainty and rapid technological change. Speaking at the International Connectivity Conference 2025 here today, Fahmi said the 13MP, to be tabled by the prime minister tomorrow, will shape Malaysia's response to emerging challenges, particularly in the digital and connectivity sectors. 'The 13MP is built on the Madani economic framework, guided by the principle of raising the ceiling and raising the floor. 'The aim is to grow both national income and the people's income, with a focus on high value-added industries and strengthening downstream sectors. 'You can't talk about planning the future without thinking about connectivity. We are living in a time and an age where connectivity is ubiquitous, and you have an entire new generation born into what we now call the digital age,' he said. Separately, Fahmi said Malaysia's digital progress must go hand-in-hand with ethical responsibility, adding that technology must always be used in ways that serve humanity. He said emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum communications and direct-to-cell satellite connectivity present many possibilities, but also raise questions around ethics. He cautioned against treating AI systems as if they possess human-like decision-making power, calling it a dangerous misconception that could undermine human agency. Fahmi also announced that Malaysia is set to launch its first large language model – an AI model trained on massive amounts of text data to understand, generate and manipulate human language – at the Asean AI Summit this year, a move aimed at enhancing national control over AI development and ensuring responsible use of technology.
