The increasing concerns about global greenhouse gas emissions are expected to surge the demand for energy-efficient systems
Industrial sources, such as manufacturing, food processing, mining and construction, account for about a quarter (23%) of U.S greenhouse gas emissions. Various processes produce direct emissions, including on-site combustion of fossil fuels for heat and power, non-energy usage of fossil fuels, and chemical processes used in manufacturing iron, steel, and cement.
In addition, the centrally generated electricity that the industry consumes emits indirect emissions. The industrial sector accounts for roughly a quarter of overall electricity sales in the U.S. Thus, According to a new analysis from the United Nations Environment Programme and the Global Energy Agency, switching to energy-efficient air conditioning appliances could save as much as 460 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the next four decades.
Furthermore, According to the Government of Canada, Canada’s total GHG emissions in 2018 were 729 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e). The oil and gas sector emitted 193 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq) in 2018, accounting for 26% of total emissions, closely followed by the transportation sector with 186 Mt CO2 eq (25 percent ).
Thus, the growing greenhouse emission triggers various industries to adopt an industrial cooling system to cut the growing emission percentage in recent times. Therefore growing shift towards adopting industrial cooling systems across the globe is expected to uplift the growing market for the product in the forecast period.

Regular maintenance and cleaning required by industrial cooling systems act as major hurdles for the growth of the product's market.
Cooling systems require regular cleaning, maintenance and scheduled overhauls to operate efficiently. It can range from routine maintenance (such as flushing) to repairs that necessitate removing the tube bundle from the heat exchanger shell for cleaning or even replacing whole cooling towers.
Regular maintenance is a major parameter required for the sizing of the industrial cooling system. Furthermore, a cooling system must be derated, or extra capacity should be provided by increasing heat transfer surface area and pumping capacity if cooling demand increases or is underestimated at installation.
Different cooling systems may operate at high temperatures and pressures or with hazardous fluids, necessitating appropriate operating procedures to prevent crew injury and system failure. Some cooling systems, such as cooling towers, have a limited BEP range and may perform less efficiently at higher and lower flow rates than their nominal flow rates.
Thus the mentioned disadvantages of industrial cooling systems are the challenges that hurdle the market's growth.
