The Global Exhaust Heat Recovery System Market is valued at approximately USD 35.55 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a robust CAGR of 7.07% during the forecast period 2025–2035. Exhaust Heat Recovery Systems (EHRS) are transformative technologies that aim to capture and repurpose waste heat emitted from internal combustion engines, converting it into useful energy to enhance overall vehicle efficiency. In an industry racing toward decarbonization and stricter fuel economy standards, EHRS have carved a vital niche by enabling OEMs to reduce emissions while optimizing fuel consumption. Their widespread adoption is catalyzed by the exponential demand for energy-efficient propulsion systems, especially in passenger cars and commercial vehicles, where even marginal gains in efficiency translate into significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
With global emission regulations tightening and fuel economy standards becoming more demanding, manufacturers are pushing the envelope on thermal management innovations. Among these, EHRS technologies—such as Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs), Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), Turbochargers, and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)—are now pivotal. These solutions not only recycle exhaust energy but also power ancillary vehicle systems or feed the drivetrain directly, thereby reducing reliance on fuel. The integration of such systems is particularly dominant in high-mileage applications like HCVs and LCVs, where durability and cost-effectiveness are paramount. Furthermore, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles are increasingly integrating EHRS modules to balance energy regeneration and consumption.
From a regional standpoint, North America currently leads the EHRS market, largely due to advanced automotive R&D capabilities, strict regulatory mandates such as CAFÉ standards, and a high penetration of hybrid and light-duty diesel vehicles. Europe follows closely, bolstered by its comprehensive sustainability policies, automotive electrification strategies, and significant investments in eco-friendly mobility infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate throughout the forecast period, with countries such as China, Japan, and India actively investing in emission-reduction technologies and clean transport initiatives. In China, for instance, the government’s New Energy Vehicle (NEV) policy encourages the integration of EHRS in next-gen vehicle architectures, giving a notable thrust to this market.
