The increasing stringency of environmental regulations globally is driving the demand for dry marine scrubber systems. These systems help vessel operators comply with emission control standards by reducing sulfur oxide emissions from the exhaust gases of marine engines.
The growing preference for dry marine scrubber systems over wet scrubbers due to their lower operating costs and ease of maintenance is fueling market growth. Dry scrubber systems are more cost-effective in the long run as they require less water and energy to operate, resulting in lower operational expenses for ship owners.
The rising adoption of alternative fuels in the marine industry, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and biofuels, is creating opportunities for the dry marine scrubber systems market. These systems can be easily integrated into vessels powered by alternative fuels, further boosting their demand and adoption.

The high initial investment cost of dry marine scrubber systems is a major restraint for market growth. Ship owners may be deterred by the upfront capital expenditure required to purchase and install these systems, especially for older vessels that may require retrofitting.
The complexity of installation and integration of dry marine scrubber systems into existing vessels poses a challenge for market growth. Retrofitting these systems onto ships can be time-consuming and may require significant modifications to the vessel's structure, leading to operational disruptions and additional costs for ship operators.
