Steam Turbine Market By Design (Reaction, Impulse), By End-Use Industry (Power Generation, Petrochemical, Oil and Gas, Others), By Forging Capacity (Large Forging, Ultra Large Forging): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

The global steam turbine market was valued at $17.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $22.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2023 to 2032.

A steam turbine is a generator that utilizes heating water to create mechanical or rotational energy. For the purpose of analysis, the global steam turbine market scope covers segmentation based on design, end-use industry, forging capacity, and region. The report outlines the details of various designs of steam turbines such as reaction turbines and impulse turbines. In addition, the applications covered in the study include power generation, petrochemical, oil & gas, and others. By forging capacity, it is divided into large forging and ultra large forging.

Moreover, it analyzes the current market trends of steam turbines across different regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA and suggests future growth opportunities. Several regulations have been implemented to promote the generation of energy through renewable sources. These regulations impact the steam turbine market positively. For instance, the India National Renewable Energy Act 2015 promotes the distribution of energy from renewable energy sources to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. After the historic UN Paris Climate Agreement—a legally binding international treaty on climate change—half of Europe’s 324 coal power plants have either closed or pledged to shut down before 2030.

Furthermore, Germany will phase out coal-fired power generation by 2038; the first lignite-fired power plants were shut down in 2020, and the first tender process for closing down hard coal power plants was held. These regulations are established to ensure energy security and reduce local and global pollutants. Such regulations are anticipated to drive the demand for thermal renewables-based steam turbines. As a result, it is expected that with the growing demand for thermal renewables-based steam turbines, the global steam turbine market will witness notable growth in the coming years. Steam turbines are expensive; for instance, for a steam turbine combined heat and power (CHP) plant that burns solid biomass, the installed cost of only CHP is around $5,000/kW or higher. The installed cost for the steam turbine and electrical generator costs roughly 15–25% of the total installed cost. In addition, steam turbines are less effective than reciprocating motors at part load activity. Furthermore, steam turbines have longer startup times when compared to gas turbines and reciprocating engines. In addition, they are less responsive to changes in power demand compared with gas turbines and reciprocating engines.

Furthermore, they exhibit major energy losses such as radiative heat loss due to improper insulation, steam pressure loss at regulating valves and pipes, mechanical friction loss at bearing & other surfaces, leakage of steam, and friction losses in nozzles & blades. Thus, all these factors are expected to hamper the growth of the market, as they are limiting the use of steam turbines. The COVID-19 pandemic is predicted to possess hurdles for turbine equipment manufacturers due to disruption in supply chain and shutting down of manufacturing and energy generating facilities. Steam turbine OEMs involved in international wind turbine delivery chain hubs include China, India, and Spain. These three markets have shown poor growth in 2020. Coal is the primary source of power generation in India (~71% in March 2020). Throughout the lockdown, the coal stock has seen a visible increase. As a result, the contribution of coal in total energy generation decreased from 72.5% to 65.6%. In India, 41% of the total electricity consumption was for industrial purposes, followed by 25% for domestic and 18% for agricultural purposes.

As the lockdown has severely reduced the industrial and commercial activities in the country, these segments witnessed a considerable decline in demand for electricity. However, all activities have resumed normally and COVID cases have declined due to the vaccination drive, which led to increased operations in various industries across the globe. Moreover, the global supply chain has significantly recovered. Furthermore, the economic recovery of major countries such as India, China, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea has resulted in increased spending on steam turbines. Thus, the market has shown significant signs of recovery. Furthermore, India has taken the initiative to invest in the development of nuclear power plants by 2030 to meet the growing demand for power.
