Global Steam Turbine Market - 2023-2030

Global Steam Turbine Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

The global steam turbine market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

One of the oldest and most adaptable prime mover technologies still in use today to power a generator or other mechanical equipment is the steam turbine. In 1884, the first steam turbine for the production of electricity was developed. Due to their superior efficiency and lower prices, steam turbines quickly supplanted reciprocating steam engines after their initial debut.

An exceptionally effective rotational heat engine for generating electricity is the steam turbine. The majority of the power utilized worldwide is produced by steam turbines. The steam's thermal energy is converted to mechanical energy by expanding via the turbine. The steam flow is directed into high-speed jets by several fixed blades (nozzles), which enable the expansion.

The tremendous kinetic energy of the jets is converted into shaft rotation when the direction of the steam jet is changed by the bucket-shaped rotor blades. The steam jet's centrifugal force causes it to exert pressure on the blade as it rotates around its curved surface.

The rows of stationary nozzles and moving blades that make up a stage. The rotating blades are installed on the turbine rotor, while the fixed blades are concentrically arranged inside the turbine's circular housing.

Market Dynamics

The rising government regulations

Government rules have shown a positive impact on the expansion of the industry. The global steam turbine market is subject to various regulations and standards that aim to ensure the safety, reliability and environmental sustainability of power generation. Various environmental regulations are presently aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution and water consumption.

The regulations include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Paris Agreement. Steam turbines emit carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter during operation, which can contribute to climate change and air pollution. Companies in the steam turbine market must comply with these regulations and invest in research and development to reduce the environmental impact of their products.

Various safety regulations for the steam turbine market are aimed at ensuring the safe operation of power plants. The regulations include the National Electric Code, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001. Steam turbines operate at high temperatures & pressures and their failure can lead to accidents and injuries.

High costs associated with steam turbine

Steam turbines require regular cleaning and inspection to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance which is a major contributor to the overall market growth. The components of steam turbines, such as the rotor blades and bearings, are subject to wear and tear and may require replacement or repair over time.

The maintenance and repair costs can add up over the lifetime of the turbine, making it a significant investment for companies. Furthermore, the high cost of steam turbines can make them less competitive compared to other power generation sources. For example, gas turbines have a lower installation cost and can be more efficient in certain applications.

Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, also have lower installation costs and are becoming increasingly cost-effective. The competition from other sources can limit the growth of the steam turbine market, as companies may choose to invest in other sources instead.

Segment Analysis

The global steam turbine market is segmented based on type, turbine power range, application and region.

Rising demand for turbines offering high efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions

Combined cycles in the steam turbine market are expected to hold a significant global market share. Combined-cycle steam turbines are primarily used for power generation in the utility industry. The systems are often used as a replacement for older, less efficient power plants or as a means of expanding power generation capacity. Combined cycle steam turbines are also used in peaking power plants, which provide additional power during periods of high demand.

One of the major sources of demand for combined cycle stream turbines occurs mainly in the upgradation of existing power plants. Power generation companies are upgrading their power plants to increase efficiency and output. For example, in November 2019, Siemens won a contract to supply combined cycle steam turbines for the upgradation of the Hiep Phuoc 1 power plant in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The upgradation would increase the plant’s output to 1200 MW from the current 780 MW and would enable the combustion of liquified natural gas (LNG).

Geographical Analysis

Asia-Pacific’s increase in electricity consumption to pre-pandemic levels

China and India are the primary drivers of the respective growth, with each country recording a sizable rise of 10%. Steam turbine industry growth is anticipated to be maintained by planned thermal facilities such as the Phulari Coal Powered Plant in Bangladesh and the Patratu Super-Thermal Power Plant (Coal) in India as global power demand rises per person.

Similarly, China's energy balance continues to be controlled by coal in terms of electricity production. Coal accounted for 64% of all electricity generated in 2021. However, the supremacy of coal is anticipated to decline by 2024.

China is building the most thermal power plants worldwide and uses many steam turbines. To meet the growing electricity demand, ultra-supercritical coal plants such as those at Huadian Laizhou and Fuyang Power Station are being constructed.

In Japan, 22 coal-powered facilities are now being built, including the Hitachinaka Kyodo and Nakoso power plants, which are anticipated to provide more than 1000 MW of electricity and are projected to have a favorable effect on the market under consideration.
