Steam Turbine Market Trends:
Increasing demand for electricity

The increasing demand for electricity is bolstering the market. The International Energy Agency predicts that worldwide energy consumption will increase by 4.6% in 2021, more than what it was in 2018. A steam turbine is a generator that generates mechanical or rotational energy by heating water. Steam turbines generate the majority of the world's electricity, accounting for 45% of the nation's electricity in 2021. The majority of steam turbines include a boiler, which burns fuel to generate hot water and steam in a heat exchanger. The steam then supplies power to the turbine, which, in turn, drives a generator. The majority of the United States' largest electric power facilities use steam turbines. This increasing usage of the turbine to generate electricity is driving the steam turbine market share.

Growing demand for onsite power generation

Due to growing demand for on-site power generation and favorable growth prospects in steam-intensive industries, the industrial applications of steam turbines are expected to increase. As steam turbine demand is witnessing a growth in its usage in sugar plants, refineries, pulp and paper industries, and chemical facilities, its market share will also grow. Favorable policies on expanding power generation capacity will help business dynamics meet rising electricity consumption and close the demand-supply gap. The increased use of super and ultra-supercritical technologies, as well as the conversion of existing power plants into combined cycle systems, are two significant factors driving product adoption. Rising government initiatives to establish a sustainable energy network and energy-efficient technology will energize sector dynamics even more.

Rising number of power plants

A rise in the number of power plants is expected to be commissioned to compensate for the energy shortage and this is projected to propel the demand for these turbines in the coming years. In 2022, the United States emerged as North America's largest market. One of the primary reasons for the expanding demand for these turbines in the United States is the increased number of combined-cycle natural gas plants in the country, which are reliable sources of energy. The country's policymakers are focusing on establishing sustainable energy-producing plants. This is expected to increase the number of steam turbine installations in the United States in the future years, catalyzing the steam turbine market revenue.

Steam Turbine Market Segmentation:
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on exhaust type, capacity, technology, and application.

Breakup by Exhaust Type:

Condensing
Non-Condensing

Condensing dominates the market

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the exhaust type. This includes condensing and non-condensing. According to the report, condensing represented the largest segment.

The condensing segment is the largest segment of the steam turbine market overview and it is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The noncondensing steam turbine uses high-pressure steam and exhausts lower-pressure steam to a header. To recover condensate, the condensing turbine exhausts to a surface condenser, which is typically a large exchanger with an associated hot well and can also take the form of an air fan. Condensing steam turbines are used when steady power production and steam extraction at a specific pressure are required. Steam may be used to extract the greatest energy due to the significant enthalpy difference between its initial and final conditions. Condensing steam turbines are commonly employed for cogeneration, in which the turbine produces the central power and meets the steam needs of the process plant.

Breakup by Capacity:

Less than 120 MW
121-350 MW
351-750 MW
More than 750 MW

121-350 MW holds the largest share in the market

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the capacity have also been provided in the report. This includes less than 120 MW, 121-350 MW, 351-750 MW, and more than 750 MW. According to the report, 121-350 MW accounted for the largest market share.

The steam turbine market report shows that 121-350 MW is leading the market in capacity range. This is due to its versatility and energy efficiency. The turbines within this range are used for generating electricity in power plants. They are mainly used in large-scale industrial applications. They can produce a large amount of power which makes them important in meeting the energy needs worldwide. Furthermore, these turbines are also integrated with renewable energy sources, which, in turn, increases their demand in the market.

Breakup by Technology:

Steam Cycle
Combined Cycle
Cogeneration

Steam cycle holds the maximum share in the market

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the technology have also been provided in the report. This includes steam cycle, combined cycle, and cogeneration. According to the report, steam cycle accounted for the largest market share.

The steam turbine market forecast shows that the steam cycle is the leading segment. The steam cycle, like the PWR, is two-loop, with the primary pressurized heavy-water loop transmitting heat energy to a loop of ordinary water to generate steam. Conventional steam-cycle plants are utilized to generate energy from vapor-dominated reservoirs. Steam is extracted from the wells, cleaned to eliminate any entrained sediments, and routed directly to a steam turbine. The steam cycle also helps in converting thermal energy into mechanical energy and then into electricity.

Breakup by Application:

Power Generation
Petrochemicals
Oil & Gas
Others

Power generation holds the biggest share in the market

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the application have also been provided in the report. This includes power generation, petrochemicals, oil & gas, and others. According to the report, power generation accounted for the largest market share.

Power generation is leading the market. It is positively impacting the steam turbine market outlook. Factors such as natural gas combined cycle plants, thermal coal plants, and rising emphasis on uninterrupted power supply are expected to propel the demand for these turbines in power generation. With growing urbanization, increasing demand for energy, and rising government efforts to promote industrialization and infrastructure development activities, the need for power generation is escalating. This, in turn, is catalyzing the product demand. Furthermore, the integration of turbines with renewable energy sources further expands the market growth.
