Power Plant Maintenance Global Market Report 2024

The power plant maintenance market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.1 billion in 2023 to $22.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the rise in coal power generation, the growth in electricity demand, and an increased focus on renewable energy sources.

The power plant maintenance market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to improvements in efficiency, evolving market dynamics, favorable environmental policies, and an increasing focus on fuel consumption. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements, product innovations, strategic partnerships, and the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in maintenance devices.

The anticipated growth of the power plant maintenance market is driven by the increasing global energy demand expected in the coming years. Energy demand encompasses the quantity of energy required for various activities such as heating, cooling, lighting, transportation, production, and communication by individuals, enterprises, industries, and society. The surge in energy demand is attributed to factors such as changing weather conditions, decreasing energy prices, favorable government policies, and environmental considerations. Power plant maintenance plays a crucial role in addressing the escalating energy demand by ensuring reliable operation, enhancing efficiency, extending equipment lifespan, improving safety and compliance, and optimizing overall performance. For example, as of June 2023, the Energy Information Administration reported that the primary consumption of electricity in the United States reached 100.4 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) in 2022, marking a 3% increase from 2021. In 2022, non-fossil fuel sources, including nuclear and renewables, accounted for approximately 21% of US energy consumption. Thus, the growing global energy demand is a driving force behind the power plant maintenance market.

Major players in the power plant maintenance market are actively focusing on introducing augmented reality (AR)-based digital technological solutions to enhance their competitive position. AR-based digital technological solutions involve the use of computer-generated visual and auditory information to improve maintenance and repair processes within power generation facilities. For instance, in December 2021, Siemens AG, a Germany-based automation company, collaborated with Augmensys GmbH, an Austria-based software corporation, to develop the Comos Mobile Worker app. This new augmented reality (AR)-based mobile management software is designed to assist plant maintenance teams in rapidly processing real-time data from various sources, visualizing and processing engineering data, real-time data from control systems, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) system data. This enhances the safety and efficiency of process plant operations.

Power plant maintenance involves the routine and systematic inspection, examination, modification, repair, and upgrading of equipment, machinery, and other resources essential for the daily operations of power plants. This maintenance is crucial for ensuring employee safety, extending the lifespan of plant equipment, and minimizing unforeseen downtime.

The primary types of power plant maintenance include thermal, nuclear, combined cycle, hydropower, renewable energy, and others. A thermal power plant is a facility that converts heat energy into electrical power by boiling water in a large pressure vessel, generating steam at high pressure, which then drives a steam turbine coupled to an electrical generator. Various types of maintenance services are performed, including monitoring and control, preventive or scheduled maintenance, predictive maintenance, and breakdown maintenance. Numerous pieces of equipment are covered, such as steam turbines, gas turbines, wind turbines, boilers, generators, condensers, and others.
