Steam Turbine Global Market Report 2024

The steam turbine market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $16.89 billion in 2023 to $17.23 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.0%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors such as industrialization driving increased power demand, expansions in power generation capacity, widespread utilization in thermal power plants, adoption in cogeneration and combined heat and power (CHP) systems, as well as the recognized reliability and durability of steam turbines. These factors collectively contributed to the expansion and development of steam turbine technology during that period.

The steam turbine market size is expected to see marginal growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.64 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.0%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to several factors including the integration of steam turbines in nuclear power plants, rising demand for district heating systems, heightened emphasis on energy efficiency across industries, the need for replacement and upgradation in aging infrastructure, and the emergence of small-scale and modular power plants.

The burgeoning focus on renewable energy is anticipated to catalyze the expansion of the steam turbine market. Renewable energy, synonymous with clean energy, ensures stable power supplies, diversifies fuel sources, bolsters energy security, and curbs the risk of fuel-related accidents. This emphasis on renewable energy, aimed at fostering economic development, fortifying energy security, widening power accessibility, and addressing climate change concerns, triggers a heightened demand for steam turbines. As indicated in the January 2022 report by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India boasted an installed renewable energy capacity of 152.36 GW, constituting 38.56% of the total installed power capacity. Notably, power generation from renewable sources surged to 13.15 billion units in January 2022, marking an increase from 11.51 billion units in January 2021. Consequently, the escalating emphasis on renewable energy is poised to steer the growth trajectory of the steam turbine market.

The growth projections for the steam turbine market anticipate a significant uptick due to the expansion of the manufacturing sector. This sector, often referred to as industry, encompasses activities involved in producing tangible goods through raw material processing. Steam turbines are pivotal in this domain, offering efficient power and mechanical drive for various processes. Their reliability and adaptability make them indispensable in optimizing production and energy consumption across facilities. An August 2023 report by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) highlighted a rise in manufacturing value-added output from $2.905 trillion to $2.895 trillion in 2023's first to fourth quarters, contributing 10.9% to the US economy initially. This growth underscores the driving force behind the steam turbine market's expansion.

Companies in the steam turbine market are prioritizing the development of cutting-edge technologies, including integrated production control systems, aiming to broaden their consumer base, boost sales, and elevate revenue streams. These systems, encompassing a comprehensive suite of interconnected technologies and processes, aim to efficiently manage and optimize various production aspects within industrial settings. In December 2022, Yokogawa Electric Corporation unveiled the CENTUM VP R6.10, a significant addition to their integrated production control system under the OpreX Control and Safety System. Notably, this version introduces advanced capabilities for steam turbine control in compressor drives and the seamless management of multiple compressor trains. Its distinctiveness lies in consolidating process control and turbomachinery control on a single CENTUM VP system, offering an expanded range of control functions. Beyond operational benefits, it significantly enhances engineering, procurement, and maintenance processes, uniquely supporting steam turbine control for compressor drives and streamlining operations via the integrated control of multiple compressor trains.

Imerys S.A., a French mining company, collaborated with E.ON SE, a German electric utility company, in June 2023. Their partnership aims to construct an advanced energy recovery facility at Imerys' site, employing a high-efficiency steam turbine to generate up to 29 MWel of electricity from syngas. This initiative caters to local energy needs while contributing power to approximately 40,000 households and explores potential district heating network opportunities using residual plant heat.

In February 2022, EDF, a French electric utility company, completed the acquisition of American General Electric Company (GE). EDF acquired GE Steam Power's nuclear steam turbine business to consolidate a global steam turbine equipment and services provider within the EDF group. General Electric Company, based in the US, specializes in technologies and services for nuclear and coal power plants, including steam turbines, through its subsidiary, GE Steam Power.
