The steam turbine market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $17.09 billion in 2024 to $17.39 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization and power demand, expansion of power generation capacity, utilization in thermal power plants, cogeneration and combined heat and power (CHP) systems, reliability and longevity of steam turbines.
The steam turbine market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.06 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration in nuclear power plants, increasing demand for district heating systems, focus on energy efficiency in industries, replacement and upgradation in aging infrastructure, emergence of small-scale and modular power plants. Major trends in the forecast period include development of advanced steam turbine controls, focus on upgrading and retrofitting existing steam turbine plants, growth in small-scale and micro steam turbines, introduction of advanced steam turbine materials, collaborations for research and development in steam turbine technology.
The growing emphasis on renewable energy is anticipated to drive the expansion of the steam turbine market. Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, offers reliable power supplies and diversifies fuel sources, enhancing energy security while minimizing the risk of fuel spills. The primary objective of prioritizing renewable energy is to promote economic development, improve energy security, increase access to electricity, and combat climate change. This heightened focus generates a demand for steam turbines, which are a clean energy source for electricity production with minimal environmental impact. For instance, in April 2023, a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a federal agency in the U.S., indicated that renewable energy production and consumption reached record levels in 2022, contributing approximately 13% (13.4 quads) to total energy production and 13% (13.18 quads) to total energy consumption. Furthermore, hydropower generation and geothermal energy utilization both experienced a 4% increase in 2022 compared to 2021. Consequently, the increasing focus on renewable energy is expected to propel the growth 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.
