The steam turbine, also known as the turbine engine, uses steam pressure to produce power. The ability to generate large amounts of electricity has seen steam turbines resurgence since their inception. There are many applications for steam turbines, both industrial and utility-scale.

According to the latest report by Market.us, “The  Steam Turbine Market is expected to reach USD 29.57 billion in 2023. It is projected to grow to USD 39.36 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 2.90% over the review period 2023-2033.

steam turbine market growth

A steam turbine is a generator that uses heating water to produce mechanical or rotational energy. The International Energy Agency predicts that worldwide energy consumption will rise by 4.6% by 2021. 

Gaurav Yadav, a senior research analyst at Market.us, said,” The global steam turbine market is expected to grow significantly due to increasing energy demand and investments in capacity expansions. Due to the growing demand for onsite power generation and a positive outlook on steam-intensive industries, the industrial application will increase. The steam turbine market share will grow due to increased application across sugar plants, refineries, and pulp & paper.”

The technology behind steam turbines works by heating water until it becomes steam. This steam then passes through the turbine turning the blades and creating kinetic energy. Depending on the application, this energy can be used directly or converted to electricity. There are three main types of steam turbines: noncondensing, condensing, and impulse-type. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Condensing turbines, for example, are more efficient than those that use noncondensing steam, but they require higher operating temperatures.

The increase in industrial activity around the globe is responsible for the growth of the industrial sector. In industrial applications, steam turbines are used as CHP units. These units are more efficient than single units and can produce multiple outputs. Additionally, the rising demand for steam turbines in industrial power plants has been fueled by frequent power outages and load limits.

CHP units are becoming more popular in different industries due to their higher efficiency than single units. CHP is also a source of direct power, electricity, and heat and has seen a rise in demand in recent years. The market can be divided into three segments based on its capacity: 150 to 300 MW and more than 300 MW.

Steam turbines take longer to start up than reciprocating engines and gas turbines. These factors will limit steam turbines’ use and could hinder the market’s growth.

The steam turbine market will also be affected by the rapid expansion of marine excavation. Due to increased efforts to reduce energy demand, supply gaps, and the current development of thermal power plants, the global steam turbine market will grow in the future. Industry growth may be impeded by stringent government regulations that require the replacement of traditional energy sources with renewables.

The business environment will be boosted by favorable policies that increase power-generating capacity to meet rising electricity demand and reduce demand-supply mismatch.
