Steam Turbine Market Segment Insights
On the basis of designs, the market is bifurcated into reaction and impulse. The impulse segment holds a key share of the market, due to its compact size and low operational and maintenance cost. High efficiency as compared to reaction turbine makes the impulse steam turbine suitable for large scale power generation.
In terms of rated capacity, the steam turbine market is classified as 1-120 MW, 121-350 MW, 351-750 MW, and above 750 MW. The 1-120 MW segment holds major share of the market due to growing adoption of super-critical and ultra-super-critical technology of 1-120MW and conversion of retiring power stations into combined cycle systems.
Based on applications, the market is classified into power generation, petrochemical, oil & gas, and others. The power generation segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period due to its high use in power generation in industries.
On the basis of regions, the global steam turbine market is fragmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific accounted for key share of the market in 2020. China and India held key share of the market in the region due to rapid growth of industries in these countries.
Asia Pacific region is expected to continue its domination owning to the presence of a large number of fossil fuel-based power plants under development in countries such as South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh, and Japan. The market in Europe is anticipated to expand at a sluggish pace during the forecast period due to the rise in the deployment of biomass power plants, waste energy plants, and waste heat recovery power generation plants in the region.
