Turbo Expander Market by Loading Devices (Compressor, Generator, and Hydraulic Brake), End-user Industries (Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Energy Recovery, and Other End-user Industries), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028

The turbo expander market size is expected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing reliance on natural gas-based power generation.
 

A turbo expander is a single-shaft device that combines a compressor with an expander. The compression unit is driven by the expansion unit, which is linked to it by a single shaft. Turbo expanders convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy by sending compressed and expanded gases via turbines. Turbo expanders are most often employed in cryogenic applications including petrochemicals, natural gas, and pharmaceuticals. Turbo expanders are used in most sectors to boost production by increasing isentropic efficiency.

In 2018, gas-fired power generation grew by 4%, owing to a significant expansion in the United States and China. More than 1,500 GW of new gas-fired power production capacity is anticipated to be added to the global power network by 2040, bringing the total installed capacity of gas-fired power plants to over 2,000 GW. Since 2011, Japan has replaced a large portion of its nuclear power production capacity with LNG-fired facilities.

China's gas to power strategy seeks to raise natural gas's market share in the country's overall power production mix from 3.1 per cent in 2018 to 10% by 2020 and 15% by 2030.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Growing demand from the oil and gas sector is projected to boost market growth during the forecast period.
• Growing usage of turbo expanders as a refrigeration source in industrial operations is anticipated to drive market expansion in the coming years.
