Market Driver

The global gas turbines market for the power industry is driven by stringent carbon emission regulations and the need for lower power generating costs. Major manufacturers, such as General Electric Co. And Siemens AG, are investing heavily in the development of high-efficiency gas turbines to meet these demands. The 9HA/7HA-series CCGT developed by General Electric Power and Water division and Siemens' SGT5-8000H have more than 60% efficiency levels in a combined cycle configuration, making them H-class gas turbines. Manufacturers like GE aim for even higher efficiency levels, targeting 65% in the future. They are focusing on advanced coatings for turbine blades to increase metal reliability at high temperatures and improve efficiency. Fuel flexibility is another key focus area, as fuel compositions vary across regions. For instance, crude oil is prominent in the Middle East, while natural gas is popular in the US. Durability is crucial, as operational failures and consequent downtime for maintenance and service cause significant financial losses. Modern gas turbines offer increased durability, with a typical F-class turbine operating for 24,000 hours before a scheduled inspection, expected to increase to 25,000 hours with H-class turbines. Technological innovations in gas turbines will positively impact market growth during the forecast period.

Market Challenges

• The global gas turbines market for the power industry is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing shift towards cleaner modes of power generation. However, the market's expansion is being hindered by the volatility of natural gas prices. Utilities aim to maintain a balanced feedstock portfolio to protect power prices from price fluctuations. However, the rising trend of natural gas-driven power plants increases the reliance on natural gas. With historically unstable natural gas prices, over-reliance on this fuel source could expose consumers to high prices. The U.S. Benchmark Henry Hub natural gas price averaged USD2.57 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2023, while India's domestic natural gas price was USD 8.47 per million metric British thermal unit (mmBtu) in the same year. Natural gas price volatility, caused by production and consumption imbalances, may discourage the use of natural gas in gas-based power plants, negatively impacting the growth of the global gas turbines market for the power industry during the forecast period.
• In the power industry, gas turbines face challenges from various fronts. Climate change and lockdowns push for more renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Population growth and urbanization increase power demand, particularly in offshore locations. Oil and gas prices impact utility segment profitability. Combined cycle turbines, a popular choice, require reliable transmission and distribution systems to minimize losses. Coal plants face closure due to environmental concerns. Workforce and supply chain issues hinder power plant projects. Joint ventures between companies like Aksa Power and Siemens Energy innovate with combustor, gas compressor, turbine, and turbo fan technology. Cooling technologies, materials, and diagnostics ensure machinery reliability. Operating costs, fuel consumption, and efficiency levels are key concerns. NOx emissions require CCS and hydrogen-fueled gas solutions. Investment issues, international borders, and travel restrictions add complexity. Experts explore steam turbines, efficiency levels, and materials to optimize power generation equipment.
