Steam Turbine Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026

Description

The Global Steam Turbine Market was valued at USD 26.2 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.8% to reach USD 34.9 billion by 2035.

The market's expansion is driven by rising demand for reliable and efficient electricity alongside the construction of new power plants and the modernization of existing energy infrastructure. Steam turbines convert high-pressure steam into rotational mechanical energy, making them integral to industrial power generation. Increasing industrial electricity requirements, widespread adoption of combined heat and power systems, and integration of advanced control technologies are encouraging new turbine installations. The growing need for high-capacity units to support large-scale power generation further reinforces market growth. Industrialization, expansion of heavy manufacturing, and cogeneration integration continue to shape demand patterns. Energy transition policies are influencing deployment, with renewable applications like biomass and geothermal projects offering opportunities for turbines due to their high thermal efficiency and reliability. Sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals, refineries, and district heating increasingly depend on turbines for efficient power and heat management.
