Rising Demand from APAC to Propel Global Turbines Market

Turbines are a device used in power generation plants and consist of a rotor assembly fixed to a set of blades. Various fluids are focused upon the blades of a turbine in power plants. The motion of the fluids transfers energy to the rotors, which are attached to a generator. Owing to their ease of operation, turbines are now important in many energy generation mechanisms.

Rising Demand for Electricity Drives Global Turbines Market
 
The primary driver for the turbines market is the increasing need for electricity. The increase in the global demand for electricity is driven by the increase in the global population in recent decades. The high rate of urbanization and industrialization around the world has also boosted the global turbines market. Urban infrastructure and industrial setups require energy virtually constantly, which has indirectly led to the rising demand for turbines. The increasing utilization of wind energy generation has also given a strong boost to the global turbines market. Generation of energy from wind has minimal effect on the environment, making it an environmentally feasible source of alternative energy.

On the flip side of the coin, the environmental impact of the production of the turbines themselves is a more prominent factor affecting the global turbines market. Due to this, fabricating compounds that do not harm the environment and can be used in turbines has emerged as a promising research avenue in the global turbines industry.

Steam Turbines Major Product Segment, Asia Pacific Major Regional Segment of Global Market

Steam turbines are the dominant category in the global turbines market. They have held this position for the last few decades and are likely to remain in the driving seat in the near future. Energy generation from several sources consists of the energy source being used to heat water. The steam coming from the boiling water operates the turbine. Thus, steam turbines are important in several energy generation mechanisms.

On the basis of geography, Asia Pacific held a 40% share in the global market for turbines in 2013. The dominant share of the region can be attributed to the initiation of numerous massive energy generation projects in dynamic economies such as China.

Flourishing Renewable Energy Sector Propels Global Turbines Market

Turbines are machines that are used for extracting energy from several types of flows such as gas, steam, water, and wind, and converting it into usable forms of energy such as electricity. Some of the common types of turbines are windmills and waterwheels used for generating energy. Turbines are installed at several places to harness wind and tidal energy to generate electricity. In recent times, offshore windmill installation is observed to be a growing trend due to the consistent wind supply at several locations.

The types of turbines sold in the global turbines market are hydropower turbines, steam turbines, gas-based turbines, wind turbines, and nuclear turbines. The end users of these turbines are power generation companies, power storage units, the marine industry, and the aeronautics industry. Geographically, this market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. Some of the top players operating in the global turbines market are Alstom S.A., Siemens Energy, General Electric Energy, Vestas Wind Systems A/S, Ballard Power Systems Inc., Ltd.., Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd., and Sinovel Wind Group Co.

Siemens Agrees Deal with Mapna to Deliver 20 Gas Turbines

Reuters recently reported that Siemens signed an agreement with Mapna, an Iranian power and infrastructure group, to work on rail infrastructure in Iran. Under this agreement, Mapna will bring the technology of manufacturing Siemens F-class gas turbines to Iran. Furthermore, the collaboration will work towards delivering over 20 gas turbines and related generators in the coming decade. Such efforts by top players in the global turbines market are expected to propel the market as well as change the perspective on the energy solutions sought by nations across the world.

Global Turbines Market to Reach US$191.9 bn by 2020

According to a research report published by Transparency Market Research, the global turbine market was valued at US$135.7 bn in 2013. Analysts predict that this market will rise at a CAGR of 4.89% from 2014 to 2020 to reach US$191.9 bn by 2020. This growth will be attributable to the consistent power shortages and the mounting pressure on governments across the world to cater to the growing demand for energy from households and industries.

Growing Demand for Energy in Asia Pacific to Fuel Turbines Market

The global turbines market will also be fueled by new power plants being commissioned with steam and gas turbines. Furthermore, the flourishing renewable energy sector, as nations realize the urgency of diversifying energy portfolios and adopt renewable energy technologies, is also giving a push to the global turbines market. The global turbines market will also be fueled by the growing Asia Pacific market, which is being led by the emerging economies of China and India. In the coming years, the shifting perspective towards energy mixes and renewable energy solutions will define the pace of the global turbines market and its future in the larger scheme of things.
