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 challenged 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 is increasing the reliance on natural gas. With low natural gas prices at present, this reliance appears less risky. However, historical trends suggest that increasing demand and potential crude oil price recovery could lead to significant price hikes. This would result in increased utility costs, followed by higher power prices for consumers. 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, could negatively impact the use of natural gas in gas-based power plants and, consequently, hinder 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 the shift towards renewable energy sources like wind and solar are pushing utilities to reconsider their reliance on oil and gas. Population growth and urbanization require more power, but transmission and distribution losses limit the effectiveness of traditional power plants. Offshore locations offer potential solutions, but present unique challenges such as harsh environments and logistical complexities. Combined cycle turbines, a popular choice for efficiency and fuel flexibility, require specialized components like combustors, gas compressors, turbines, and turbo fans. Workforce and supply chain issues can impact power plant projects, while investment issues and international borders add complications. Experts predict a future where cooling technologies, materials, and combustion systems will be crucial. Fuel consumption and operating costs are key concerns for utility segments, with coal plants facing increasing pressure. Gas prices, CCS, hydrogen-fueled gas, and materials and diagnostics are all areas of focus for improving efficiency levels and reducing NOx emissions. Reliability remains a top priority, with machinery and power generation equipment under constant scrutiny. Joint ventures between companies like Aksa Power and Siemens Energy are driving innovation in this sector.
