Growth Drivers
Growing Industrialization – On account of the increasing industrial activities across the globe, the demand for energy-intensive activities such as manufacturing, mining, and transportation also increases, which in turn is expected to expand more in the upcoming years. As of 2023, India's industrial production increased by an average of 6%.
Rising Demand for Electricity – It is expected that as the world's population continues to grow, the demand for energy also increases. Increased population increases the need for electricity to run homes, companies, and industries. The global demand for energy is increasing by over 1% per year, reaching nearly 50% of this sector by 2050.
Increasing Greenhouse Gas Emissions – The increasing air pollution across the globe is anticipated to drive market growth. Further, there is a rising need for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources as people become more conscious of the damaging effects of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment. According to the most recent data, in the U.S. carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy increased by over 290 million metric tonnes in 2021.
Growing Urbanization – It is expected as more people are moving to urban areas the demand for energy to power buildings, transportation systems, and other infrastructure in the cities has increased, which is anticipated to drive market growth. By 2050, more than 65% of the world's population, is anticipated to reside in cities.
Challenges
The global power generation technologies market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into steam turbine, diesel generator, nuclear reactor, solar power, micro CHP, and others. Out of the six types of power generation technologies, the steam turbine segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for energy. To address the rising demand for energy, developing nations are turning more and more to steam turbines, as it is an effective approach to satisfy this need. In addition, the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy by steam turbines is quite effective, since they can transform up to 90% of the heat energy into mechanical energy, which makes them a desirable alternative for generating electricity. On the account of rise in world population, it is predicted that the demand for energy would increase globally by more than 40% over the next 20 years.
The global power generation technologies market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into residential, industrial, and commercial. Amongst these three segments, the industrial segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. To satisfy the demand for energy, the industrial sector makes use of a variety of power generation technologies. For instance, by harnessing the power of steam, steam turbines are utilized to produce energy in industrial settings. Besides this, CHP systems are frequently utilized in industrial settings, such as manufacturing factories, where there is a large need for both power and heat. This, as a result, is anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the segment in the coming years.

Envision Group collaborated with Analog Devices, Inc., to allow new levels of wind turbine safety by improving real-time monitoring of vibration, tilt, and other information that may be utilized to guide safer windmill operation and construction.
DuPont de Nemours, Inc. acquired Rogers Corporation to strengthen its position in innovative materials. Further, these efforts will also accelerate top-line growth, strengthen operating EBITDA margins, and significantly improve cross-cycle earnings stability.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
