Plant Fuel (Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear)
The global steam turbine MRO market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by plant fuel into coal, natural gas, and nuclear. Out of the three types, the natural gas segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about ~38% in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising adoption of sustainable energy production. The increasing concern about greenhouse emissions across the world is expected to fuel market growth in the coming years. Also, the escalating use of natural gas for power generation is fueling the growth of the market. The applications of natural gas turbines for water heating in industries are propelling the market segment growth. The rising oil and gas industry is estimated to increase the use of small steam turbines fueling the market growth. The worldwide oil and gas industry was estimated to increase from USD 7000 billion in 2022 to USD 7300 billion in 2023 as per the reports.
Service Provider (Original Equipment Manufacturers, Independent Service Providers, In-House)
The market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by the service provider into original equipment manufacturers, independent service providers, and in-house. Amongst these three segments, the original equipment manufacturers segment is expected to garner a significant share of around ~46% in the year 2035. The growth of the market segment is attributed to the long-term agreements made with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and power producers. The high knowledge of the OEMs as they develop the equipment part by part is estimated to hike the market segment growth. The OEMs have more concentration on business-to-business sales rather than other general public is expected to propel the market segment growth. The quick response and less time to identify and repair any damage are also anticipated to hike the growth of the market segment. The availability and use of original parts for a good value are projected to have a positive impact on the market segment growth.

North American Market Forecast
The market share of steam turbine MRO in North America, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to be the largest with a share of about ~33% by the end of 2035. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the growing number of steam turbines across the region. The growing applications in combined heat and power systems are also estimated to propel the market growth. The increasing use of steam turbines is attributed to the fact that the by-product of steam turbines generates electricity which increases the efficiency and benefits high electricity consumption of the region thereby it is estimated to propel the market growth during the forecast period. The worldwide steam turbine sector was worth more than USD 16 billion in 2021 and is expected to increase to USD 17 billion in 2022. The increasing preference for renewable energy sources across the region with rising government policies to reduce carbon footprint is estimated to hike the market growth in the coming years. The increasing structural deterioration of steam turbines with high-strain cycles owing to long working hours is estimated to drive the market growth of steam turbine MRO. The occurrence of corrosion caused by the mechanical load during the service period owing to environmental changes is also estimated to fuel the growth of the market.
APAC Market Statistics
The Asia Pacific steam turbine MRO market is estimated to be the second largest, registering a share of about ~26% by the end of 2035. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing presence of thermal coal plants across the region. Also, the loosening of bearings and blockage of nozzles over some time is driving the market growth in the coming years as per the market analysis. The rising adoption of combined cycle natural gas plants for energy sources in the region is anticipated to promote market growth in the coming years. Further, the preference for renewable sources of energy production among people and the government to develop a clean future for the upcoming generations of the region is also expected to have a huge positive impact on the growth of the market.
