Gas Turbine Market Report:the global Gas Turbine market size is projected to reach USD 30.15 billion by 2031
A gas turbine is a type of internal combustion engine. Essentially, the engine can be viewed as an energy conversion device that converts energy stored in the fuel to useful mechanical energy in the form of rotational power. The term “gas” refers to the ambient air that is taken into the engine and used as the working medium in the energy conversion process.
This air is first drawn into the engine where it is compressed, mixed with fuel and ignited. The resulting hot gas expands at a high velocity through a series of airfoil-shaped blades transferring energy created from combustion to turn an output shaft. The residual thermal energy in the hot exhaust gas can be harnessed for a variety of industrial processes.

According to QYResearch Top Players Research Center, the global key manufacturers of Gas Turbine include GE Vernova, Siemens Energy, MHPS, Dongfang Electric Corporation, Solar Turbines, Baker Hughes, Ansaldo, Kawasaki, BHEL, etc. In 2024, the global top five players had a share approximately 79.0% in terms of revenue.
In terms of product type, currently Heavy Duty Gas Turbine is the largest segment, hold a share of 77.2%, primarily used in large-scale power plants. Aeroderivative Gas Turbines with strong growth due to their flexibility and suitability for distributed generation and oil & gas operations.
In terms of product application, currently Power Generation is the largest segment, hold a share of 73.6%. Gas turbines are widely used in both base-load and peak-load power plants due to their high efficiency, fast start-up capabilities, and lower emissions compared to coal-fired units. In many regions, especially in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the U.S., governments and utilities are investing in combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants to replace aging coal infrastructure and meet cleaner energy targets. Additionally, the increasing integration of renewable energy sources is driving demand for gas turbines as flexible backup solutions to ensure grid stability.
Gas Turbine Market Dynamics
Market Drivers:
Growing Electricity Demand: Rising global energy consumption—especially in emerging economies—drives investment in gas-based power plants.
Shift Toward Cleaner Power Generation: Compared to coal, gas turbines emit less CO₂ and are increasingly used as a transitional technology in decarbonization strategies.
Expansion of Industrial and Oil & Gas Operations: Gas turbines are critical for mechanical drive applications (e.g., pipeline compression, LNG facilities).
Restraint:
Competition from Renewables: Rapid cost declines in wind and solar energy reduce the share of gas turbines in new power capacity additions.
Volatility in Natural Gas Prices: Fluctuating fuel costs impact the economics of gas turbine power plants.
High Capital Investment: Large-scale combined-cycle and aeroderivative turbine installations require substantial upfront costs.
Opportunity:
Replacement & Modernization: Aging fleets of gas turbines in North America and Europe require upgrades, retrofits, and efficiency improvements.
Distributed Energy & Microgrids: Smaller gas turbines and CHP (combined heat and power) solutions for localized power and industrial processes.
