Gas turbines are used in electrical generators, pumps, gas compressors, ships, trains, power aircraft and power generation. It is operated on the Brayton cycle and is comprised of three main components: compressor, combustor, power turbine in which compressed air is mixed with fuel and burned under constant pressure condition to produce hot gases which will spin the turbine for power generation. Gas turbine uses flammable gas or light distillate petroleum products including petrol, kerosene and diesel. A simple cycle gas turbine can achieve energy efficiencies ranging between 20% to 35% and hydrogen and syngas fired gas turbine combined cycle with higher temperature archives efficiency of 80%. The time at which gas turbine should be subjected to the long-term evaluation analysis varies between 12 and 25 years. The first gas turbine was installed in the Cambridge power station for the street light scheme in 1895 by Charles Parsons. The growth of the gas turbine has been exponentially growing from the year 1930 with the emergence of the innovative design of centrifugal gas turbine for jet propulsion.

General Electric Company occupied a prominent share of 49% followed by Siemens AG with 29% of market share, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) Ltd. accounted for 11% of total share, Ansaldo STS (A Hitachi Group Company) acquired 8% of market share and others market share was valued to be 3% share in the gas turbine market in 2017. Natural gas price volatility, gas turbine need for high speed & high operating temperatures, preference of constant rather than a fluctuating load are bolstering the market growth. Increasing pressure & shifting focus towards the low-cost renewable energy like solar & wind and availability of advanced turbines are likely to enhance the market growth in the coming years. Gas turbine utilisation in power plants have disadvantages including difficulties in starting of an electrical motor or an IC engine, moving the compressor towards operating speed and low efficiency on two-thirds of total power output to drive the compressor. These are the major factors which are hampering the gas turbine market growth.

According to the Envision Intelligence LLP market report on global gas turbine market, global gas turbines market size was valued at $17.24 billion in 2017, and it is projected to reach $22.01 billion by 2025 with a CAGR of nearly 4.02% during the forecast period 2019-2025. This growth is attributed primarily owing to the increasing demand for gas-based power generation, growing requirements for clean power generating assets and emerging government initiatives on carbon dioxide emission reductions and so on are the factors driving the growth of the gas turbine market. Growing trends of distributed power generation and replacement of phase out nuclear & coal plants are turning out as an emerging opportunity and are likely to amplify the market growth during the next couple of decades.

According to gas turbine market overview by Envision Inteligence, power sector leads the market owing to rapid growth in the population & growing technological civilisation which gradually leads to increasing demand for the electricity and availability efficient power generation technologies. The gas turbine is contributing their significant parts with advantages in the ease of installation, smooth running, compact size, less weight leading to the less initial expenses per unit output and uses less water consumption.
