Global Turbo Expanders Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global turbo expanders market size reached US$ 332.6 Million in 2022. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 502.0 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.10% during 2022-2028.

Turbo expanders are centrifugal or axial flow turbines through which a high-pressure gas drives a generator or compressor. They are widely utilized in the gas supply chain, energy recovery, and power generation during natural gas processing and petrochemical applications. They are also used in industrial processes to produce refrigerants for the liquefaction of gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and helium. Presently, several manufacturers are offering turbo expanders incorporated with computer-aided tools, such as finite-element analyses (FEA), computer numerical control (CNC) machining, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). These turbo expanders offer enhanced design and key features, such as compressor stage, maximized efficiency, and improved reliability.

Turbo Expanders Market Trends

In oil and gas facilities, turbo expander systems are extensively utilized in dew-point control (DPC), nitrogen rejection, pressure let-down, and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). They optimize power generation potential and efficiency and facilitate the production of natural gas liquids (NGL) by removing ethane and heavy hydrocarbons like gasoline blends from natural gas. This, in confluence with surging energy needs and rapid rise in the installation of turbo expanders in offshore oil production sites, represents one of the key factors fueling the market growth. Apart from this, leading manufacturers are using sophisticated techniques to develop modern multilink turbo expanders that can adjust inlet guide vanes (IGVs) for precision flow control and minimal actuating forces. Furthermore, due to a shift in consumer preferences towards carbon-neutrality and economic efficiency, these manufacturers are offering customized products for complex industrial processes, which is driving the market. These products can be used in a broad range of applications, such as nitric acid, terephthalic acid, gasification, and blast furnace top gas recovery plants.
