Synchronous Condenser Global Market Report 2025

The synchronous condenser market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.08 billion in 2024 to $1.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%.The growth during the historic period can be credited to higher investments in modernizing power infrastructure, increasing energy consumption in developing nations, growing electricity demand driven by urbanization, a greater need for inertia in low-carbon power systems, and enhanced government support for grid stability initiatives.

The synchronous condenser market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%.The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing adoption of renewable energy sources, an increasing need for grid stability and frequency regulation, rising investments in power infrastructure, a higher demand for energy storage solutions, and a surge in demand for reactive power compensation. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in energy storage technologies, the development of advanced grid integration solutions, innovations in synchronous condenser design, the integration of artificial intelligence for monitoring, and continued innovation in power grid stability solutions.

The growing demand for renewable energy sources is anticipated to drive the expansion of the synchronous condenser market in the coming years. Renewable energy sources are naturally replenishing resources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass used for sustainable energy generation. This increasing reliance on renewables is largely due to efforts aimed at lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing dependence on fossil fuels, thereby addressing climate change, improving energy security, and promoting sustainable development. Synchronous condensers contribute to grid stability by supplying reactive power and regulating voltage, which facilitates the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the grid. For example, in December 2024, Eurostat, a government agency based in Luxembourg, reported that renewable energy accounted for 24.5% of energy consumption in the EU in 2023, up from 23% in 2022. Thus, the growing demand for renewable energy sources is boosting the synchronous condenser market.

Leading players in the synchronous condenser market are concentrating on creating advanced products such as high-efficiency, compact systems with improved grid stabilization features to facilitate renewable energy integration and enhance grid reliability. These systems offer benefits such as better energy efficiency, reduced space needs, and consistent grid performance amid fluctuating renewable energy inputs. For instance, in June 2024, ANDRITZ AG, an Austria-based industrial machinery company, introduced synchronous condensers in India, a major initiative aimed at improving grid stability and supporting the country's renewable energy transition. The launch event, titled “Synchronous Condensers - Enabling Green Energy Transition,” was attended by senior representatives from prominent Indian power sector organizations including the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Grid India, and the Northern Regional Power Committee (NRPC). ANDRITZ emphasized the rising global demand for synchronous condenser technology, which plays a vital role in stabilizing power systems by managing voltage and reactive power, particularly as countries like India integrate more wind and solar energy.

In August 2022, Baker Hughes Holdings LLC, a U.S.-based energy company, acquired the power generation division of BRUSH Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Baker Hughes’ electrification capabilities and broaden its turbomachinery offerings by incorporating proven electric power technologies, aligning with its strategic aim to provide cleaner energy solutions for industrial and energy sectors. BRUSH Group, based in Loughborough, specializes in manufacturing appliances and electrical components, including synchronous condensers.

A synchronous condenser is a rotating electrical device used to deliver reactive power support and regulate voltage within power transmission systems. It plays a crucial role in grid stabilization by enhancing the power factor and managing load demand variations.

The primary types of synchronous condensers include new and refurbished units. A new synchronous condenser is a state-of-the-art electrical machine designed to provide reactive power support, stabilizing voltage and enhancing power quality in advanced power grids. Starting methods for these machines include static frequency converters, pony motors, and other techniques. They are available with various cooling systems, such as hydrogen-cooled, air-cooled, and water-cooled options. Reactive power capacities are typically categorized as up to 100 mega volt-amperes reactive (MVAR), between 100-200 MVAR, and above 200 MVAR. These condensers are utilized by a range of end-users, including utilities, industrial sectors, renewable energy companies, and others.
