The power generation market size has witnessed strong growth in recent years, surging from $1913.99 billion in 2023 to $2054.27 billion in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The historic period's growth is attributed to the rise in power consumption, government initiatives for energy infrastructure, emergence of economies, technological advancements, and market liberalization. Looking ahead, the market is poised for strong growth, projected to reach $2683.48 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 6.9%. Factors driving this growth include expansion in the industrial sector, increasing demand for electricity, rising investments, and the growing use of electricity in transportation. Major trends in the forecast period encompass changes in business models of electric utilities, adoption of batteries for energy storage, integration of digital technologies in power generation, development of solar tracking mounts, deployment of advanced ultra-supercritical solutions, enhancements in power plant transmissions, and innovations in waste-to-energy technologies.

Global Power Generation Market Key Driver

The escalating applications of electricity in the transportation sector are poised to boost the demand for electricity, propelling the power generation market. In underdeveloped and developing nations, the electrification of railways, coupled with the establishment of public transportation networks like rapid metro transit systems, presents significant opportunities for power generation companies. Notably, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) in the UK estimates that to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, approximately 13,000 track kilometers – equivalent to 450km per year – need to be electrified, with 179 km already electrified between 2020 and 2021. Meanwhile, the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) anticipates that electric vehicle sales in the USA will exceed 1.2 million by 2025. By 2050, electric vehicles are predicted to contribute 9% to the global electricity demand.
