Market growth is driven by the increasing need for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for aging steam turbine fleets across the power generation, oil & gas, and industrial sectors. As industrial power consumption rises and global energy systems modernize, the demand for efficient turbine performance and reliability continues to increase.
A large share of existing thermal and combined-cycle power plants is operating beyond their designed lifecycle. This has accelerated the need for component upgrades, precision diagnostics, rotor balancing, and periodic overhauls. In addition, digital monitoring technologies, predictive maintenance solutions, and advanced refurbishment techniques are helping operators extend turbine lifespan and improve operational efficiency.
