By technology segment, the open cycle is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The Open Cycle segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the natural gas power generation market due to its quick start-up and shut-down capabilities, making it ideal for meeting peak electricity demand and supporting grid stability. Its relatively lower capital expenditure compared to combined-cycle plants enables faster deployment and flexible operation. Technological improvements in aeroderivative and small-scale gas turbines enhance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Additionally, the growing integration of intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, is driving demand for open-cycle plants as reliable peaking and backup power solutions.
By power output segment, the 201–500 MW segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The 201–500 MW power output segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the natural gas power generation market due to its optimal balance between scale and flexibility. Plants within this range can efficiently serve regional grids, industrial zones, and urban centers without the high capital requirements of larger projects. They offer faster deployment, lower operational complexity, and adaptability to fluctuating demand. Technological advancements in mid-sized combined-cycle and open-cycle turbines further improve efficiency and emissions performance. Additionally, the increasing integration of renewable energy sources drives the need for mid-sized plants to provide reliable backup and grid-stabilizing support.
By region, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period.
In the natural gas power generation market, Asia Pacific is poised to emerge as the fastest-growing region through 2030, propelled by a confluence of innovative drivers. Surging electricity demand from data centers and AI-driven digital economies in China and India is accelerating gas adoption for reliable baseload power. Extreme weather events, including 2024 heatwaves, are intensifying cooling needs and grid resilience requirements. Policy shifts, such as China’s coal-to-gas conversions and the Philippines’ tax incentives for LNG development, are fostering cleaner transitions. Enhanced regional LNG imports and pipeline expansions in ASEAN nations further enable flexible integration with renewables, curbing emissions while supporting industrialization.
