Technology (Reaction Turbines, Impulse Turbines)
The reaction turbines segment is predicted to hold 62% share of the global hydro turbine market in the year 2037 owing to the increasing use of reaction turbines in low and medium-head hydropower turbines. Since water pressure in reservoirs varies with water volume, reaction turbines are ideal for use in reservoirs because they provide constant water pressure and water supply for a steady flow. As most hydropower stations use reaction turbines in electricity generation, the increasing number of power mills and hydropower plants across the world is slated to drive segment growth.
Application (Power Generation, Power Storage, Marine, Aeronautics)
The marine segment in the hydro turbine market is expected to garner a significant share of around 46% through 2037 on account of the increasing number of dams and reservoirs across the world. Marine energy technology is crucial in achieving clean energy targets and handling climate change, hence the increasing commercialization of marine energy and increasing awareness of environmentally friendly energy sources in the future is also expected to propel the market segment growth in the coming years. As per the estimations of the International Energy Agency (IEA), it was projected that more than 300 gigawatts of marine energy capacity will be installed by the end of 2050 with an investment of USD 35 billion which will result in a decrease of 500 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per annum.

APAC Market Forecast
Asia Pacific industry is likely to hold largest revenue share of 37% by 2037, The growth of the market can be credited to the presence of a large number of hydropower stations in India, China, and Japan, among other countries, and their high potential for generating hydroelectricity. In China, 1,302.00 TWh of power was generated by hydropower plants in 2019, as per the report by the IHA. Currently, hydropower accounts for 17% of the total electric power capacity of the country.
The increasing preference for hydropower production owing to the fact that it contributes a major portion of the renewable energy sector is estimated to drive market growth.
North American Market Statistics
The hydro turbine market in North America is poised to account for the largest share of 26% by the end of 2037, backed by rising climate concerns amongst the authorities and common people. The increasing number of dams and hydropower plants in the United States and Canada with the growing preference for sustainable energy development and the increasing price of fossil fuels is anticipated to propel the market growth. The increasing need to escalate the power production capacity in the region with flourishing industrialization and urbanization is further expected to promote significant market expansion in the region.
