The thermal power plant market involves technologies and equipment utilized in conventional steam cycle power plants where heat energy is converted to electric power. Thermal power plants use various fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, fuel oil to heat water and produce steam that powers steam turbines which activates an alternator to generate electricity. Thermal power plants provide reliable baseload power and are scalable to effectively meet bulk power demands of industrial and urban areas. However, emissions from burning of fossil fuels has led to increased adoption of efficient supercritical and ultra-supercritical technologies to reduce carbon footprint. Introduction of advanced controls and automation helps achieve higher plant load factors and reduce downtime.

The Global Thermal Power Plant Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,532.34 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period 2024 To 2031.
