What is the anticipated CAGR & size of the South Korea Gas Turbine Market?

The South Korea Gas Turbine Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of around 4.09% during the forecast period, 2026-34. Additionally, the market size was valued at nearly USD 354.9 million in 2025 and is projected to reach nearly USD 509.08 million by 2034.

Market Analysis & Insights

The South Korea Gas Turbine Market is being molded by electricity demand shifts, ageing thermal fleets, nuclear ramp-ups, and the increasing role of flexible gas plants for grid balancing. Also, utilities & independent power producers are trading older coal units with high-efficiency combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) while manufacturers supply aeroderivative & heavy-duty units for power, marine and industrial usage. Further, development in data-center and industrial electrification to drive industry demand.

Moreover, government procurement & CCGT projects (e.g., Eumseong) are catalyzing orders for HL-class & comparable turbines, which is creating positive market outlook. Moreover, alloy/component lead times & supply-chain concerns have shortened delivery schedules, growing OEM margins & motivating conservative capacity surges. Also, large corporations (GE Aerospace, Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi/Kawasaki) are outspreading their naval/marine contracts & local alliances, as well as their after-sales service networks & spare parts distribution across Korea.

Additionally, growing adoption is augmenting owing to South Korea Gas Turbine Market innovation in digital performance services, hydrogen co-firing readiness, and low-emission turbines.  Also, the advancement through hydrogen-ready technologies, AI-driven productivity, and sustainable modernization of power generation infrastructure, are foreseen to transform the South Korea Gas Turbine Market’s growth graph in the future years (2026-34).

What is the Impact of AI in the South Korea Gas Turbine Market?

AI & advanced analytics optimize turbine dispatch, predictive maintenance & fuel-mix management, elevating availability & reducing lifecycle expenses. Also, AI assists in accelerating remote condition monitoring & spare-parts planning, supporting quicker fleet turnarounds for utilities & marine operators, influencing competitiveness for gas turbine providers & operators alike.

South Korea Gas Turbine Market Dynamics

What driving factor acts as a positive influencer for the South Korea Gas Turbine Market?

  • Fleet Modernization & Flexible Capacity to Drive Industry Growth: Replacement of ageing thermal plants with effective CCGTs & aeroderivative units to meet flexible-peaking requirements & data-center power demand that fuels OEM orders & service contracts. Also, recent CCGT project pipelines signal swift utility procurement, which eventually elevates the positive market growth.

What are the challenges that affect the South Korea Gas Turbine Market?

  • Shifting Power Mix & Nuclear Growth: Large turbine application rates & return on investment are compressed by augmented nuclear generation & renewables, which also decreases baseload gas usage. Further, in 2024–2025, South Korea's nuclear revival minimized the import of fossil fuels & changed dispatch patterns, which negatively affected the South Korea Gas Turbine Market. Also, owing to this, turbines must offer larger flexibility & lesser minimum loads.
