Turboexpander is defined as an axial-flow or a centrifugal turbine used to expand high-pressure gas. This high-pressure gas facilitates the rotation of turbines and is transmitted to the shaft. The energy generated in this process is used to power generators and drive compressors. Generally, turboexpanders have a power range between 750W and 7.5MW. This range roughly equals to 1hp and 10,000hp. The growth of the global turboexpander market can be attributed to the extensive use of turboexpanders in industrial processes as a refrigeration source. The industrial processes include extracting natural gas and ethane gas liquids and liquefaction.

The major growth driver in the global turboexpander market is the increase in the use of natural gas for meeting the needs of power supply. The end users like oil and gas and manufacturing industries are transitioning from traditional sources of energy to energy-efficient sources. This transition is another factor that is fuelling the expansion of the turboexpander market. The boom of the shale gas is also contributing to the expansion of the turboexpander market. In the upcoming years, the increasing use of geothermal energy for power generation is also expected to fuel the demand for the turboexpander market.
 The high cost of installations is one of the restraining factors in the global turboexpander market among several other factors.

The global turboexpander market can be divided based on loading device, application, and end-user. Based on loading device, the global turboexpander market can be divided into generator, compressor, and oil break. On the basis of application, this market can be divided into hydrocarbon and air separation among several others. The hydrocarbon segment is anticipated to show the maximum growth due to its large size and the ability to deliver a diverse power output range. Liquefaction of natural gases and petroleum gases, nitrogen rejection, regasification, FPSO LNG, and dew point control are a few hydrocarbon applications. According to the end-user, the global turboexpander market can be divided into oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing.

Based on regions, the global turboexpander market can be divided into five main regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the largest turboexpander market in the upcoming years. This growth is due to the fact that developing economies, such as India and China, are making investments in refineries and concentrating on expanding the production of natural gas. Another factor fuelling the expansion of the turboexpander market in China is the rise in demand of turboexpanders. Thus, China is expected to hold a substantial market share of the global turboexpander market in the Asia Pacific region. The turboexpander market in the Middle East and North America is anticipated to grow in the future owing to the focus of oil and gas companies on increasing their production of natural gas.
