A hydro turbine is a mechanical device that converts the kinetic and potential energy of flowing or falling water into spinning mechanical energy, which is then used to generate electricity. Hydro turbines are an important component of hydropower systems, and they are frequently found in dams or on fast-flowing rivers. These turbines operate by capturing the energy in water as it moves from higher to lower elevations, which is a fundamental hydrodynamic and physics process. There are two types of hydro turbines: impulse turbines and reaction turbines. Impulse turbines, such as Pelton wheels, are designed for high-head, low-flow circumstances. Reaction turbines, like the Francis and Kaplan turbines, work differently. These turbines are designed for low-head and high-flow applications.
According to SPER Market Research, ‘United States Hydro Turbine Market Size- By Size - Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecast to 2033’ states that the United States Hydro Turbine Market is estimated to reach USD XX billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 2.25%.
Drivers: Several factors are driving growth in the US hydro turbine market. To begin, the increasing use of renewable energy to meet emissions reduction targets has prompted renewed interest in expanding hydroelectric capacity. Hydropower is a significant source of renewable energy in the United States, and the country has vast untapped water resources with the potential for further hydropower projects. The dominance of reaction turbines, particularly Francis and Kaplan turbines, drives market expansion. These turbines are efficient at producing energy from low water heads and are commonly used in existing hydropower projects. For example, many turbines of the Grand Coulee Dam, the largest hydroelectric facility in the United States, use response technology, and future projects like Xcel Energy's pumped-storage hydropower scheme are expected to continue.

Restraints: The irrelevant infrastructure of many existing hydropower facilities in the United States poses a challenge to the country's hydroturbine sector. Many buildings are decades old and require extensive repairs or retrofits to remain operational and fulfill modern environmental standards. The significant financial expenditure necessary to repair older plants may discourage operators and investors, limiting future hydroelectric capacity expansion. Technological limitations also constrain the market, particularly in the case of pumped storage hydropower (PSH). While PSH offers enormous potential for energy storage, which is crucial for balancing the grid with intermittent renewable energy, its high initial prices and lengthy building timelines make it less appealing than other energy storage options such as batteries. PSH projects face technical and budgetary constraints.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the US hydroturbine industry, mostly owing to supply chain bottlenecks, project delays, and lower energy demand. As lockdowns were implemented across the United States, energy consumption in both renewable and non-renewable sectors plummeted dramatically, especially in the early months of the pandemic. Hydropower, which relies on consistent energy usage, was significantly impacted as industries and businesses reduced operations, and transit of hydro turbine components was delayed due to shipping and border restrictions. One of the most severe impacts was the suspension of hydropower projects that were under construction. Many hydroelectric projects were significantly delayed due to community estrangement and site access limitations.
