Gas Turbines Global Overview
Definition
Summary
Gas turbines are a type of internal combustion engine where atmospheric air is compressed and then ignited using fuel to produce high-pressure gas that creates rotational pressure on turbine blades. This pressure is then converted into electrical energy with a generator for power generation applications. Gas turbines also power machinery such as aircraft and oil and gas equipment. In these applications, the mechanical energy from gas turbines produces horsepower or thrust. Suppliers include manufacturers, and major buyers include energy companies, commercial building developers, commercial airline operators and the military.

Global Gas Turbines Procurement Trends
Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global Gas Turbines market.
Warning Trends
Tariffs may drive up prices and lead times for electrical equipment
- On April 9, the Trump Administration paused the implementation of country-specific tariffs and replaced them with 10.0% blanket tariffs on all imports. Additionally, the administration hiked tariff rates against Chinese imports to 145.0%.
- The US power generation and distribution sector is highly reliant on imports, with imports of electrical equipment accounting for an estimated 56.7% of annual domestic consumption.
- Due to the complexity of most power generation and distribution machinery, most components or raw materials included in these products originate outside the United States, even if the finished machinery is assembled domestically.
- Due to this reliance on imports, the Yale Budget Lab currently estimates that tariffs will increase electrical equipment prices will increase by 4.2% on average.
- Further, tariffs present complications for the long, often multinational production cycles common for more complex electrical equipment, leading American Electric Power and other energy sector leaders to warn of shortages and increased lead times for electric equipment.
Increase in tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports to impact machinery industry
- On March 4, 2025, the United States imposed a 25.0% tariff on goods imported from Canada, which applies in addition to other duties or fees that are in place, with limited exceptions for machinery products. However, as of March 6, 2025, all goods compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be exempt from tariffs until April 2, 2025.
- After the tariff took effect, Canada immediately imposed 25.0% tariffs on goods imported from the United States. Mexico also announced plans to impose retaliatory tariffs and non-tariff measures on imports from the United States later this month.
- On March 12, the United States raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all countries to 25.0%, including Canada and Mexico.
- According to the US International Trade Commission, the top US imports from Canada in 2023 were petroleum products, metals, and machinery. Bank of America analysts report that industrial machinery manufacturers, such as Caterpillar and John Deere, which are sensitive to commodity costs and global supply disruptions could face disruptions as a result of tariffs.
- Tariffs on imported Canadian and Mexican goods are expected to increase equipment and machinery prices, and retaliatory tariffs are expected to disrupt domestic suppliers. Tariffs are also expected to create supply chain disruptions as restructuring occurs.
United States imposes sweeping tariffs on Canada and Mexico
- In February 2025, the United States announced 25.0% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, which took effect on March 4, 2025.
- The tariff by the United States applies to all merchandise imported for consumption and applies in addition to other duties or fees that are in place. However, imported goods covered under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be exempt from tariffs until April 2, 2025.
- After the tariff took effect, Canada immediately imposed 25.0% tariffs on goods imported from the United States. Mexico also announced plans to impose retaliatory tariffs and non-tariff measures on imports from the United States later this month.
- On March 12, the United States raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all countries to 25.0%, including Canada and Mexico.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
The average financial risk among suppliers is moderate but can vary depending on different factors. In general, larger suppliers that have a broader portfolio of products and services and that serve a more comprehensive range of industries have lower financial risk while smaller suppliers are more susceptible to revenue volatility because a drop in demand from one or more key customers would be relatively detrimental to their business.
The moderate level of specialization in this market acts as a barrier to entry for prospective suppliers, thereby supporting high market share concentration. High market share concentration hurts buyer power by limiting the pool of available suppliers, thus giving buyers less leverage in the negotiation process.
The gas turbine market has a medium level of supply chain risk, which stems primarily from suppliers’ reliance on steel, aluminum, titanium and other metals and metal alloys. Volatile input costs increase uncertainty in suppliers’ production costs, leading to unstable pricing trends for buyers of gas turbines.
The United States is a net exporter of gas turbines, meaning it exports more gas turbines than it imports. This fact often means that US buyers have access to a wide range of domestic manufacturers, allowing them to focus procurement strategies on negotiating better terms and prices, while also reducing complexities and logistics costs associated with international trade.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Gas Turbines Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Order Value and Current Ratio (Assets/Liabilities). Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Accuracy and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Order Value | Total revenue Number of orders | The average order value in the gas turbine market indicates the typical investment made by buyers, which often includes the cost of the turbine, associated equipment, and installation services. This KPI can help buyers compare the pricing strategies of different suppliers and evaluate their willingness to pay for a specific gas turbine solution, considering factors such as efficiency, power output, and technological advances. The average order value can be used to evaluate a company’s reputation. The average order value can be used to assess a company’s ability to provide large volumes of product. | |
| Current Ratio (Assets/Liabilities) | Current assets Current liabilities | The current ratio in the gas turbine market reflects a supplier's financial stability and capability to meet short-term financial obligations, which is essential for buyers addressing project risks and securing reliable partnerships. The current ratio can be used to determine a company’s ability to pay its short-term obligations. A supplier's current ratio can be analyzed to determine their ability to utilize their current assets to satisfy potential claims or support requirements, such as warranty coverage or maintenance services, on gas turbine projects. | |
