The global organic rankine cycle market was estimated at USD 415.23 million in 2021 and it is expected to surpass around USD 1.16 billion by 2030, poised to grow at a CAGR of 12.09% from 2022 to 2030
A rise in the adoption of renewable energy in countries such as the U.S., China, Germany, and Canada is making supporting regulations and providing financial incentives for the deployment of renewable energy. Financial incentives such as feed-in-tariff, subsidies, and tax benefits are some of the major tools utilized by countries around the world to attract investment in the renewable energy sector. These factors propel the growth of the organic rankine cycle (ORC) market in the near future.
The supply chains of spare parts for ORC systems are majorly affected due to the shutdown of production facilities of the manufacturers. The manufacturing of most components in the energy & power sector is slowing down considerably. In addition, local and international travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, and lockdowns have caused delays in shipments of already manufactured parts to be supplied to the distributors and end-users. ORC manufacturers usually have access to an adequate supply of critical parts, devices, components, and materials for emergencies. But, these companies are facing bottlenecks due to the limited production of supplies in countries severely affected by COVID-19.
The geothermal segment led the market and accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021. The major reason for the dominance of the geothermal segment is due to the large-scale megawatt capacity of these geothermal projects as compared to other application segments such as biomass, waste heat recovery, and solar thermal. Since every geothermal project is usually of more than 10 MW capacity whereas ORC-based projects in other application segments are not always of capacities equivalent to 10 MW and are generally less than 1 to 2 MW.
The market for ORC is concentrated where major companies such as Ormat, Turboden, and Exergy account for more than 75% market share in 2020. These companies apart from equipment supply are also focusing on providing EPC and long-term maintenance services to enhance their market share further. This factor is expected to make these companies hold their dominance in the ORC market during the forecast period.

Application Insights
The geothermal segment led the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 61.8% in 2021. The major reason for the dominance of the geothermal segment is due to the large-scale megawatt capacity of these geothermal projects as compared to other application segments such as biomass, waste heat recovery, and solar thermal. Since each geothermal project is usually of the capacity of more than 10 MW where ORC-based projects in other application segments are not always of capacities equivalent to 10 MW and are generally less than 1 to 2 MW.
Countries with high geothermal potential such as the U.S., Turkey, Kenya, New Zealand, and Indonesia have taken significant steps to utilize the available geothermal potential available in their respective countries. For instance, from 2017 to 2018 Indonesia started the commercial operation of geothermal power plants with a cumulative capacity of 330 MW.
Regional Insights
North America dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 50.04% in 2021. The U.S. dominated the regional market owing to the high geothermal potential in the country. Furthermore, the country has taken active steps to enhance the deployment of geothermal potential for power generation applications in the past. ORMAT has been the major company working in the U.S. to tap geothermal potential in the country by use of its ORC technology. This factor is expected to make the U.S. dominant in North America during the forecast period.
Turkey led the market in 2021, in terms of revenue in the global market. The availability of large geothermal potential in the country serves as the major driver for the ORC market in the country. The European market for the organic rankine cycle is primarily driven by implementing favorable policies and support mechanisms for the growth of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects across the globe. This has resulted in the dominance of Europe in the global ORC market.
Further, new ORC-based geothermal power projects are under construction and are expected to commission in the forecast period in countries such as Turkey and France. For instance, Turboden is constructing an 11 MW ORC-based geothermal power project in France for Fonroche Geothermie which is expected to commence operation in the forecast period. These developments will lead the geothermal application segment to grow in the forecast period in the region.
