Synchronous Condenser Market Size, Share, Trends and Growth Report – Global Opportunities and Forecast, 2025-2032
Synchronous Condenser Market size reached USD 553 million in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 695 million in 2032 and the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2025-2032.
Synchronous Condenser, also known as Synchronous Compensator, refers to a synchronous motor that runs without mechanical load. It absorbs reactive volt-ampere (VAr) by varying the excitation of its field winding. A synchronous condenser has capability to produce up to 150% additional vars and also acts as an alternative to capacitor banks in power grids for power factor correction. The condenser controls power factor of system smoothly without stepping as per requirement.
Major Synchronous Condenser Market Drivers
The major factors which are driving the growth of the Global Synchronous Condenser include the increase demand for renewable power generation, long service life, and the rising requirement for power factor correction (PFC). Power plants are leveraging synchronous condensers as backups for renewables to manage voltage strength with weak electric grids due to the growing competence of hydro power and wind power generation. The increasing installation of solar panels in countries like US, China among others is also an important factor which is fuelling the growth of the market. Moreover, the shifting and conversion of synchronous generator to synchronous condenser and expansion of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) network will create lucrative opportunities in the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, high maintenance and device cost are restraining the growth of the market.
