Delray Beach – October 19, 2026 -- The global fuel gas system market for combined-cycle power plants will grow from USD 1,410.2 million in 2026 to USD 1,837.7 million by 2031, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%, according to MarketsandMarkets. The market stood at USD 1,350.0 million in 2025.

Demand is driven by more complex natural gas supply streams, variations in gas composition and stricter fuel-quality requirements. These factors raise the importance of fuel gas conditioning systems in combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) applications. Expanding LNG-based supply chains and gas-to-power infrastructure add to adoption of systems that handle varying supply conditions.
