Once-Through Steam Generators in the US Procurement Price, Data and Insights
Once-through steam generators (OTSGs) are heat recovery steam generators that convert steam into energy. One of the main differences between OTSGs and other heat recovery steam generators is that the former does not have boiler drums, which enables more flexibility in changing steam production. The key buyers of once-through steam generators are typically large industrial companies and power generation facilities that require efficient and reliable steam production for processes such as chemical manufacturing, oil and gas refining, and electricity generation.

What is the supply chain risk for Once-Through Steam Generators?
High market share concentration limits negotiation leverage and flexibility for buyers. Nearly half of total market revenue is controlled by the top four suppliers, as the high capital expenditure required to manufacture OTSGs serves as a significant barrier to entry. Thus, the high market share concentration and relatively low total vendor pool restricts buyers' power to drive aggressive pricing or favorable contract terms. Procurement teams should proactively benchmark deals, diversify their supplier lists early, and consider multi-vendor strategies to avoid overdependence on dominant manufacturers.
What factors affect the price of Once-Through Steam Generators?
The application and intended use of once-through steam generators (OTSGs) significantly affect their pricing due to the specific demands of different industries, such as nuclear power generation versus standard industrial processes. Pricing is often measured based on factors such as efficiency, capacity, and customization options, with nuclear OTSGs generally commanding higher prices due to their stringent safety requirements and regulatory compliance compared to standard OTSGs used in less regulated environments.
