On September 23, Takao Tsukui, Chairman and CEO of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, stated that driven by the demand for artificial intelligence data center construction in the United States, based on the order progress from January to June 2026, the global demand for gas turbines is expected to remain the same as or higher than that in 2025, with the annual demand likely to exceed 100 gigawatts again, and this strong demand is expected to continue into 2027. Currently, there is a large backlog of orders, with tight scheduling for products to be delivered from 2029 to 2030, and contract prices have increased by approximately 20% year-on-year.
