Global Direct Drive
(Gearless) Wind Turbine Market - Synopsis
Direct drive wind
turbines are manufactured without gearboxes, which facilitate the direct
transfer of the power from motor without reductions. It is gaining momentum
owing to several of the advantages offered by the product. In this observation
offered by Market Research Future (MRFR), the Global
Direct Drive (Gearless) Wind Turbine Market is expected to strike 11.5%
CAGR during the assessment period. The market is anticipated to reach a decent
valuation by the end of 2022.
Gearboxes are considered
to be the weakest link is wind turbines, and its elimination is presumed to increase
the life span of the wind turbines. This, in turn, is expected to facilitate
the expansion of the direct drive wind turbine market in the coming years.
Also, the requirement for oil cooling is eliminated in direct drive wind
turbines. It avoids the possibility of environmental pollution. This, in turn,
is expected to catalyze the growth rate of the direct drive wind turbine market
in the forthcoming years.
The elimination of
gearbox helps in the frictionless flow of energy. It enhances the efficiency of
the wind turbines, making it much popular among the end-users. Thus, the direct
drive wind turbine market is anticipated to witness a lucrative growth
trajectory over the next couple of years. Both the developed and developing nations are
observed to expand their capacities of renewable power generation. It is poised
to influence the market growth greatly in the years to come.
Increasing reliance on
wind power for ensuring energy security is projected to catapult the direct
drive wind turbine market on upward trajectory. Increasing investments in
offshore wind farms are anticipated to drive the growth of the global market in
the foreseeable future. However, the cost of investments in the technology is
quite high, which can impede the expansion of the market across the forecast
period.
Global Direct Drive
(Gearless) Wind Turbine Market Segmentation:
On the basis of capacity,
the direct drive wind turbine market has been segmented into less than 1MW, 1MW
to 3MW, and more than 3MW.
By technology, the direct
drive wind turbine market has been divided into permanent magnet synchronous
generator and electrically excited synchronous generator.
Regional Analysis:
The global direct drive
(gearless) wind turbine market segmented on the basis of region, has
been segmented into Asia Pacific (APAC), North America, Europe, and the Rest of
the World (RoW).
These regional segments
are further narrowed down to a country-level basis. Europe is anticipated to
maintain its pole position over the next couple of years. The region has been
observing a rapid inclination towards the generation of renewable energy. This,
in turn, is poised to emerge as the primary driver of the direct drive wind
turbine market. Country-level markets such as Spain, France, United Kingdom
(U.K), etc. are prognosticated to boost the growth of the regional market in
Europe. Asia Pacific is emerging as a potential market. The rising adoption of
direct drive wind turbines in the market is expected to expedite market during
the evaluation period.
