The direct drive wind turbine market is anticipated to witness remarkable growth, projecting a valuation surpassing USD 14.6 billion by 2022 and demonstrating an impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2022 to 2032. With forecasts indicating a market size exceeding USD 18.3 billion by 2032, this surge is primarily attributed to the innovative features of direct-drive turbines, distinguished by low-speed generators that eliminate the need for gearboxes in the drivetrain.
The projected increase in demand for energy on a global scale is expected to serve as a significant driver propelling the market share of direct drive wind turbines in the forthcoming years. Factors such as rapid industrialization, supportive regulations promoting energy efficiency, and a substantial proportion of renewable energy in the power generation sector are poised to further bolster market growth, as analyzed by FMI.
The imperative to decrease noise levels, enhance torque at low RPM, and improve surge efficiency is poised to drive the demand for direct drive wind turbines in the foreseeable future.
Direct drive wind turbines function as low-speed generators, negating the need for gearboxes in the turbine’s drivetrain. This advantage positions direct drive turbines as a more favorable option compared to conventional turbines. As a result of these favorable attributes, the market for direct drive wind turbines is predicted to experience growth throughout the projected period.
Key Insights:
