Wind Turbine Gearbox Market Dynamics

Drivers

Favorable Government Regulations

  • It is evident that investment in renewable sources of energy is on the rise globally creating more market opportunities. With the increasing concerns about environment many governments in several countries are also attempting to cut down greenhouse gases emission throughout the world. They are enforcing beneficial policies that promote both onshore and offshore wind markets.

Growing Investment in Wind Energy

  • Wind energy is one of the key drivers of the current energy transition and the adoption of renewable resources is being witnessed across several regions. Many companies have invested a lot in expanding renewable energy projects. Investments are done in the projects according to the need, like turbines, blades, gearboxes, deployment of project, labour, and testing. Such projects will expand the demand for wind turbine gearboxes in the future.

Restraints

Significantly High Cost of Maintenance

  • Wind turbine operation and maintenance is extremely expensive, which is restraining the market growth. Maintenance of wind turbine generators requires regular checks-ups after the installation of the wind turbine. A turbine has two core and complex machinery parts which are a generator, and gearbox. Maintenance operations for these items are important to increase their lifespan. Otherwise, there is a risk of breakdown which incurs heavy downtime cost. It is crucial to understand that servicing the gearbox is a costly and complex task.

Low Reliability of Gearbox

  • The wind turbine gearbox market faces challenges related to gearbox failures. Gearboxes suffer from high levels of stress and loading which results in deterioration with time. Research done by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has pointed out that a high percentage of the time and costs incurred in maintenance of wind turbines can be attributed to gearbox failures.

They are enforcing beneficial policies that promote both onshore and offshore wind markets.

Lowering Cost of Gear Box: One of the most important trends in the global wind turbine gearbox market is the decreasing cost of gearboxes used in wind power generation. In the past few decades, the decrease in the price of components, including the gearboxes, has caused an increase in the capability for wind power generation. It has been noticed that the price of wind turbine gearboxes has been decreasing over the years due to several reasons such as improved design of gearboxes, better sourcing of raw materials and supply chain, as well as more competitors entering the market which created more demand for gearboxes and led to more economies of scale.

Europe is dominating with the largest wind turbine gearbox market share. In this region, installation of renewable energy is gaining quite a momentum. There is an increasing investment in wind energy particularly in Germany and the U.K. The rate of installation of the gearbox is also increasing largely due to the rising uptake of the wind turbine in this region. The region has planned various upcoming offshore as well as onshore projects. Europe in the next 5 years has planned to set up 15 GW of wind energy annually. In 2020, wind covered 16% of the total electricity consumed in Europe. The increasing deployment of wind energy creates new market opportunities for growth in the gearbox market in Europe during the forecast period.
