The global wind turbine bearings market size was 5207.3 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 12790.1 million by 2031 exhibiting a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with intranasal drug delivery market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The unforeseen rise in CAGR is attributable to the request’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic situations.
The growing population leads to higher energy consumption, necessitating the production of a large quantity of sustainable renewable energy. Wind turbines, being a source of renewable energy, are widely embraced by governments and various organizations due to their ability to generate substantial amounts of energy in comparison to alternative sources.
The global demand for wind turbine bearings is on the rise as wind turbine energy plants are being installed extensively worldwide. These bearings are specifically designed to endure high temperatures, moisture, load fluctuations, and extreme weather conditions. In addition to their durability, wind turbine bearings play a crucial role in reducing energy loss by minimizing friction between the rotating components.
By converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy, these bearings enable various applications such as powering electric generators or meeting household electricity needs. Wind turbines have been established as a sustainable and environmentally friendly electricity technology, as they do not emit carbon dioxide.
COVID-19 Impact: Challenges in the Procurement of raw materials and transportation issues
In the year 2020, the wind turbine component installation faced various challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including difficulties in procuring raw materials and transportation issues. Despite these obstacles, there was a strong growth in the demand for wind turbine installations. This was mainly attributed to the temporary closure of operations in many commercial sectors, leading to a focus on wind energy projects. Governments around the world did not halt installation projects, and there was a collaborative effort between vendors and governments to continue wind turbine installations in different wind farms. This collective effort contributed to the growth of the wind turbine components market during FY 2020.
However, in 2021, as COVID-19 restrictions began to ease, there was a decline in the growth of wind turbine installations compared to 2020. This decline can be attributed to hampered production and negative impacts from suppliers, which had a detrimental effect on the wind turbine components market growth in 2020.
LATEST TRENDS
"The rise in demand for wind turbine bearing with increasing onshore wind power installations."
With the implementation of enhanced environmental policies and the anticipated execution of wind energy projects that are currently in the development phase, the wind energy sector is poised to experience significant growth. As per the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), wind power accounted for 10%-15% of the global electricity demand in 2021, and this percentage is expected to surpass 20% by the year 2030.
Moreover, several countries, including India, Brazil, Sweden, and Canada, have been actively increasing their onshore wind turbine capacity. This surge in onshore wind power installations will serve as a driving force for market growth within the specified forecast period. The year 2020 witnessed a significant increase in onshore wind capacity additions, reaching a total of 60 GW.
This growth can be attributed to the development of wind farms in the United States and a shift in policy in China from feed-in tariffs to competitive auctions. As a result, the rise in onshore wind capacity installations will correspondingly lead to an increase in turbine installations. This surge in turbine installations will drive the global demand for wind turbine bearings and subsequently propel the market in focus during the forecast period.
