Europe Direct Drive Wind Turbine Market Analysis

The Europe Direct Drive Wind Turbine Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 2.69% during the forecast period.

  • Technological improvements such as increased-capacity (1 MW - 3 MW direct drive system) wind turbines, floating wind turbines, 3D printing, have brought the overall cost of offshore wind power to the lowest level and opened up new offshore locations that were previously inaccessible due to lack of investment and technology. These developments are accelerating the adoption of wind power worldwide and hence, these trends are likely to drive the wind turbine direct-drive systems market during the forecast period.
  • Moreover, the integration of advanced technology in wind turbines direct drive system will enable advanced condition monitoring and predictive maintenance which result in increased efficiency and reduced operational and maintenance costs, which is likely to create a significant opportunity for the market in the near future.
  • Out of the total 225 billion kWh generated from renewable in Germany; offshore wind farms generated 19.4 billion KWh in 2019, holding a significant share of 9%. These ongoing developments and the current growth in the offshore wind market justifies their potential in the upcoming future.

Germany to Dominate the Market

  • The installed wind capacity in Germany increased to 60.822 GW in 2019 from 55.58 GW in 2017. The increase in wind capacity has been primarily dominated by the increase in Europe installed capacity.
  • According to IRENA, Germany is poised to become Europe's dominant offshore wind market, accounting for more than 50% of onshore and 60% of offshore wind installations by 2050.
  • In 2019, the Levelized cost of energy for offshore and onshore wind power had been estimated as USD 0.125/KWh and USD 0.062/KWh respectively.
  • Moreover, the various company are investing in Europe through a joint venture or agreement. In 2019, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, the company has installed more than 1000 wind turbines in the offshore region equipped with a direct drive system.
  • Out of the total 225 billion kWh generated from renewable in Germany; offshore wind farms generated 19.4 billion KWh in 2019, holding a significant share of 9%. These ongoing developments and the current growth in the offshore wind turbine direct-drive systems business during the forecast period.
