Direct Drive Wind Turbine Market to Surge Due to Heavy Demand for Renewable Source of Energy

Pune, India, August, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Global Direct Drive Wind Turbine Market Research Report.

Market Synopsis

Market Research Future (MRFR) forecasts that the global direct drive wind turbine market is expected to grow phenomenally at approximately 11.5% CAGR during forecast period (2017-2022). The wind being one of the cleanest sources of power generation, is used to generate electricity by wind turbines. Increasing demand for renewable energy across the globe has majorly attributed to the growth of the direct drive wind turbine market. Moreover, depleting fossil fuel reserves, increasing environmental sensitivity, low cost of wind power generation and financial support from governments across the globe all have a knock-on effect on the global market size.

However, the only issue the market faces is the fact that the initial capital investments are on the higher side. But on the other hand, major revolutions have taken place in the recent years towards the turbine design and installation techniques, which have considerably reduced the initial capital investment cost to a fairly reasonable extent. This factor can have a positive knock-on effect on the market in the coming years.

Market Segmentation

The global direct drive wind turbine market is segmented on the basis of capacity, technology and region.

The capacity is sub-segmented into less than 1MW, 1MW to 3MW, and more than 3MW. While on the basis of technology, the market is segmented on the basis of electrically excited synchronous generator and permanent magnet synchronous generator. The permanent magnet synchronous generator technology is anticipated to experience a significant growth over the forecast period due to the increase in offshore activities.
