Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global wind turbine castings market will grow steadily at a CAGR of over 7% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the growing demand for electricity as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The increasing demand for electricity, particularly in emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa, owing to urbanization and the rapidly increasing population is one of the major driving factors for the global wind turbine castings market. The demand for electricity translates into the demand for energy and cost-efficient wind energy; thereby, boosting the growth of the global wind turbine castings market.
The emergence of smart wind turbines is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the wind turbine castings market in the coming years. Smart wind turbines capture more wind due to reduced maintenance downtime and contribute to lower operational costs. Additionally, smart wind turbines assist with the lower capacity rating and end up generating more power.
The global wind turbine castings market is subject to intense competition between vendors trying to dominate the market by investing a sizable portion of their revenue into R&D. The market is also witnessing players getting into agreements with governments to supply wind turbine components for casting processes such as investment casting and sand casting on a large scale. Vendors in this market compete based on factors such as innovation, price, operational cost, and product quality to gain an edge over their peers.
The leading vendors in the market are -
The other prominent vendors in the market include Elyria Foundry Company, ENERCON, Riyue Heavy Industry, shandong longma Heavy Industry, Simplex Castings, Sinovel Wind Group, and K & M Machine-Fabricating.
During 2016, the steel segment accounted for the major shares of this market. Steel accounts for 75%-85% of the components necessary to build a wind turbine. It also acts as a necessary component for the setting up of key components, including gears and bearings, in a typical wind turbine. These factors will contribute to the growth of the cast steel market throughout the forecast period.
This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, the Americas will be the major revenue contributor to the market by 2021. The US constitutes most of the installations of wind turbines in the region and has seen a considerable amount of progress in the rate of wind energy installments.
