LIDAR Systems Market for Wind Industry: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increase in the hub height is notably driving the LIDAR systems market growth for wind industry, although factors such as high cost of implementation may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the LIDAR systems market for wind industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key LIDAR Systems Market Driver for Wind Industry
One of the key factors driving the global light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems market growth for wind industry growth is the increase in the hub height. The increase in the tower height is leading to high investments in wind power projects, thus making wind source assessments even more critical in determining the profitability of a wind farm. The assessment is performed using a large meteorological mast. The met mast height also needs to be increased to measure the wind as the height increases. According to the IEC 61400-12-1 standard, met masts must be located between 2D and 4D (D represents the distance of X times the rotor diameter). This becomes a challenge under complex terrains, especially in offshore wind generation, which escalates the cost of installing wind power plants. The challenges posed by met masts have resulted in a desire to measure the wind speed directly from the wind turbine, which will fuel the adoption of LIDAR systems for wind industry during the forecast period.
Key LIDAR Systems Market Trend for Wind Industry
Increase in the number of offshore wind installations is one of the key LIDAR systems market trends for wind industry that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. According to the GWEC, in March 2020, 6.1 GW of offshore wind capacity was added to the mix in 2019, a record year for the industry and an impressive 35.5% increase over the previous year, during which 4.5 GW of capacity was installed. In addition, countries such as the US, China, Japan, South Korea, and India are also expected to start offshore wind projects. Thus, the global increase in the number of offshore installations is expected to drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key LIDAR Systems Market Challenge for Wind Industry
One of the key challenges to the global light detection and ranging systems market growth for wind industry growth is the high cost of implementation. Offshore wind farms are expensive in every aspect, starting from the turbine and its components, which must be protected to withstand harsh weather conditions, to power connections and networks and reinforced foundations that hold the turbine to the seabed. In addition, underwater topology increases with the complexity of the installation. Moreover, independent power developers face the task of raising funds, which is projected to reduce the number of offshore wind turbine installations. Thus, the high cost of installations may have a direct impact on the offshore market and consequently lead to the decline in demand for LIDAR systems in the wind industry during the forecast period.
This LIDAR systems market for wind industry analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
