Prime Movers Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The economical and efficient renewable energy resources is notably driving the prime movers market growth, although factors such as challenges associated with the installations 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 prime movers industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Prime Movers Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global prime movers market growth is the economical and efficient renewable energy resources. Countries are shifting their focus from non-renewable sources of energy to renewable sources to produce power using prime movers. Wind power is considered to be the most efficient source of power among all renewable energy sources. According to GWEC, in APAC, 30.6 gigawatts of new wind energy capacity were installed in 2019. China was the leading country in terms of new offshore wind power capacity additions, with 2.3 gigawatts installed in 2019. Europe held 59% of new wind capacity installations in 2019 and remained the largest market for offshore wind power. In addition, in September 2021, GE Renewable Energy announced that it would supply 40 onshore wind turbines for the 200 MW Aftissat onshore wind farm extension in Morocco. Thus, the growing installation of wind turbines along with prime movers will drive demand in the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Prime Movers Market Trend
Another key factor driving the global prime movers market growth is the declining levelised cost of energy (LCOE) of wind power generation. According to the IEA, factors such as technological advances, the presence of environmental policies, and the maturity of the supply chain for offshore wind turbines increase the adoption of wind energy in Europe. Moreover, the reduction in LCOE has led to a decrease in the cost of installation of wind farms. As a result, the cost of generating onshore wind power is almost equal to the cost of generating power from conventional. For instance, the cost of producing electricity from new onshore wind power plants is 10.29% lesser than the electricity generated from new gas power plants. The generation of energy from wind is also complemented by solar and battery technologies. Such factors are projected to further accelerate the installation of wind turbines, thereby supporting the market growth in the forecast period.
Key Prime Movers Market Challenge
One of the key factors impeding the global prime movers market growth is the challenges associated with the installations. The main challenges for the installation of prime movers are installation time and vessel cost, deepwater mooring and electrical cable installations, weather restrictions imposed by tugboat and barge limitations, adverse seabed conditions, and mating turbine onto the structure among many others. In addition, the cost of funding an offshore wind farm is high when compared with that of other renewable power sources. The span of transmission cables is an added factor that influences the cost of prime movers. Moreover, independent power developers face challenges while raising and handling funds. These installation challenges make it difficult for companies to install prime movers for wind turbines, which are adversely affecting the growth of the global prime movers market.
This prime movers market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 caused an economic recession and massively disrupted industrial operations in the region owing to the implementation of lockdown measures. The governments of various nations, such as India, imposed the first lockdown in March 2020 to cope with an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. Thus, energy consumption in the region declined dramatically. For instance, India's energy demand dropped by 26% within ten days after imposing the lockdown on March 24, 2020. However, economic activities picked up in late 2020 owing to a decline in the number of COVID-19 cases and an increase in mobility due to the lifting of lockdown restrictions. This has been increasing the commercial and industrial demand for electricity in 2021, which will positively impact the renewable electricity sector such as wind and others and lead to an increase in the use of wind turbines. This will thereby drive the regional market growth during the forecast period.
