Wind Turbine Tower Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increased Benefits of Wind Energy

One of the energy sources with the greatest rate of growth in the world, wind energy provides many benefits. Since most of the best wind locations are located in rural areas, this has a large economic impact. As wind turbines only occupy a small fraction of the land, farmers and ranchers can continue to use it for their livelihoods. Farmers and ranchers rent from wind power plant owners to use their property, adding to the revenue of landowners. Wind energy is abundant and endless, which is the major reason for rapid market growth. In addition, it employs a sizable portion of the population. One of the fastest expanding occupations in the nation is wind turbine technician, which employs over 100,000 individuals in the United States. Consequently, these useful properties ultimately accelerates the demand for floating wind turbines, thus accelerating the overall growth rate for the market.

Furthermore, the rapid population expansion, a growing industrial sector, and expanded infrastructure construction are all factors in the sharp rise in electricity demand. The requirement for energy consumption is increasing as nations develop and their standards of living rise. Regions worldwide are expanding their power-producing capacity by constructing new facilities or expanding existing ones as the demand for electricity rises. There is a need for individuals with specializations in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and other manufacturing-related fields due to the specialized labor required for wind tower manufacture, which further creates various job opportunities that boost the overall market's growth.

Opportunities

• Growth in Sustainable And Eco-Friendly Electricity Source

Furthermore, the increasing requirement for sustainable and eco-friendly electricity source further extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. This industry is growing due to the rising demand for reliable, clean energy that helps reduce global carbon emissions and preserve natural harmony by producing electricity from renewable resources. It is one of the most advanced, reasonably priced, and environmentally benign energy generation technologies. Moreover, there has been a discernible movement in the energy sector toward renewable and green energy as a result of reasons, including the need to cut carbon emissions, the depletion of fossil fuels, climate change, and others.

• Surging Amount of Favourable Government Policies

A number of government policies supports the greener energy programme. Consequently, the boost in various favorable government policies associated with greener energy initiative and reduction in carbon footprint provides various opportunities for the market. The main energy policies that are specifically targeted at wind include feed-in tariffs, tax credits, net metering, and capital subsidies in several nations, including the United States, China, Japan, and the European Union. For instance, Poland recently established a new renewable energy law that includes a feed-in tariff for small wind turbines. Up to 3 kW, the FIT will be 0.17 euros per kWh, and up to 10 kW, it will be 0.15 euros per kWh. The specified incentives will contribute to a major increase in the wind energy sector in these nations, positively affecting the overall market's growth.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Costs

The various types of towers are employed to effectively generate wind energy. Towers including concrete, tubular steel, hybrid, and lattice towers are preferred for large wind turbines. The wind tower is the most important and expensive component of the entire turbine. It typically costs between 25 and 30 percent of the wind turbine's overall cost. The high cost of the wind turbine tower is preventing the implementation of wind turbine tower, which will prove to be a massive disadvantage for wind turbine tower market.

• Wind energy is Intermittent

 It can be challenging to forecast precisely how much electricity a wind turbine will produce over time because a wind turbine's efficiency in producing electricity depends on the weather. The turbine's rotor won't rotate on any given day if wind speeds are too low. This means that wind energy isn't always dispatchable during peak electricity demand. As a result, the unpredictable nature of wind will further pose as a serious challenge to the growth of the wind turbine tower market.

COVID-19 Impact on Wind Turbine Tower Market

COVID-19 damaged the various industries since it interfered with the industrial processes and the supply chain. Most businesses stopped operating because to a lack of workers. However, COVID-19's effects are causing a slow drop in the demand for wind turbine tower worldwide. The outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the wind turbine tower market, as the production of wind turbine towers was put on hold for a set length of time, which had a significant influence on sales. Demand for wind power projects is inversely correlated with wind turbine tower sales. The wind projects have suffered, and demand for wind turbines has significantly decreased due to the COVID-19 outbreak's lockdown.

Additionally, import and export activities were severely damaged, negatively influencing the global market. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) reports that due to uncertainty and income loss during the lockout, between 30 and 70 percent of pre-COVID-19 vendors and workers relocated to their hometowns. This lack of personnel availability or reduced workforce availability is anticipated to directly impact production and manufacturing operations, which will lead to a reduction in demand for the raw materials used in wind turbine tower. This is anticipated to slow the market's growth for wind turbine tower during the anticipated term.

Recent Development

• In February 2022, In order to establish a wind turbine tower plant in the Baltic Sea city of Gdask, Spain's GRI Renewable Industries and the capital group of Poland's state Industrial Development Agency (GK ARP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
• In June 2021, the development of a 252 MW wind power project from CLP India received a fresh order from Suzlon Group, the largest provider of renewable energy solutions in India. 120 S120-140m wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a Hybrid Lattice Tubular (HLT) towers, each with a rated capacity of 2.1 MW, will be installed by Suzlon. The project will be finished at Sidhpur, Gujarat, and should be operational by 2022.
