Based on pitch system, the electric segment is set to cross more than USD 1.6 billion by 2032, driven by advancements in turbine technology, the need for efficiency, and increased focus on reliability and maintenance. Electric pitch systems are being adopted over traditional hydraulic systems owing to their higher efficiency, lower maintenance requirements, and better control capabilities. They consume less power which improves the overall efficiency of the wind turbine, which is especially beneficial in large onshore wind farms where energy savings across multiple turbines can be significant, contributing to the product demand.
Further, the systems have fewer moving parts and do not require the same level of maintenance, eliminating the risk of oil leaks and the associated environmental and operational hazards, making them more reliable in the long term, driving the business scenario.
Based on blade length, the large segment is likely to register about 5% CAGR through 2032, owing to higher energy yields, technological advancements, and site-specific factors. Longer blades allow turbines to capture more wind, especially at lower wind speeds, leading to increased energy output. Advances in materials, such as lightweight composites and carbon fiber, have enabled the production of longer blades without significantly increasing weight. In regions with lower wind speeds, larger blades are becoming more common as they allow turbines to operate more efficiently in such conditions.
Furthermore, to accommodate longer blades, the height of wind turbine towers is also increasing, which can access higher-altitude wind streams, which are generally stronger and more stable, further boosting the energy generation.
Asia Pacific Onshore wind turbine pitch and yaw drive market is predicted to hit USD 3.7 billion by 2032, driven by government incentives, expanding renewable energy targets, and advancements in wind technology. Many countries in the Asia Pacific region, such as China, India, and Australia, have set ambitious renewable energy targets to reduce carbon emissions, thereby accelerating the adoption of onshore wind projects, supported by favorable policies and incentives. The region is adopting larger wind turbines with higher power output, contributing to increased efficiency.
Moreover, countries are leveraging more advanced wind turbine designs to harness low to medium wind speeds prevalent in many areas. In addition, several countries in the region, are investing in local manufacturing of wind turbine components, including pitch and yaw drives, nacelles, and blades to reduce costs and improve supply chain efficiency, augmenting the industry landscape.
