Wind Turbine Brakes Market Research Report: Information by Application (Onshore and Offshore) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa and South America) - Forecast till 2030

It is expected that the wind turbine brakes market share will hold USD 390.4 Million and a CAGR of 6.21% between 2022 and 2030. Increasing demand for renewable electricity will drive the global market.

Wind Turbine Brakes Market Scenario

The wind turbine brake is used in crucial times or some emergencies. One can also use this for maintenance and something like handling risk and protecting investment in case of high wind speed. It is also used to hold the turbine and stop the rotors from moving. This system is also used in extreme weather conditions where excess wind speed might damage the turbine. It is also used to hold the turbine where there are chances of the turbine facing mechanical failures. The rising demand for sustainable electricity generation to mitigate the emission of harmful gases will substantially impact the wind turbine brakes market growth. As the demand for electricity generation from wind energy increases, it will drive the market's direction. However, the manufacturing cost related to the system can hamper the market growth. One of the major restraints for the market is the government's initiatives to adopt offshore wind for electricity.

Wind Turbine Brakes Market Key Players

The key players operating in the global wind turbine brakes market are Altra Industrial Motion Corp, ANTEC Group, Dellner Brakes AB, Hilliard Corp, Hindon LLC, Hydratech Industries, Miki Pulley Co. Ltd, Siegerland Bremsen GmbH, Thomson Industries Inc, and W.C. Branham Inc.

Recent development

• May 2022

Burgos will oversee the complete wind portfolio sales from the Dellner Bubenzer and Dellner Hydratech catalogues. He brings 25 years of experience as he spent the last decade with a primary focus on business development in Latin markets for one of the world's biggest wind turbine manufacturers.

• April 2022

Cyberattacks on three European wind-energy companies since the start of the war in Ukraine have raised an alarm that hackers sympathetic to Russia are trying to cause mayhem in a sector set to benefit from efforts to decline reliance on Russian oil and gas.

Gas giant Algeria threatened Wednesday to break a contract to supply gas to Spain if Madrid transferred it to "the third destination", amid tensions with regional rival Morocco.

Many major players such as ANTEC Group, Hilliard Corp, and Dellner Brakes AB are actively focusing on R&D to reduce the manufacturing costs of solar equipment to increase the adoption of off-grid solar equipment. For instance, in July 2020, Dongfang Electric Corporation announced that the company had started operations of its 10 MW wind turbine. The development is expected to have a substantial impact on the growth of the company’s market share during the forecast period.

Wind Turbine Brakes Market Segmentation

The global wind turbine brakes market has been segmented based on application. Based on application, the global market is divided into onshore and offshore. The onshore segment is expected to hold a larger share of the market during the forecast period, owing to the increasing installations of grid-connected wind farms. However, the offshore segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period owing to the declining cost of offshore wind equipment and the technological developments of the equipment.

The global wind turbine brakes market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for renewable electricity.  This is expected to drive the demand for wind turbine brakes during the forecast period.

Based on region, the global wind turbine brakes market is segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Europe holds the largest market share of the  market due to the increasing adoption of renewable electricity in the region. Additionally, the market in Europe is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, primarily due to the numerous government initiatives introduced in the region to increase the adoption of wind energy.

Wind turbine brakes are used to hold the turbine in place and stop the rotors from moving. They are applied for maintenance operations and in extreme weather conditions where excessive wind speed may damage the turbine. Wind turbine brakes are also used to hold the turbine in place when the turbine faces mechanical failure.
