Wind Turbine Forging Market Analysis

The Wind Turbine Forging market ecosystem comprises Frisa; Iraeta; Ulma Forged Solutions; Celsa Nordic; Bharat Forge. These stakeholders include raw material providers, component manufacturers, and end users. Wind turbine forging is an important part of the wind turbine system. Raw material providers provide the forged product manufacturers with materials such as steel for wind turbine shafts or even concrete for wind turbine towers. The manufacturers then develop the main shaft of a wind turbine, forged from steel, which becomes hardened and tempered in the forging process. Tubular steel towers are manufactured in 20-30 meters with flanges at each end. FRISA offers high-performance wind turbine forgings for wind turbine platforms. Component manufacturers then provide the forged pieces to the OEMs in the wind power industry. Growing demands for the ring rolling processes with up to 3-meter diameters and cross sections and forged blades are propelling the wind turbine forging market.

Wind Turbine Forging Market Overview

Wind Turbine Forging providers include companies such as Scot Forge Company; Specialtyring; Irizar Forge; Tongyu Heavy Industry Co., Ltd; and Bortome, which provides forged products to the end users in the wind energy industry. These companies supply critical components for the renewable energy sector and are constantly expanding their product portfolio and customer base. The growing construction of onshore and offshore wind power farms and turbines is anticipated to boost the demand for the global wind turbine forging market in the forthcoming years.

Wind Turbine Forging Market: Strategic Insights

Wind Turbine Forging Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Government Initiatives to Reduce Carbon Footprint to Favor Market

Encouraging government mandates and initiatives are supporting the expansion of the clean energy sector, which is anticipated to reduce the carbon footprint globally. The rising government focus on establishing targets to mitigate the carbon emissions from industrial, residential and commercial sectors by 2030 is projected to drive the growth of wind turbine forging market worldwide. The energy crisis has severed due to the Russia and Ukraine war. However, the energy crisis is positive for the renewable sector as countries such as Italy, the UK, and the Netherlands are shifting their investment and efforts toward renewable energies such as installing wind power. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has accelerated the investment in the renewable industry globally to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. The countries have updated the green energy target to fulfil the energy demands. Furthermore, the Russia-Ukraine war has accelerated the renewable sector's growth in Asian countries. South Korea and Japan had already invested in hydrogen technology, and the Russia- Ukraine war has further accelerated their renewable industry investment. Hence, due to this, demand for wind turbine forging solutions has increased as the number of wind turbine installations has increased globally.

Advent of Technology Development in Wind Turbine Forging

Computer-aided engineering is obtaining rapid implementation in forging, a manufacturing process that yields the required shape of a element by employing impact load on the metallic element. The utilization of CAE technology in the forging industry has substantially lowered the lead time and errors during product manufacturing, thereby making the process more efficient, which is projected to offer high growth opportunities for the market.

Wind Turbine Forging Market Report Segmentation Analysis

Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the wind turbine forging market analysis are type and component.

• Based on the type, the wind turbine forging market is divided into seamless rolled ring and open die forging. The open die forging segment held a larger market share in 2023.
• By application, the market is segmented into flanges, blades, bearings, gears, shafts, and others. The flanges segment held a significant share of the market in 2023.

Wind Turbine Forging Market Share Analysis by Geography

The geographic scope of the Wind Turbine Forging market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.

Asia Pacific is leading the market. Asia Pacific is a highly populated region across the world, having a higher demand for energy. The Asia Pacific region is extremely dependent on fossil fuels for energy generation, and to decrease the dependency, countries such as China, India, Japan, and Australia are strongly investing in renewable energy projects. In addition to this, the skyrocketed prices of crude oil in the regions due to the Russia and Ukraine war have further escalated the energy crisis in the region. Thus, the overall energy crisis in the Asian region has significantly driven the investment towards wind and solar energy projects. In fact, China is the largest manufacturer as well as holds the largest installation of wind energy projects across the world. Similarly, India and Japan are also contributing significantly to the development of the renewable energy sector. Thus, the energy crisis has a significant positive impact on the wind turbine forging industry, as with rising wind turbine installation, the demand for the forged component will also rise.
