Global Direct Drive (Gearless) Wind Turbine Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Direct Drive (Gearless) Wind Turbine market size was valued at US$ 36310 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 65060 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 8.8% during review period.
The direct drive (gearless) wind turbine is the low-speed generator that eliminates the need for a gearbox from the turbine’s drive train. Direct drive technology has been praised for its design, which is less complex than gearbox technology, leading to easier operations and maintenance. This appeal has made direct drive especially coveted for use in offshore wind developments. The most preferred direct drive wind turbine generator is the permanent magnet type generator, as it is lighter in weight and possesses high reliability for offshore applications. The reduction of weight seen by direct-drive machines is actually leading to a decrease in costs, especially in terms of manufacturing costs.
Global Direct Drive (Gearless) Wind Turbine key players include GOLDWIND, Enercon, SIEMENS, GE ENERGY, ALSTOM, etc. Global top five players hold a share about 65%.
Europe is the largest market, with a share about 40%, followed by China and North America, having a total share about 45 percent.
In terms of product, 1 MW – 3 MW is the largest segment, with a share about 85%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Onshore Application, followed by Offshore Application.
