Wind Turbine Inspection Drones Segmentation

Application (Blade Inspection, Tower Inspection, Nacelle Inspection)

The blade inspection segment in the wind turbine inspection drones market is poised to generate the highest revenue by the end of 2037. Blade inspection is an essential element of maintaining a wind turbine overall, since damaged blades could decrease the power and potentially seriously harm the wind tower. It may be time-consuming and expensive to inspect the blades using traditional methods, which include personnel ascending the tower. Drones are capable of reducing the cost of blade inspection. According to Chemical and Engineering News in August 2022, in the U.S. alone, almost 8,000 blades were pulled down. Inspection and maintenance is important to prevent problems in wind turbine blades.

Energy Type (Offshore Wind Energy, Onshore Wind Energy)

Wind turbine inspection drones market from the offshore wind energy segment is expected to have a significant rise over the projected period. Offshore farms are becoming more popular than onshore wind energy farms because of the presence of higher wind speeds and lack of physical interference. According to the World Economic Forum in November 2022, at COP27, 9 new countries joined the global offshore wind alliance started by IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency). Additionally, the worldwide offshore wind installation in 2023 is projected 4th largest annual installed capacity with 6,326 MW.
