The wind energy outlook for the global market is one of continued growth. To meet the growing demands of wind energy projects, wind energy applications will require quality bearing products to stay productive and efficient. Supply deficiencies in gears, gearboxes, and bearings will force companies that are manufacturing, installing, and servicing wind turbine equipment to become more resourceful.
