The global wind energy market size reached USD 95.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 169.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% during 2025-2033. The increasing demand for renewable energy sources, the increasing implementations of favorable policies and incentives, such as tax credits, subsidies, and feed-in tariffs, in stringent manner, and the development of energy storage technologies represent some of the key factors driving the market toward growth.
Wind energy is a form of renewable energy that utilizes the power of the wind to generate electricity. It is generated from large, tower-like structures with blades attached to them that spin in the wind and are used to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. It offers several advantages, such as it is clean and does not produce any greenhouse gas emissions or other harmful pollutants. Additionally, the wind is a free and abundant resource that can be found all over the world, making it a highly accessible source of energy. It is widely preferred as a substitute for fossil fuels and other conventional energy resources on account of its less impact on the environment. As a result, it is readily available, and inexpensive and finds extensive applications in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors across the globe.
The growing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is driving the global market. Moreover, the governments around the world are implementing policies and incentives, such as tax credits, subsidies, and feed-in tariffs, to promote the development of renewable energy, thus providing a boost to the market. Besides, the increasing consumption of energy due to rapid urbanization and growing reliance on electronics is significantly supporting the demand. Apart from this, continual technological advances, including the use of digital technologies, advanced materials, and improved manufacturing techniques that helps to make wind energy more competitive and reliable, are further fuelling the growth in the market. Along with this, the development of energy storage technologies, such as batteries, can help to address the intermittent nature of wind energy and improve the reliability of the electricity supply, thereby impelling the demand across the globe. Additionally, the growing investments in upcoming wind power projects are creating a positive market outlook. Furthermore, wind energy contributes to national security by minimizing dependence on imported fossil fuels and increasing energy independence, further propelling the demand. The market is further driven by the rising improvements in performance and reduction in the prices of wind power technologies. Additionally, the uptake of wind energy is offering various long-term employment opportunities in construction and installation, wind turbine component manufacturing, maintenance and operations, legal and marketing services, and transportation and logistics is providing a lucrative opportunity to the market.
