''In terms of value, mechanical recycling accounted for the largest share of the overall Wind Blade Recycling market.''
In 2023, Mechanical recycling in wind blade recycling market have the largest market share due to its cost-effectiveness feature over other recycling processes. As of now, the mechanical recycling method has the highest Technology readiness level (TRL), which means that it can be used to recycle wind blades at commercial levels. Many companies use this method to recycle wind blade material and use them as fillers in cement.
"During the forecast period, the Wind Blade Recycling market in Automotive industry is projected to be the fastest growing region."
During the forecast period from 2024 to 2029, the automotive industry is expected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry in the wind blade recycling market. The recycled wind blade material especially carbon fiber can be used in interior parts of vehicles. Carbon fiber recyclers are trying to extract virgin quality carbon fiber from wind blades which can be sourced back to the automotive product manufacturers, which will help the OEMs to reduce their carbon footprints. Additionally, European countries have made it a mandate that around 25% of automotive material should be recycled material. Thus, as recycling technologies advance the demand for high-quality recycled material from wind blades will increase from the automotive industry.
"During the forecast period, the Wind Blade Recycling market in Asia Pacific region is projected to be the largest region."
The growth of wind blade recycling in Asia Pacific is fuelled by the presence of a large number of wind installations in this region, especially China and India. A large number of wind turbines in China are expected to decommission in the coming decade, thus key players in wind blade recycling are trying to enter the Asia Pacific market. Major wind industry players like Goldwind and Chn Energy Investment Group from China have entered the wind blade recycling market.
Prominent companies include Veolia (France), Acciona (Spain), Stena Metal AB (Sweden), Vestas (Denmark), Iberdrola, S.A. (Spain), Makeen Energy (Denmark), Kuusakoski OY (Finland), Renercycle (Spain), Continuum (Denmark), Holcim Group (Switzerland), Alliant Energy Corporation (US), Plaswire Ltd (Ireland), Goldwind (China), Chn Energy Investment Group (China), and Enel SpA (Italy).
