Wind energy represents a sustainable electricity generation method that harnesses the kinetic energy from moving air to produce power. Widely recognized as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy source, it offers significant advantages in the renewable energy sector.
There are two primary turbine types such as horizontal axis and vertical axis. A horizontal axis turbine features a rotational axis parallel to both the ground and the wind stream. Key components include the turbine itself, support structure, electrical infrastructure, and additional elements. Wind energy projects are implemented in various locations, including onshore and offshore sites, catering to both utility and non-utility applications. This diversified approach allows for the optimization of wind power generation across different contexts and market segments.
The wind energy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides wind energy market statistics, including the wind energy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a wind energy market share, detailed wind energy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the wind energy industry. This wind energy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The wind energy market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $126.77 billion in 2024 to $141.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to emerging markets growth, increased demand for clean energy sources, high environmental impact of conventional power generation sources and increasing fuel costs.
The wind energy market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $219.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global population growth and urbanization, the increasing electricity demand and the increasing focus on alternative sources of power generation. Major trends in the forecast period include wind-solar hybrid systems, robot inspection systems, recyclable wind turbines, use of artificial intelligence (ai), new plant expansions, product innovations and collaborations and acquisitions.
An increase in the adoption of renewable energy sources is anticipated to drive the growth of the wind energy market in the future. Renewable energy refers to the energy generated from naturally replenishing but flow-restricted sources. The growing utilization of renewable energy is creating significant demand for wind energy, which is a clean, cost-effective, and easily accessible renewable source. For example, in June 2022, a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a U.S.-based energy organization, indicated that biomass was the primary source of total annual energy consumption in the United States. In 2021, biomass contributed approximately 5 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu), accounting for 5% of all primary energy used in the country. This included around 2,316 TBtu from biofuels (primarily ethanol), 2,087 TBtu from wood and wood-derived biomass, and 431 TBtu from biomass in municipal solid waste, sewage, animal manure, and agricultural residues. Therefore, the rise in the adoption of renewable energy sources is propelling the growth of the wind energy market.
Anticipated growth in the wind energy market is further catalyzed by robust government support. Government support encompasses a spectrum of initiatives, policies, programs, and financial assistance aimed at achieving specific objectives or addressing societal needs. Notably, the UK government, in March 2023, announced plans to quadruple offshore wind capacity to 50 GW by 2030 and achieve net-zero power generation by 2035. Simultaneously, EU member states are enhancing offshore wind activities, benefitting from temporarily relaxed state aid rules under the EU's Green Deal plan. Additionally, the US government, in February 2023, committed $369 billion to stimulate investments in renewable energy. Further exemplifying government backing, Germany and Denmark, in August 2022, announced a substantial investment of €9,000 million ($9,723.3 million) in a 3 GW wind power plant, with €6,000 million ($6,453.12 million) allocated for the offshore wind farm. Strong government support emerges as a pivotal factor driving increased demand within the energy industry and propelling growth in the wind energy market.
A prominent trend shaping the landscape of the wind energy market is the increasing emphasis on technological advancements. Leading companies within the sector are strategically investing in the development of products that leverage cutting-edge technologies to fortify their positions in the competitive wind energy market. A noteworthy example is WEG Industries, a Brazil-based electric engineering company, which, in July 2022, introduced a state-of-the-art wind turbine platform featuring Medium-Speed Geared (MSG) drive technology. Boasting a 7 MW capacity and an expansive 172-meter rotor diameter, this innovative turbine platform stands out for its ability to seamlessly connect to the electrical grid and adapt to diverse grid codes across regions. The integration of a full power drive enables the production of reactive energy during periods of low wind, providing additional advantages beyond power generation. Moreover, the redesigned modular components, including a taller tower, enhance logistical processes and facilitate easier assembly, particularly in challenging geographic locations.
Companies operating in the wind energy market are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI). This strategic focus on AI allows for the implementation of advanced data analytics and predictive maintenance algorithms, contributing to the optimization of wind turbine performance, increased energy production, and reduced operational costs. AI technologies play a pivotal role in enabling real-time monitoring and control of wind farms, thereby improving grid integration and overall system reliability. A case in point is GE Research, the US-based research and development division of General Electric, which collaborated with GE Renewable Energy in April 2022 to unveil a cutting-edge artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) tool. This innovative tool, leveraging a digital twin of the wind turbine logistics process, accurately predicts and streamlines logistics costs, potentially saving the global wind industry billions of dollars over the next decade.
In August 2024, Suzlon Energy Limited, an India-based renewable energy company, acquired Renom Energy Services Pvt. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Suzlon's operations and maintenance services for wind assets by leveraging Renom's expertise. The goal is to target over 32 GW of non-Suzlon wind energy assets in India and strengthen Suzlon's competitive position in line with the country's renewable energy objectives. Renom Energy Services Pvt. Ltd. is an India-based company specializing in operations and maintenance services for wind energy.
