The global wind power market was estimated at USD 99.44 billion in 2021 and it is expected to surpass around USD 166.2 billion by 2030, poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.87% from 2022 to 2030
Report Highlights
The increasing demand for clean and affordable energy is expected to drive the growth of the market. The adoption of wind power is increasing at a significant pace owing to the increasing viability of wind power for large-scale energy production.
Governments across various nations have been supporting the use of renewable energy sources including solar power, hydropower, wind power, and biomass. Regulatory bodies are emphasizing on reducing carbon footprints and reducing reliance on conventional energy sources which in turn promotes power generation using wind turbines. Increasing energy needs in countries such as India, China, the U.K., and Brazil, owing to rapid industrialization is projected to have a positive impact on the market growth.
Wind power energy finds wide use in numerous sectors such as commercial and residential. The Onshore wind power sector has emerged as a valued renewable energy source, across the world. The cumulative installed onshore and offshore wind power capacity is projected to observe a count of 837 GW in 2021. The offshore wind power sector has been gaining thrust in the global market for wind power.
Regions such as South America and Middle East & Africa offer a robust business opportunity for the market with countries, such as Brazil, Chile, and South Africa playing a vital role in the development of the growth. The increasing demand for electricity generation from green and clean sources is likely to drive the growth of the market in the forthcoming years. Besides, the massive wind power potential, coupled with a continuous decrease in the cost of installation, is expected to offer extensive business opportunities to the market.

Location Insights
The onshore segment dominated the market and held a revenue share of 71.73% in 2021. Onshore wind power has emerged as the most appreciated renewable source of energy, across the regions owing to its low cost over offshore wind power coupled with easy installations process and reduction in Greenhouse Gases (GHG). However, the offshore wind power generation is gradually gaining importance in driving the world’s wind energy installations and was 28.34% of the market in 2021
Globally, the cost of installation of the onshore and offshore wind power projects has declined and is projected to be declined in the upcoming years which is further expected to drive the market growth. The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for installed onshore wind projects is already modest as compared to the fossil fuel source of generation and is further set to decrease the installed cost and will help to improve the performance of the wind power plants in the future.
China, in the Asia Pacific region, will continue to dominate the onshore wind power industry, followed by North America. Brazil, India, Vietnam, and Australia are expected to be the potential markets for offshore wind power installation however varying political support in these countries is expected to propel the growth of the market.
Application Insights
The utility sector dominates the industry, accounting for more than 85.94% of total market value in 2021. The non-utility sector includes both commercial and residential wind power installations. Non-utility applications counted for a lower market share than utility on account of the infeasibility of applying wind turbines due to land constraints. Another major factor affecting the application of wind turbines in non-utility projects is the high cost associated with them.
Wind turbines for utility scale applications are typically installed in large, multi-turbine wind farms which are connected to the nation's transmission system. Large scale utility-scale wind power projects involve multiple land, construction, and other permits, as well as careful management of relationships with different stakeholders involved in the process. The easing of barriers to the installation of utility scale projects is expected to drive the growth of the utility scale segment.
Regional Insights
The Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 42.66% share in 2021 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. China accounted for the highest installation in the region due to ongoing initiatives and investments undertaken by the government to augment the industry growth.
China’s onshore wind power industry is projected to rise steadily in the coming years as the government is encouraging the expansion of renewable infrastructure, to reduce the stake of thermal power and reduce pollution in the country’s power generation. This is likely to determine the progress of wind power projects in the country which, in turn, is projected to drive the growth of the overall market.
North America and Europe are recognized as the competitive and mature regions in the wind power market. In 2017, IKEA Systems B.V. had amplified its direct ownership of wind power energy assets for self-generation purposes in North America to almost 0.4 GW. The Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of an offshore wind power plant is already viable in European markets.
For instance, the Netherlands and Germany have zero-subsidy wind power projects and lower auction prices. Thus, offshore wind farms would be competitive in other markets across the region in upcoming years, dropping in the short range of costs for fossil fuels such as gas and coal.
