The wind turbine tower market was valued at US$ 8,912.1 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 16,438.5 million by 2030; it is expected to register a CAGR of 8% during 2022–2030. The research and development of next-generation or advanced wind turbine towers is likely to remain key trends in the market.
The global wind turbine tower market is projected to experience considerable growth during the analyzed timeframe owing to the increasing number of onshore & offshore wind power projects, particularly in remote locations. Additionally, the government regulations towards reducing carbon emissions by focusing on power generation through renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and others are expected to drive the market growth from 2022 to 2030. Moreover, government initiatives towards the installation of wind farms across the globe are projected to fuel market growth in the coming years.
With the mounting population and industrialization, the demand for energy is also rising at the global level. The rise in energy consumption also boosted the need for renewable power generation in developing and developed economies. This has resulted in driving the demand for wind power infrastructure across the globe. Wind power generation has gained a high level of importance and acceptability across the world compared to other renewable energy sources. Advanced developments in technology in the design and development of wind power blades, turbines, foundations, turbine towers, shafts, and other components have contributed to significant advancement in wind energy adoption and in achieving maximum power from available wind. As per the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the global wind installed capacity reached 1,017 GW by the end of 2023 from 825 GW in 2021. Thus, such an increase in the wind installed capacity is expected to increase in the coming years, owing to the advantages of wind energy and favorable policies, incentives, and tax rebates. Such a rise in wind installation capacity across the globe is anticipated to be the key driver in the wind turbine tower market.
Wind towers are mainly made of steel, which accounts for almost 66-79% of total turbine cost, followed by fiberglass, plastic, or resin (11-16%), iron (5-17%), and copper and aluminum (1-2%). Wind turbine towers are predominantly made of steel. The growing commercial and technological advancement is anticipated to lower the manufacturing cost of wind turbine towers. The instability of demand for steel in the domestic market of China and the increasing export of steel from China is impacting the steel prices at the global level. The continuous downturn of steel prices is reducing the overall operational expenses of the wind projects. The declining operation cost of wind energy projects is positively impacting the wind energy sector, which is boosting the demand for wind turbine towers.
The floating wind technology is the offshore wind turbine mounted on a floating structure in the sea that ensures the turbine generates electricity in water depths. The floating or offshore wind technology is highly efficient in harsh environmental conditions and thus capable of producing huge amounts of power. This floating wind technology is globally adopted across various countries such as China, Germany, Japan, the UK, France, Belgium, and Denmark. The growth prospects in the adoption of floating wind technology are primarily attributed to an increase in advancement in technology, associated advantages, and turnkey solutions provided by various service providers. The growing awareness for achieving clean energy targets by various countries is propelling the demand for floating offshore wind power, which is posing a potential opportunity for the growth of the wind turbine tower market.
The Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence report has identified 22 countries that are most ready to become major players in the nascent renewable energy technology. In January 2022, The United Kingdom government announced 11 renewable power projects that will each be awarded up to US$959.23 million as it puts forward US$2.97 billion to boost the renewable energy generated in the UK. Such investment in offshore or floating wind technology across the world is projected to fuel market growth in the coming years.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the wind turbine tower market analysis are tower type, and deployment type
The geographic scope of the wind turbine tower market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
Asia Pacific dominated the wind turbine tower market in 2022. The Asia Pacific region includes China, Australia, India, South Korea, Japan, & the Rest of Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific leads the wind turbine tower market owing to its growing focus on integrating renewable energy resources in the overall power mix and target of mitigating the environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels. China held the leading position in the global wind market in terms of onshore and offshore wind installations. The growing focus of turbine tower manufacturers on the supply chain ecosystem also majorly drives the overall wind turbine tower market growth. The growing positive approach toward encouraging the utilization of clean energy resources instead of conventional sources for power generation by funding renewable projects, subsidies, and policies fuels the demand for wind turbine towers in India and Australia.
