Wind Power Generation Market to 2030 - Growth, Size, Share
[Research Report] The wind power generation market size was valued at US$ 127.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 247.2 billion by 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% during 2022–2030.
Analyst Perspective:
The scope of the wind power generation market report encompasses North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM).
The wind power generation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. This is owing to the rise in onshore and offshore wind power generation in regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. The growth in the global wind power generation market in Asia Pacific is primarily attributed to increasing investment in the renewable industry, exponential increase in industrialization and urbanization, wind energy generation capacity, new electrification projects, and grid-strengthening initiatives. According to a new study, the Asia Pacific wind energy sector is set for rapid expansion. It is expected to make up nearly a quarter of the power capacity mix in the region this decade, as high domestic demand for offshore wind power turns mainland China into the world's largest market by 2030.
Market Overview:
Wind is used to generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy of moving air into power generation. In modern wind turbines, the wind turns the rotor blades, which further converts kinetic energy into rotational energy. This rotational energy is transferred to the wind power generator via a shaft and thus generates electrical energy. According to the IRENA, the installed wind generation capacity globally increased by more than 95% from 2000 to 2022. The global onshore wind capacity grew from 178 GW in 2010 to 699 GW in 2020, while offshore wind grew proportionally more, albeit from a lower level, from 3.1 GW in 2010 to 34.4 GW in 2020.
The upcoming wind projects in the pipeline are expected to commence operating in 2024 and 2025, which will further accelerate the wind power generation capacity. As per the report published by the Swedish Energy Agency in March 2022, the electricity generated from wind is projected to rise from 27.4 TWh in 2021 to 46.9 TWh by 2024 in Sweden. According to the published analysis, Sweden is expected to increase wind power generation by more than 70% by 2024 compared to 2021. This initiative aims to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels and oil and gas supplied by Russia. In addition, Ocean Winds, a joint venture between Portugal's main utility, EDP, and Engie, a French company, announced its plans to invest US$ 3.15 billion to develop offshore wind projects by 2025. The equal partners in the venture are targeting to produce ~7GW of new capacity. Thus, such upcoming investment initiatives are projected to benefit the wind power generation market.
As per the US Department of Energy, the US offshore wind market is expected to witness massive growth in the next decade. Decreasing offshore auction prices, increasing water depths of projects, rising turbine capacity, and reduced levelized cost of energy are the prominent future wind power generation market trends which are further expected to benefit the market growth from 2022 to 2030. The impact of COVID-19 was reflected in a slowdown in project commissioning in markets such as the US, India, and Taiwan. Despite the resurgence of COVID-19, the global onshore wind auction activities stayed on track overall in 2021. China played a leading role by allotting a total of 50.6 GW of onshore wind capacity in 2021, followed by Spain, India, South Africa, and Germany. The current global scenario depicts an influx in energy policies, new policy initiatives, and massive investment prospects, which increase the trajectory for wind installations to achieve both net zero emissions and energy security targets.

Market Driver:
Government initiatives to promote Installation of Wind farms
Support from various governments in terms of policies and investment for increasing the installation of wind energy projects is expected to fuel the wind power generation market growth over the coming years. The Indian government is promoting wind power projects in the country through private sector investments by providing various fiscal and financial incentives such as Accelerated Depreciation benefits and concessional custom duty exemption on certain components of wind electric generators. In January 2022, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) started providing low-cost loans to fund decarbonization activities. Further, Beijing's current policy initiatives focus on tax breaks and low-interest loans to low-carbon project developers, power market reforms, and grid improvement. In Canada, the Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations (ORER) initiative is expected to support the implementation of Offshore Renewable Energy Projects and Offshore Power Lines by developing modern safety and environmental protection regulations for offshore renewable energy (ORE) projects and power lines in Canada's offshore areas.
Segmental Analysis:
Global wind power generation market analysis by deployment type is segmented into onshore and offshore. The onshore deployment segment accounted for 80.94% of the total wind power generation market share in the year 2022. It is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The offshore segment is expected to register a growth rate of 10.5% in the global market from 2022 to 2030.
