Wind Tunnel Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Proliferation of Green Building to Favor Market 

The rising emphasis on environment-friendly and sustainable approaches in the construction sector is projected to stimulate the growth of the wind tunnel market globally. The wind tunnel can identify the wind speed around the building surface. The impact of wind force on the building is crucial, specifically in high-rise buildings with large surfaces exposed to wind, wherein the building's internal structure resists the resulting forces. Despite the increased adoption of computational fluid dynamics for structural testing because of faster computing, it is not considered suitable for routine usage in the structural designing of buildings, as its predictions need to be verified by experiments. Evaluating the impact of wind force on high-rise buildings, factories, and bridges can help building designers construct a structure that efficiently withstands the effects of wind. Therefore, the growing proliferation of the green building market is boosting the wind tunnel market growth.

Growing Demand for Electric Vehicles

Aerodynamics showcases an important role in electric cars contrasted to ICE-based vehicles, as the highest energy utilization to accelerate or drive uphill can be retrieved through energy recovery. To handle the energy recuperation needs, automotive engineers run an aerodynamic analysis of an electric passenger car utilizing wind tunnels. Wind tunnels run the primary aerodynamic testing of an electric vehicle. The increasing emphasis on mitigating environmental pollution and the rising trend towards adopting passenger electric vehicles are anticipated to offer positive opportunities for the wind tunnel market.
