global onshore wind energy market size was USD 554300 million in 2021 and market is projected to touch 4338472.31 Million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 22.5% during the forecast period.

Onshore wind energy refers to the generation of electricity from wind turbines that are installed on land, as opposed to offshore wind turbines that are installed in bodies of water, such as oceans or lakes. In addition, onshore wind turbines typically consist of a tower, a rotor (blades), and a generator. When the wind blows through the rotor blades, it causes them to rotate, which in turn drives a generator that converts the rotational energy into electrical energy.

The market is predicted to continue growing with a significant CAGR in the coming years driven by falling costs, technological advancements, and increasing environmental concerns. The market is segmented based on, by type, by applications, and geographical expansion of the market. Besides, utility and non-utility are the most popular segment to generate the highest demand for wind energy. 

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Causes Disruptions in the Construction Schedules and Projects

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the onshore wind energy market. The pandemic has disrupted supply chains, construction schedules, and project financing, causing delays and uncertainties in the development of new wind energy projects. Additionally, the pandemic has led to a decline in electricity demand in some regions which reduced the immediate need for new wind energy capacity. However, the market is anticipated to rise significantly over the forecast period with growing awareness of the importance of renewable energy.

Latest Trends

"Trend of Increasing Turbine Sizes and Efficiency Expand the Market Scope"

The onshore wind energy market is one of the fastest-growing industries in the power & energy industry with growing development in the market. Increasing turbine sizes and efficiency is one of the latest trends, as wind turbine manufacturers are developing larger and more efficient turbines, which can generate more electricity with fewer turbines and lower costs. Along with this, hybrid systems, where wind energy projects are being combined with other renewable energy sources, such as solar or battery storage, create more reliable and flexible energy systems. Therefore, extensive demand for wind energy has been noticed in the market across the world. In July 2022, Engeform Energia Renovavel and Vestas have signed a contract for PEC Energia to supply wind turbines to the Serra das Vacas wind farms in Pernambuco, Brazil.

Driving Factors

"Rising Government Policies and Regulations Across the World Augment the Market Growth"

The onshore wind energy market growth is mainly driven by rising government policies and regulations. Numerous countries have established targets for increasing the share of renewable energy in their electricity mix, and have implemented policies such as feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, and renewable energy standards to support the development of wind energy projects which are attributed to propel the demand for the wind energy all over the world in the coming years. 

"Falling Costs Wind of Energy Accelerate the Demand for the Energy"

The growth of the market is also driven by the cost of wind energy, which has declined significantly in recent years, making it increasingly competitive with fossil fuels. This is due to advances in technology, economies of scale, and improvements in the efficiency of wind turbines. Further, environmental concerns are also aiding market growth as climate change and air pollution demand clean energy sources, such as wind energy. As a result, these driving factors are expected to continue to support the growth of the onshore wind energy market in the coming years.

Restraining Factors

"Land Availability and Siting Issues Can Hinder the Market Growth"

Onshore wind energy projects require large areas of land, which can be difficult to find in densely populated areas. Additionally, siting issues such as concerns about impacts on wildlife and local communities can make it challenging to develop new wind energy projects. Furthermore, regulatory and policy uncertainty, changes in government policies or regulations can create uncertainty for wind energy developers and investors which can impact the financial viability of wind energy projects. Such factors can limit the growth of the market.
