Global Wind Power Industry Segmentation
Wind power is generated by the force of the wind, mainly through the rotor, which transforms kinetic energy into mechanical energy, and through the generator, thus using the principle of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which finally converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.
The wind power market is segmented by location and geography. By location, the market is segmented into onshore and offshore wind installations. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the wind power market across major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done based on installed capacity (GW).

Global Wind Power Market Size Summary
The wind power market is poised for significant expansion over the forecast period, driven by favorable government policies, increased investments, and the declining cost of wind energy. The market's growth is expected to be robust, with technological advancements in offshore wind turbines creating substantial opportunities. The Asia-Pacific region, particularly China, India, and Australia, is anticipated to be the fastest-growing market due to rising energy demand and supportive government initiatives. Europe remains a leader in offshore wind, with its substantial operational wind farms meeting a significant portion of the continent's electricity needs. The shift towards offshore wind farms is gaining momentum, as they offer higher wind speeds and fewer land obstructions compared to onshore installations.
Despite the promising growth prospects, the market faces challenges from the increasing adoption of alternative energy sources like gas-based and solar power. However, the offshore wind segment is expected to see considerable growth, supported by substantial investments and government budgets in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States. These investments are aimed at enhancing research and development, as well as expanding offshore wind capacity. The market is characterized by fragmentation, with key players such as Acciona Energia SA, Duke Energy Corporation, and Orsted AS actively participating in the sector. Overall, large-scale installations and upcoming projects are set to drive the wind power market's growth between 2024 and 2029.
