Wind Turbine OEM Market Forecasts to 2032 - Global Analysis By Turbine Type (Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine [HAWT], and Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine [VAWT]), Installation (Onshore, and Offshore), Rating Capacity, Component, Application, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Wind Turbine OEM Market is accounted for $177.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $306.3 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period. A Wind Turbine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) designs, develops, and produces complete wind turbines or key components such as blades, generators, and nacelles. These manufacturers supply fully integrated turbine systems to energy developers and operators, ensuring optimal performance, safety, and efficiency. They often handle engineering, testing, and quality assurance, while also offering installation and maintenance support to maximize turbine reliability and lifespan in renewable energy projects.

According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the wind industry installed a record ~117 GW of new capacity in 2024.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising global demand for clean energy and carbon reduction targets

Governments, corporations and utilities are accelerating net-zero commitments, prompting large-scale procurement of wind turbines to replace fossil-fuel capacity. Policy frameworks, renewable auctions and green financing have made projects more bankable, encouraging OEMs to scale production and pursue efficiency improvements. Manufacturers are investing in larger rotors and higher-capacity drivetrains to raise yields, while operators emphasize lifecycle economics and grid integration to meet decarbonization goals and attract long-term investment.

Restraint:

High capital and maintenance costs for turbine installation

The upfront capital required for turbine procurement, foundations, transport and grid connection remains a major barrier, especially for offshore and developing-market projects. Ongoing operation and maintenance require specialised vessels, technician teams and spare parts inventories, elevating lifecycle expenses and affecting auction competitiveness. Challenging financing terms, insurance premiums and extended project lead times can deter developers and delay commissioning, reducing near-term deployment in marginal sites until cost and financing structures improve.

Opportunity:

Expansion into offshore wind

Offshore wind opens a significant growth corridor for OEMs through higher capacity factors and the ability to deploy much larger turbine platforms. Advances in floating foundations, installation vessels and deeper-water designs extend development into new geographies previously out of reach, while policy incentives and corporate offtake deals enlarge the project pipeline. Local manufacturing clusters and port upgrades create regional industrial opportunities. Furthermore, the offshore transition supports aftermarket service expansion and long-term maintenance contracts that can improve OEM revenue visibility.

Threat:

Competition from solar and other renewable energy sources

Rapid cost declines in solar PV combined with improving battery storage economics challenge wind's share of new capacity in many sun-rich regions. Hybrid procurement models that blend solar, wind and storage favour integrated solutions and can shift buyer preference away from single-technology procurements. Policy incentives aimed at the lowest-cost renewable option may disadvantage wind, particularly onshore projects with lower capacity factors. OEMs must therefore emphasise total energy value, firming capability and operational flexibility to preserve market share.

Covid-19 Impact:

The pandemic disrupted supply chains, delayed component deliveries and postponed construction campaigns because of travel restrictions and workforce constraints, causing short-term pauses in installations and deferred investment decisions. Governments later included renewables in recovery packages and reaffirmed decarbonization targets, which helped restart auction schedules and project pipelines. As logistics normalized, manufacturers and developers accelerated digital planning, improved inventory strategies and diversified suppliers to reduce future risk, enabling turbine demand and project activity to recover steadily across most major markets.

The horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. HAWT configurations dominate utility-scale applications thanks to proven aerodynamics, mature manufacturing lines and compatibility with very large rotor diameters and high hub heights. Their adaptability across onshore and offshore settings, combined with established installation practices and robust aftermarket support, makes them attractive to developers. Institutional familiarity, predictable performance records and accessible maintenance ecosystems further reinforce HAWT preference among independent power producers seeking reliable long-term performance.

The offshore segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the offshore segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. Offshore projects typically deliver superior capacity factors and accommodate very large machines that enhance energy yield per site. Policy backing, targeted port and transmission investments, and corporate offtake commitments are expanding viable pipelines across Europe, Asia and North America. Technological progress in floating foundations and specialised installation logistics reduces barriers for deepwater deployment, while growth in local supply chains lowers costs and supports regional industrial development tied to offshore expansion.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share. Rapid economic growth, aggressive renewable targets and significant capacity auctions across China, India and Southeast Asia underpin demand for turbines. Large onshore pipelines, expanding offshore ambitions and rising electrification needs drive procurement. Local manufacturing scale, favourable labor markets and strategic port investments support cost-competitive installations, while regional OEM partnerships and policy incentives further encourage deployment, making Asia Pacific the primary contributor to global turbine volume in the medium term.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR. Rising electricity demand, ambitious national decarbonization plans and expanding offshore programs create a fast-growing market for both onshore and offshore turbines. Market liberalization, improving grid infrastructure and growing investment from regional and international developers accelerate project development. In addition, increasing local content requirements and port upgrades stimulate domestic supply chains and manufacturing capacity, enabling faster deployment and a steeper growth trajectory compared with more mature markets.
