A wind turbine is a device designed to generate power by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind. It transforms wind energy into electricity through the aerodynamic force generated by rotor blades, which operate similar to airplane wings or helicopter rotor blades. As the wind flows across the blades, the air pressure on one side decreases, facilitating the conversion of wind energy into mechanical energy.
The main components of wind turbines include the rotor blade, gearbox, generator, nacelle, and others. Rotor blades are particularly crucial for the performance and cost-effectiveness of a wind power system. The shape of these blades directly influences the system's efficiency by determining how kinetic energy from the wind is converted into mechanical energy. Wind turbines can have horizontal or vertical axes and can be deployed both onshore and offshore. They may be grid-connected or stand-alone, catering to industrial, commercial, residential, and utility applications.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have affected the wind turbine market by increasing costs of imported blades, generators, gearboxes, and electronic control systems. Offshore and high capacity turbines are most impacted, especially in asia pacific and north america. Elevated costs have delayed some project timelines. Conversely, tariffs are encouraging domestic turbine manufacturing and localized supply chain development.
The wind turbine market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides wind turbine market statistics, including wind turbine industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a wind turbine market share, detailed wind turbine market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the wind turbine industry. This wind turbine market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The wind turbine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $178.89 billion in 2025 to $194.83 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to renewable energy policies, declining wind power costs, climate change commitments, grid diversification needs, fossil fuel price volatility.
The wind turbine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $283.8 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to net zero targets, offshore wind investments, grid scale renewable integration, advancements in turbine efficiency, energy security initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid expansion of utility scale wind projects, increasing deployment of offshore wind farms, advancements in turbine blade materials, integration of digital monitoring systems, growth of high capacity wind turbines.
Increasing demand for renewable energy sources is contributing to the growth of the wind turbine market. Renewable energy refers to power generated from sources that are naturally replenished and do not run out. Unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, wind energy produces significantly fewer environmental impacts. Wind turbines generate electricity without releasing emissions that pollute the air or water, and they do not require water for cooling. They also help reduce dependence on fossil fuel-based power, lowering overall air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions. For example, in February 2025, the World Resources Institute, a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that solar energy reached a new milestone in 2024 by adding an estimated 39.6 gigawatts (GW) of capacity, surpassing the 27.4 GW installed in 2023. Therefore, the increasing demand for renewable energy sources is driving the growth of the wind turbine market.
Major companies in the wind turbine market are focusing on developing next-generation ultra-high-capacity offshore turbines-often called multi-megawatt "super WTG" platforms-to increase energy production and enhance project economics. These advanced offshore turbines feature much larger rotor diameters and higher power ratings, allowing them to generate significantly more electricity per unit and reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCoE) for large-scale wind farms. For example, in December 2024, Siemens Gamesa, a Germany-based energy automation company, began installing a 21 MW offshore wind turbine prototype at the Osterild Test Centre in Denmark. This prototype, with a rotor height exceeding 300 meters from base to blade tip, is designed to deliver exceptional power output per turbine. This trend enables developers to reduce the number of turbines needed per project and optimize operations and maintenance costs. However, the technical complexity, higher upfront costs, and logistical challenges of deploying such large offshore units may limit adoption in regions lacking adequate installation infrastructure or financing.
In July 2023, Ryse Energy, a United Arab Emirates-based global leader in renewable energy systems, acquired Primus Wind Power for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Ryse Energy's market presence in America and diversify its portfolio of small wind turbines. Both companies expect the acquisition to help broaden their customer base for microturbine products. Primus Wind Power is a US-based manufacturer of portable wind turbines and air breeze turbine systems.
