Global demand for wind turbines is forecast to increase 3.6% per year through 2024 to $67.2 billion. Despite an expected 26% decline in wind turbine demand in 2020, largely due to projected delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries have ramped wind turbine construction to meet renewable energy targets set by federal governments or established as part of a larger signatory body such as the Paris Agreement. Many of these renewable energy targets are set for 2025 and will likely lead to a ramping up of new wind energy installations in 2023 and 2024.
Wind turbine demand, while growing rapidly on a global level, can be quite volatile in specific countries on year-over-year basis, responding in many cases to public sector incentives for installation and use. This type of volatility makes forecasting demand difficult. However, a number of factors allow general trends to be discerned and predicted, including:
Through 2024, the vast majority of additional wind energy demand will come from the Asia/Pacific region, driven by strong expected growth in China. In order to meet its renewable energy commitment to the Paris Agreement, China needs to construct substantial amounts of wind turbines by 2025.
Western Europe will be responsible for the next largest share of additional wind turbine demand. Many nations in the region are committed to reducing or eliminating fossil fuel energy generation over the next decade, resulting in continued demand for wind turbines. However, because many West European nations already have well established wind energy industries, growth in the region will be slow.
The fastest gains will be in countries with less advanced infrastructure, particularly Eastern Europe, though this is primarily because of the underdeveloped wind industry in these areas. Wind turbine demand is particularly volatile in these areas, as many nations are not required to meet renewable energy targets and thus have little incentive to invest in wind turbine systems. Limited government support for wind turbines (and renewable energy sources in general) also prevents more rapid gains.
