Growing Awareness of Climate Change Drive Asia Pacific Wind Anemometer Market
Many countries have set determined climate goals, including increasing renewable energy capacity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to the UN Environment Programme, ~66% of electricity generation and 80% of global energy are generated from fossil fuels, contributing approximately 60% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accountable for climate change. A shift to cleaner forms of energy has already begun in many countries. Wind power is a clean and renewable energy source. To spin a generator and create electricity, wind turbines use mechanical power to control energy from the wind. Not only is wind an inexhaustible and abundant resource, but it also gives electricity without polluting the air or burning any fuel. Wind continues to be a substantial source of renewable power in Asia Pacific, which helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Governments of various countries are taking initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Also, the wind anemometers are essential for assessing wind energy potential at specific locations, and to align with these, the demand for these devices is increasing. Hence, the growing awareness of climate change is bolstering the wind anemometer market growth.Asia Pacific Wind Anemometer Market Overview
The wind anemometer market in Asia Pacific is segmented into Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. India and China emphasize self-reliant strategies, and both governments are incorporating several strategies to fulfill their energy needs. According to the Press Information Bureau, India has made great strides in generating wind energy over the years, and it now ranks fourth in wind power capacity globally. Wind energy is necessary for India's efforts to have 50% of its electric power installed from nonfossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2070. India has considerable potential for both onshore and offshore wind energy production. With government efforts, India developed a domestic wind manufacturing capacity of over 15 GW, making India Aatma Nirbhar. In another instance, according to the popular mechanism, China has shifted to the largest wind turbines. In July 2023, China Three Gorges Corporation announced the installation of the 16-megawatt MySE 16-260 turbine at the offshore wind farm near Fujian Province. The installed turbine behemoth is 152 meters (500 feet) tall, and each single blade is 123 meters (403 feet) and weighs 54 metric ton.Asia Pacific Wind Anemometer Market Segmentation
The Asia Pacific wind anemometer market is segmented based on measuring type, anemometers type, applications, and country.Based on measuring type, the Asia Pacific wind anemometer market is bifurcated into velocity anemometers and pressure anemometers. The velocity anemometers segment held a larger share in 2022.
Based on anemometers type, the Asia Pacific wind anemometer market is segmented into mechanical, ultrasonic, and others. The mechanical segment held the largest share in 2022.
In terms of applications, the Asia Pacific wind anemometer market is bifurcated into onshore and offshore. The onshore segment held a larger share in 2022.
Based on country, the Asia Pacific wind anemometer market is categorized into Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. China dominated the Asia Pacific wind anemometer market in 2022.
