The wind turbine blade inspection services market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.25 billion in 2023 to $7.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to the increasing capacity of wind energy, aging infrastructure of wind turbines, regulatory compliance requirements, advancements in inspection technologies, and the development of industry standards.
The wind turbine blade inspection market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.46 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rapid expansion of wind energy capacity, a heightened focus on transitioning to renewable energy sources, the emergence of offshore wind farms, the integration of predictive maintenance technologies, and a focus on cost reduction and efficiency. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of autonomous inspection systems, a shift towards remote monitoring and analytics, the integration of IoT and cloud computing, the development of advanced materials and coatings, and the expansion of digital twin technology.
The rising population of aging wind turbines is anticipated to drive the expansion of the wind turbine blade inspection services market in the future. Aging wind turbines are those that have been in operation for a considerable duration, often nearing or exceeding their expected operational lifespan. Wind turbine blade inspection services play a crucial role in detecting and evaluating structural degradation, damage, and wear on the blades, ensuring continued safe and efficient operation. For example, GEV Wind Power Limited, a UK-based company specializing in wind turbine blade maintenance and repair, projects that approximately 25,000 tons of wind turbine blades will reach the end of their operational lifespan by 2025, with expectations to increase to 52,000 tons by 2030. Consequently, the growing population of aging wind turbines is fueling the growth of the wind turbine blade inspection services market.
Key players in the wind turbine blade inspection services market are focusing on strategic partnerships to drive innovation and bolster their market positions. Strategic partnerships involve collaborative endeavors between multiple entities, typically organizations or businesses, aimed at achieving mutual objectives or strategic goals. For instance, in January 2023, the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), a Germany-based research institute, teamed up with LATODA, a Germany-based software company, to develop a novel method for enhancing the energy yield of wind turbines. This method utilizes thermography and artificial intelligence to inspect rotor blades for erosion, a common issue that can lead to performance losses in wind turbines due to damage from raindrops. The inspection process entails using an infrared camera to capture thermographic images, which are then analyzed using sophisticated image processing and AI algorithms to efficiently plan maintenance and repair work. This automated data evaluation enables turbine operators to make faster and more reliable decisions regarding necessary measures.
In February 2024, Swire Renewable Energy A/S, a Denmark-based company specializing in asset lifecycle management, acquired Altitec Blade Services for an undisclosed sum.
