Onshore Wind Power Market Report 2026

The onshore wind power market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $46.23 billion in 2025 to $49.1 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to declining wind turbine prices, expansion of grid infrastructure, increasing electricity demand from urbanization, early adoption of community wind models, supportive renewable energy policies.

The onshore wind power market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $61.72 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in decentralized energy generation, rising electrification of industries, expansion of smart grid integration, growing demand for reliable renewable power, increased focus on lifecycle optimization of wind assets. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of cost-optimized onshore wind projects, rising deployment of medium and large wind farms, growing focus on grid-connected wind power, expansion of community wind projects, enhanced integration of digital monitoring systems.

The growing demand for renewable energy is expected to drive the expansion of the onshore wind power market in the coming years. Renewable energy is derived from natural sources that are replenished on a human timescale and are not depleted with use. The rising demand for renewable energy is primarily fueled by the need to reduce carbon emissions and address environmental concerns. Onshore wind power plays a significant role in meeting this demand by offering a reliable, clean, and increasingly cost-efficient source of electricity, thus supporting the overall shift toward more sustainable energy solutions. For example, in January 2023, the International Trade Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that in June 2023, the country's peak energy demand reached a record high of 223 gigawatts (GW), reflecting a 3.4% increase from the previous peak in 2022. Forecasts indicate that energy consumption will continue to rise. As a result, the growing demand for renewable energy is driving the growth of the onshore wind power market.

Leading companies in the onshore wind power market are focusing on developing advanced onshore wind turbines to improve wind resource management and enhance overall renewable energy production. Onshore wind turbines, which are land-based devices used to generate electricity by capturing wind energy, are commonly installed in wind farms. For instance, in April 2023, Goldwind, a wind turbine manufacturer based in China, introduced two new turbine models, the GWH221-8.X-10 and the GWH24X-12. The GWH24X-12.X, with a projected capacity of 12 megawatts (MW), is set to become the largest onshore wind turbine, surpassing even the largest offshore turbines like GE's 14 MW Haliade-X. This advancement was supported by the Chinese government and industry partners, allowing Goldwind to enhance its technology. Goldwind is now the fourth largest globally in installed wind energy capacity, with a significant presence in China and projects on multiple continents.

In September 2023, Repsol S.A., a Spain-based energy and petrochemical company with global upstream and downstream operations, acquired ConnectGen LLC from Quantum Capital Group for $768 million (approximately €715 million). This acquisition significantly strengthens Repsol’s position in the renewable energy sector. With ConnectGen’s impressive pipeline of 20 GW in onshore wind, solar, and energy storage projects, Repsol is well-positioned to achieve its goal of 20 GW of renewable capacity by the end of the decade. ConnectGen LLC, a US-based company, specializes in developing high-quality wind, solar, and energy storage projects.
