The onshore wind energy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $51.4 billion in 2023 to $54.27 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, increasing environmental concerns, government incentives and policies supporting renewable energy, technological advancements that have reduced costs, growing demand for electricity, rising fossil fuel prices, public-private partnerships, and the need to diversify energy sources.

The onshore wind energy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $67.79 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, rising investments in renewable energy infrastructure, growing corporate sustainability initiatives, increasing energy demands from emerging economies, supportive regulations and carbon pricing mechanisms, advancements in grid integration and storage technologies, and the need to meet climate change mitigation goals. Major trends expected to influence this period include the integration of advanced technologies, the use of recyclable turbine materials, development of hybrid energy systems, improvements in grid connectivity solutions to support energy distribution, and ongoing technological evolution.

The increasing demand for electricity is expected to drive the growth of the onshore wind energy market in the future. This rising demand is fueled by factors such as urbanization, technological advancements, and a greater dependence on electronic devices and industrial processes. Onshore wind energy is essential for generating electricity as it provides a renewable, cost-effective, and sustainable power source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels. For example, in December 2023, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based federal agency, reported a 3.2% increase in total U.S. electricity end-use consumption compared to 2021. Retail electricity sales grew by about 2.6% in the residential sector and 4.7% in the commercial sector. Consequently, the growing demand for electricity is fueling the expansion of the onshore wind energy market.

Key players in the onshore wind energy market are focusing on developing advanced onshore wind turbines to improve turbine efficiency, optimize wind resource management, and enhance overall energy production. Onshore wind turbines are land-based devices that generate electricity by capturing wind energy, typically deployed 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 development was supported by the Chinese government and industry partners, enabling Goldwind to advance its technology. Goldwind now ranks fourth globally in installed wind energy capacity, with a strong presence in China and projects on multiple continents.

In October 2023, Statkraft AS, a Norway-based renewable energy firm, acquired Njordr Offshore Wind AB and Svevind Nordic AB for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Statkraft's position in the Swedish renewable energy market, particularly in onshore and offshore wind power development. Njordr Offshore Wind AB is a Sweden-based company specializing in solar and wind energy projects, including both onshore and offshore wind development. Svevind Nordic AB is a Sweden-based renewable energy firm focused on the development and management of onshore wind power projects.

Onshore wind energy involves generating electricity from wind turbines installed on land. These turbines capture the wind's kinetic energy and convert it into electrical power through blades connected to a generator. Onshore wind farms are generally situated in areas with consistent and strong winds, such as open plains, hilltops, and coastal regions.

The main types of onshore wind energy products are categorized by their power capacity, less than 500 kilowatts (kW), between 501 kilowatts (kW) and 2 megawatts (MW), and more than 2 megawatts (MW). Turbines with a capacity of less than 500 kilowatts are usually employed for small-scale uses, such as supplying electricity to individual homes, farms, or small businesses. Wind turbines are also classified by wind speed capabilities into high, medium, and low wind speed categories. They can be connected to the grid in different ways, such as off-grid or on-grid, and serve various applications including peak power management, power storage, demand response, frequency response, and system stability. The end users of these turbines include utilities, commercial and industrial sectors, and hybrid power systems.
