Wind Turbine Foundation Market Analysis

The wind turbine foundation market is expected to experience considerable growth during the analyzed timeframe owing to the increasing number of onshore & offshore wind power projects, particularly in remote locations. Additionally, the government regulations towards reducing carbon emissions by focusing on power generation through renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and others are expected to drive the market growth from 2023 to 2031. Moreover, government initiatives towards the installation of wind farms across the globe are projected to fuel market growth in the coming years.

Wind Turbine Foundation Market Overview

With the mounting population and industrialization, the demand for energy is also rising at the global level. The rise in energy consumption also boosted the need for renewable power generation in developing and developed economies. This has resulted in driving the demand for wind power infrastructure across the globe. Wind power generation has gained a high level of importance and acceptability across the world compared to other renewable energy sources. Advanced developments in technology in the design and development of wind power blades, turbines, foundations, shafts, and other components have contributed to significant advancement in wind energy adoption and in achieving maximum power from available wind. As per the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the global wind installed capacity reached 1,017 GW by the end of 2023 from 825 GW in 2021.

Thus, such an increase in the wind installed capacity is expected to increase in the coming years, owing to the advantages of wind energy and favorable policies, incentives, and tax rebates. Such a rise in wind installation capacity across the globe is anticipated to be the key driver in the wind turbine foundation market.

Wind Turbine Foundation Market Drivers and Opportunities

Government Initiatives to Promote the Installation of Wind Farms to Favor Market

An increase in support from various governments of different countries in terms of policies, subsidies, and investment for raising the installation of wind energy projects is projected to fuel the wind turbine foundation market growth over the analyzed timeframe. The Indian government is engaged in promoting wind power plants in the country through private sector funding by providing various fiscal and financial incentives such as Accelerated Depreciation benefits and concessional custom duty or tax exemption on certain components of wind electric generators. For instance, Germany is planning to introduce a bill to accelerate wind energy expansion. The new law will apply binding area targets for onshore wind energy expansion in the federal states. In April 2022, Germany planned to deploy offshore wind targets to more than 10 GW per year from 2025 with the help of a historic package called the Easter Package, which is the most profound series of changes in German energy policy. With the help of these government initiatives, 80% of Germany's electricity demand will be covered by electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030.

The Growing Focus on Floating Wind Technology

The floating wind technology is the offshore wind turbine mounted on a floating structure in the sea that ensures the turbine generates electricity in water depths. The floating or offshore wind technology is highly efficient in harsh environmental conditions and thus capable of producing huge amounts of power. This floating wind technology is globally adopted across various countries such as China, Germany, Japan, the UK, France, Belgium, and Denmark. The growth prospects in the adoption of floating wind technology are primarily attributed to an increase in advancement in technology, associated advantages, and turnkey solutions provided by various service providers. The growing awareness for achieving clean energy targets by various countries is propelling the demand for floating offshore wind power, which is posing a potential opportunity for the growth of the wind turbine foundation market.

The Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence report has identified 22 countries that are most ready to become major players in the nascent renewable energy technology. In January 2022, The United Kingdom government announced 11 renewable power projects that will each be awarded up to US$959.23 million as it puts forward US$2.97 billion to boost the renewable energy generated in the UK. Such investment in offshore or floating wind technology across the world is projected to fuel market growth in the coming years.
