Overview:
The wind turbine rotor blades market is expected to reach US$ 45.67 Bn in 2027, growing at a CAGR of 12.64% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2027. The rising threat of climate change and global warming has pushed the energy sector for transition towards renewable sources. UN’s Paris climate agreement of 2016 further conveyed the message of unified global effort to enhance the support through financing and technology development. Along with this, pressure from various global NGOs has triggered the renewable energy demand from sources such as wind turbines which went upward in recent years.
Moreover, market based mechanisms such as auction, tenders and green certificates followed in Germany, France, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, and Greece were the main drivers for the new installations of wind turbines which in turn helps to grow the market of wind turbine rotor blades. Apart from this, growing interest of companies in developing bladeless wind turbine which will be cheaper and more silent than contemporary one will restrain the market in near future. Moreover, other renewable energy sources such as solar power, tidal/Ocean-wave energy source are expected to impact the market in coming years.

Onshore Installations Continue to Lead the Segment
New onshore installations of wind turbines reached the capacity of more than 45 GW in 2018. Onshore installations segment is driven by China and the U.S. collectively having more than 28 GW of onshore capacity installed. Production Tax Credit (PTC) of the U.S. is identified to be the main driver for increasing installations of wind turbines in the U.S. market. New RPS policy of the U.S. states is expected to further increase the new installations in coming future. In addition to this, Germany, India and Brazil have also installed about 2 GW of wind capacity in 2018, this has helped the rotor blades market to grow further in 2018. In global scenario, onshore segment captures more than 85% of market share.

Asia Pacific Garnered Largest Market Share in 2018
The Asia Pacific market growth was led by China in 2018, accounting for over 45% of the regional market revenue. Introduction of auction policy by China in 2018 has triggered the market upward. This has helped China to install 21.2 GW of wind capacity in a single year. In addition to this, India, Australia and other Asian countries together installed about 3.7 GW of onshore wind capacity in 2018. In offshore segment also Asia Pacific has installed about 1.8 GW of wind capacity in 2018. Favorable and stable government policies, trust of investors in market growth were the main drivers for the market in 2018. Asia Pacific installed more than 50% of global wind turbines capacity in 2018.
