APAC is estimated to contribute 45% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. APAC comprises several developing economies that are racing toward industrialization and urbanization. In addition, countries such as China and India hold a major share when it comes to the global economy. Moreover, with the rise in environmental awareness along with governmental support, the region is able to explore renewable sources of energy such as solar and windpower. For instance, in India, the government announced in the year 2021 that the share of renewable energy in the country was 26.53% of the total installed generation capacity in the year 2020. Furthermore, the government has launched various schemes, such as the small hydropower program. Hence, such factors drive the market growth in APAC during the forecast period.
In the Small Wind-Turbine Market, micro wind-turbines are driving market growth. These turbines contribute to distributed wind energy and Sustainable Energy initiatives, particularly in Remote Area Power Supply scenarios.
However, challenges persist in meeting Regulatory Standards and ensuring quality assurance while maintaining price competitiveness and brand recognition. The market sees a surge in Turbine Design innovations and Research and Development efforts to optimize turbine efficiency and turbine performance. Addressing concerns about Environmental Impact, turbine maintenance, and turbine Installation remains critical for sustaining the Small Turbine Industry amid rising demand for wind power generation and off-grid power generation solutions.
Market research and growth indicate a rising interest in small-scale wind farms, driven by the advantages of Vertical-axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). These turbines, favored for their efficiency and quiet operation, are increasingly popular in residential settings. Unlike their horizontal counterparts, VAWTs boast fewer components and enhanced safety, making them a preferred choice for homeowners aiming for distributed energy generation.
Additionally, their scalability ensures maintained efficiency even in smaller installations. Although not as ubiquitous as horizontal turbines, VAWTs are gaining traction in the wind-energy market, backed by turbine manufacturers investing in small turbine technology and improving turbine components like blades for optimal wind energy harvesting. Such developments fuel market forecasting for the foreseeable future.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the adoption of hybrid street lighting systems. Streetlight is offered by power authorities, and a large amount of money is spent on lighting up streets in public places. In addition, it ensures visibility during the night. As a result, it has led to an increase in the energy bills of local municipalities.
Moreover, to harness power, renewable resources such as fossil fuel or other sources, which are used in generators or inventors, are used, which ensure stable, consistent, and reliable power. In addition, solarwind hybrid light can be used to generate electricity. Furthermore, the combination of these turbine and solar-energy used in a streetlight is a system used to generate power, which jointly charges the LED streetlamp with the right power supply. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
Competition from alternative sources of energy poses a significant challenge to the wind energy systems market. Despite turbine installations being cheaper than solar PV systems, fierce competition exists from fossil fuels, solar, and hydropower in emerging markets like Chile and Mexico. Even in naturally windy regions like Argentina, the declining prices of solar PV systems intensify the competition.
Wind Farm Equipment and Small Wind Power Systems face economic pressure as they vie against lower-cost electricity sources. This dynamic landscape impedes turbine capacity growth and hampers the market's progress, projecting a challenging forecast period for the wind energy industry.
