Wind Power Market Growing at a CAGR of 10.52% by 2031 Driven by Renewable Power Demand and Asia-Pacific Dominance, Reports Mordor Intelligence
HYDERABAD, India, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to recent reports from Mordor Intelligence, the global wind power market size in terms of installed base is expected to grow from 1.4 Terra-watt in 2026 to reach 2.31 Terra-watt by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.52%. Expansion is being supported by rising corporate renewable-energy agreements, large offshore wind installations, and favorable government incentives that improve project financing.
Demand from AI-driven data centers is also accelerating long-term clean power contracts. Meanwhile, floating wind technology is unlocking deeper offshore locations with stronger wind capacity, although raw material costs and rare-earth supply risks continue to challenge profit
Wind Power Market Drivers and Key Trends:
Expansion of High-Capacity Turbines
The shift toward larger wind turbines is improving project efficiency by lowering installation and maintenance costs while increasing energy output. Developers are now exploring locations that were previously considered less profitable, especially in offshore regions. Although transporting oversized components remains challenging, ongoing upgrades in ports and logistics infrastructure are helping ease these issues and strengthening the long-term competitiveness of the wind power market.
"Assessment of the wind power market increasingly requires comparison across project pipelines, policy direction, and regional investment activity, making transparent research assumptions and source validation critical for executive decision-making. Mordor Intelligence applies a structured methodology grounded in cross-verified industry data and consistent market tracking to support commercially reliable interpretation of sector developments" says Himanshu Vasisht, Senior Research Manager, Mordor Intelligence.
Rising Renewable Deals from Data Centers
Technology companies and cloud service providers are increasingly signing long-term renewable energy agreements to support growing electricity demand from AI and digital infrastructure. These contracts provide stable revenue for developers and encourage new wind projects near major grid connections and data hubs, making clean energy procurement a core business strategy rather than just a sustainability effort.
Government Support Strengthening Investments
Policy measures in the United States and Europe continue to support wind energy expansion through incentives, simplified approvals, and local manufacturing initiatives. These programs are improving investor confidence, reducing financing pressure, and helping developers move projects forward more quickly across key markets.

Wind Power Market Trends by Region
Asia-Pacific continues to lead the wind power market, supported by large-scale installations, expanding offshore projects, and strong government-backed renewable energy programs. Countries such as China and India remain key growth engines, while Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam are increasingly focusing on floating wind and export-linked clean energy projects.
Europe remains a center for offshore wind innovation, driven by faster permitting systems, local manufacturing expansion, and repowering of older wind farms. Countries across the region are upgrading existing infrastructure with advanced turbines to increase efficiency without requiring additional land.
In North America, the market shows steady onshore development despite policy uncertainty surrounding offshore leasing. Grid connection delays remain a challenge in several regions, although supportive clean-energy incentives continue to encourage investment activity.
