The global wind turbine rotor blades market size is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to growing number of offshore wind energy installations owing to the reduced cost of wind energy. Moreover, increasing number of aging wind turbines is driving the market growth.
In the wind turbine, rotor blades are the most important component, as it determines the performance and cost of the wind power system. Each wind turbine has a life cycle of approximately 20 years and the break-even point of investment is around average period of 15 years
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:
- Rising electricity demand is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market.
- Low maintenance cost of wind energy system is expected to augment the wind turbine rotor blades market growth.
- High cost of transportation associated with wind turbine components can restraint the growth of the market.
- High initial investment as compared to alternate clean power sources, such as solar power can create challenges for the market growth.
- Ongoing technological developments in the design of wind turbine rotor blades and wind energy systems are expected to create remunerative opportunities for the industry players in the projected timeline.

Wind Turbine Rotor Blades Market Segment Insights:
Onshore segment to grow at a rapid pace
Based on location of deployment, the market is divided into onshore and offshore. The onshore segment is anticipated to account for a key market share and is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The cost of electricity production by onshore wind power plants is lower than the cost of generation by coal, gas and diesel power plants. In 2018, the total onshore wind power capacity reached 568.4 GW. The wind capacity is anticipated to surpass 600 GW by the year 2023. Rising number of supportive government subsidies and policies is further boosting the growth of the market segment.
Carbon fiber segment to account a major market share
Based on blade materials, the market is divided into carbon fiber, glass fiber, and others. The carbon fiber segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period. Carbon fiber has already proven as one of the high-quality materials for the development of wind turbines. It reduces the weight and increases the stiffness of the bars. The material also reduces the total weight of blade by 38% and decreases the cost by 14%, as compared to glass fiber.
Asia Pacific to account a considerable market share
On the basis of regions, the market is segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for a considerable market share during the forecast period. Increasing governmental support in form of numerous incentives, and favoring policies is driving the growth of the regional market growth. For instance, the Government of China has been actively promoting renewable infrastructure development to curb pollution and reduce the share of thermal power in the country’s power generation profile.
