Key Findings

• Wind energy market is growing at the fastest rate among the other renewable energies.
• Although wind energy is growing at the fastest rate among renewable energies, still it is not self sufficient for future growth. It largely depends on the government policies. UK & US wind energy markets are the best examples of this.
• China will be the biggest potential market for wind energy in future.
• Australia, India & China has the competitive advantage over other countries, as these are hubs for manufacturing wind equipments. Australia, due to its quality products and China & India due to their cost advantages, are on a higher rank.
• Trends in Germany (biggest wind market in world) are shifting from smaller wind turbines to larger ones.
