Small Wind Power Market Research Report- Forecast to 2023

1 Summary Small wind turbines are used to power remote or off-grid applications such as homes, farms, refuges or beacons. On the basis of region, Europe accounted for the largest market share of 41.32% in 2016, with a market value of USD 1,440.2 million and is projected to grow at CAGR of 13.98% during the forecast period. The small wind power boom is part of a wider move from fossil fuels to renewable energy, across the European Union. European governments and the EU, as a whole, have supported small wind projects with favorable incentives as part of their carbon emission reduction goals. The recorded small wind capacity, installed in Europe has reached over 272.6 MW by the end of 2015. The United Kingdom heads the market, with 15% of global installed capacity in 2015.

Key Players: The key players of global small wind power market are Kingspan Group Plc. (Ireland), Northern Power Systems Corp. (U.S.), Bergey Wind Power Co. Inc. (U.S.), Ennera Energy and Mobility, S.L. (Spain), Eocycle Technologies Inc. (Canada), Shanghai Ghrepower Green Energy Co., Ltd (China), Guangzhou HY Energy Technology Co., Ltd (China), XZERES Wind Corporation (U.S.), Endurance Wind Power Inc. (Canada), Aeolos Wind Energy Ltd (U.K.), and City Windmills Holdings PLC (U.K.).

2 Market Overview Small wind turbines are used to power remote or off-grid applications such as homes, farms, refuges or beacons. Intermediate-sized wind power systems can power a village or a cluster of small enterprises and can be grid-connected or off-grid. Small wind turbines can be developed to meet the specifications suitable for the domestic and international (developed and developing) markets. These turbines can be coupled with diesel generators, batteries and other distributed energy sources for remote use where there is no access to the grid. One of the primary drivers for the growth of small wind power market, is the important part played by the government initiatives and policies. In many countries such as Japan and EU countries, policies such as feed-in tariffs, net metering, tax credits, and capital subsidies are the major energy policies geared, specifically, towards small wind. The small wind power sector has benefited particularly from the growing global trend of feed-in tariffs (FITs). Moreover, adoption of small winds in several commercial applications & rural households also fuel the growth of the market. However, high initial cost and fluctuating prices of raw materials may hamper the growth of the market.

3 Market Research Analysis Based on axis, horizontal axis accounted for the largest market share of 65.07% in 2016, with a market value of USD 2,267.9 million and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.03% during the forecast period.

Vertical axis was the second-largest market in 2016, valued at USD 1,217.5 million. Vertical axis turbines are powered by wind coming from all 360 degrees, and even some turbines are powered when the wind blows from top to bottom. Thus, Vertical axis wind turbines are ideal for installations where wind conditions are not consistent, or due to public ordinances the turbine cannot be placed high enough to benefit from steady wind. Vertical wind turbines were applied for urban and low noise area. .
