Steel Wind Tower Market Overview
The steel wind tower market is projected to grow from USD 29,041.2 Million in 2024 to USD 51,737.7 Million by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). steel wind tower market Size was valued at USD 27,345.8 Million in 2023.
A wind turbine changes the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. It operates on a system that includes several critical components that allow kinetic wind energy to be transformed into electric energy. Wind turbines give out clean and renewable energy to homes and offices and help save on costs. A wind tower is an essential component of a wind turbine. Wind towers have two variants: steel wind towers and concrete wind towers. A steel wind tower is the most general type, as it is easy to maintain and repair.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
In the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns were imposed across the globe to limit the spread of the disease. This led to restrictions on the movement of goods and individuals, which affected the supply chain of onshore wind energy market projects. However, enormous countries announced a significant investment in wind energy projects in the second quarter of 2020. Investors in wind energy announced plans to initiate 28 new offshore wind farms worth US$ 35 Bn in 2020, four times more than that in the first half of 2019.
Steel Wind Tower Market Growth Drivers
The steel wind tower market is primarily driven by a rise in investments in wind energy and favorable government initiatives and policies. Policy interventions by countries, like Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are creating a high demand for renewable energy across the globe. Implementation of Stringent regulations to help conserve the environment is prompting the power industry to shift toward clean and eco-friendly energy resources. Moreover, an increase in power consumption in several developing countries is driving the steel wind tower market. Distinct governments across the globe are looking for an alternative source of energy to reduce their dependency on conventional energy sources. Wind energy is one of the most efficient alternatives for conventional fossil fuel-based energy. Therefore, high growth in the wind energy industry is expected during the forecast period, thus driving the growth of the global wind tower market.
Restraints
The cost of electricity generated by wind energy is expected to decline shortly due to technological developments. This is expected to generate substantial growth opportunities for the steel wind tower market. However, fluctuation in prices of Steel and a rise in the availability of alternatives, such as concrete wind towers, are estimated to hamper the steel wind tower market shortly.
Steel Wind Tower Market Technology Analysis
Different wind towers are used for the efficient generation of wind energy. Tubular Steel, concrete, lattice, and hybrid towers are used for giant wind turbines. At the same time, guyed pole towers are used for tiny wind turbines. A wind tower is one of the essential parts of a wind turbine that would cost 25% to 30% of the total wind turbine cost. Wind towers are manufactured for onshore wind turbines and offshore wind turbines. The giant turbines are heavier, require oversized rotors, and are taller. For such turbines, the concrete wind tower proves to be more cost-effective than that tubular wind towers due to their high strength. In March 2018, the United States government announced that it would impose a 25% duty on Steel except on imports from Canada and Mexico. Due to the rising cost of tubular steel towers, operators prefer concrete towers, whose prices are expected to remain relatively stable.
Steel Wind Tower Market Segmentation
The steel wind tower market has been divided all across the globe based on the type, height range, application, and region. The up to 80 meters segment accounted for the leading share of the international steel wind tower market in 2020. It is said to remain highly attractive until 2031. Around 40 to 80 meters of height range is apt for wind towers. Furthermore, wind towers of this height are cost-efficient and relatively easy to handle. They also do not involve extra infrastructure. The onshore segment dominated the steel wind tower stocks in 2020. The rise of this segment can be ascribed to the ongoing investment in wind energy projects in onshore locations.
Based on the Type
The market has been divided all across the globe based on the type of hybrid towers, concrete towers, steel towers, and others.
Based on the Height Range
The market has been divided all across the globe based on the height range into above 140 meters, 80-140 meters, 40-80 meters, and up to 40 meters.
Based on the Application
The market has been divided all across the globe based on the application of onshore wind power and offshore wind power.
Based on the Region
The market has been segmented all across the globe based on region into the North American region, European region, Asia-Pacific region, Latin American region, and the Middle East and African region.
Steel Wind Tower Market Regional Analysis
The steel wind tower market has been divided all across the globe based in the region into North American region, European region, Asia-Pacific region, Latin American region, and the Middle East and African region. Being the globally emerging market, the largest market share in the global market is held by the Asia-Pacific region, owing to the presence of various major key players in this region. Moreover, highly populated countries like China, India, and Japan generate more demand in this region.
The European region holds the second-largest market share worldwide due to the presence of a well-established technologically driven infrastructure that generates more market demand in this region. Moreover, countries like France, Germany, and the UK are other factors that give rise to market demand.
The North American region holds the third-largest market share in the global market due to the presence of countries like Canada, the US, and Mexico, which generates market demand in this region.
The Middle East and African region, along with the Latin American region, show the rock bottom market share due to low infrastructure development in both these regions. Adding to the line, the other factor that restrains the market growth in these regions is low per capita income.
