Wind energy O&M market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. The growth of the market is attributed to factors such as the increasing installation of wind power capacity, the need for efficient operations and maintenance practices to maximize energy generation, and others. For instance, according to the US Department of Energy, in 2021, the U.S. distributed wind sector added 11.7 MW of new distributed wind energy capacity with 1,751 new wind turbines installed across 15 states. This capacity represents $41 million in investment and brings the total installed capacity to 1,075 MW from more than 89,000 wind turbines across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Various government initiatives to promote renewable energy also propel the growth of the market. For instance, in August 2022, according to the International Energy Agency ( IEA), the federal government of the US introduced the Inflation Reduction Act, a law significantly expanding support for renewable energy in the next 10 years through tax credits and other measures. Additionally, during COP26, held in November 2021 in Glasgow, India announced new 2030 targets of 500 GW of total non-fossil capacity and a 50% renewable electricity generation share (more than double the 22% share in 2020), as well as net zero emissions by 2070.  

Segmental Outlook

The global wind energy O&M market is segmented based on its type and application. Based on type, the market is segmented into original equipment manufacturers, independent service providers, and in-house. Based on application, the market is categorized into offshore and onshore. Among the types, independent service providers are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period as they offer specialized expertise, cost-effective solutions, and flexible service contracts to wind farm operators. 

Original Equipment Manufacturers Sub-Segment Held Significant Growth of the Wind Energy O&M Market

The original equipment manufacturers sub-segment held significant growth in the wind energy o&m market. The growth is attributed owing to the number of big turbines in wind farms is increasing, which is expected to drive the global wind turbine operations and maintenance market. For instance, in September 2022, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the US expanded its floating offshore wind farms capacity to 15 gigawatts by 2035. This target is part of the White House's push to bolster the nation's offshore wind industry as part of its climate-change agenda.

Regional Outlooks

The global wind energy O&M market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). The market can be analyzed at a regional or country level as per the requirement. Among these regions, the Asia-Pacific region is projected to experience considerable growth in the wind energy O&M market owing to the increasing investments in wind power projects and the growing demand for clean energy. For instance, in March 2022, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, China became the No. 1 in the offshore wind sector by installing more than 16 GW of new offshore wind capacity in 2021, both in total installed capacity and in annual installed capacity.

Global Wind Energy O&M Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030

The North American Region is Anticipated to Hold a Significant Share of the Global Wind Energy O&M Market

The North American region is anticipated to account for a significant share of the wind energy O&M market during the forecast period. The growth of the market in the region is primarily driven by factors such as the presence of a large number of wind farms, favorable government policies, and the need for efficient maintenance practices to ensure the optimal performance of wind turbines. For instance, in April 2022, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Traverse Wind Energy Center in Oklahoma came online and became the largest wind farm built in one phase in North America, with a total capacity of 999 MW. The Traverse Wind Energy Center spans 356 turbines in north central Oklahoma and is part of the 1,484-MW North Central Energy facilities project, which aims to serve 440,000 homes.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global wind energy O&M market include Vestas Wind Systems, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, S.A., General Electric (GE) Group, Covanta, and others. These market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by providing a range of O&M services, including scheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, component replacements, and remote monitoring. Additionally, they are adopting various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new project launches to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in December 2021, Siemens Gamesa declared that the South Fork Wind energy project used the Paul Candies, a Gulf of Mexico-based inspection, and repair vessel, for maintenance turbine building maintenance, and operations.
