Small Wind Power Market Research, 2030
The global small wind power market was valued at $7.4 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $17.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2021 to 2030.
A small wind system is the power system which is connected to the electric grid through power provider or it can stand alone (off-grid). The small wind electric system is a good choice for rural areas that are not already connected to the electric grid. A wind electric system is made up of a wind turbine mounted on a tower to provide better access to stronger winds. In addition to the turbine and tower, small wind electric systems also require balance-of-system components.
Small wind electric system is one of the most cost-effective home-based renewable energy systems with zero emissions and pollution. In addition, according to U.S. department of energy, small wind electric systems can lower the electricity bills by 50%–90% and help to avoid the high costs of having utility power lines extended to a remote location. Moreover, it also helps uninterruptible power supplies ride through extended utility outages. Furthermore, Small wind electric systems can also be used for a variety of other applications, including water pumping on farms and ranches.
A small wind electric system only works if the following condition are fulfilled:
- There should be enough wind in the surrounding
- Tall towers are allowed in neighborhood or rural area
- There should be enough space
The main characteristics of small wind power system are as follows:
- Small wind power can determine how much electricity is needed or want to produce
- It works economically
The government initiatives, such as incentives and energy-saving certificates by the governments in India, China, Malaysia, and Thailand, are also expected to encourage commercial units to adapt to power generation from small wind turbines during the forecast period.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL SMALL WIND POWER MARKET
- Wind power projects can be roughly divided into three phases: planning, construction, and operations/maintenance. Sites suitable for wind farms are generally in sparsely populated areas and rare in cities with large populations. Project developers therefore need to make frequent visits to the project site from the initial planning and development phase in order to explain the project in advance to the local government, landowners and other stakeholders, gain their assent, and move forward with various procedures, including environmental assessments, grid access and FiT program certification. However, when developers are unable to visit project sites due to restrictions on movement (travel) as is the case now, many procedures are delayed which led to highly negative impact on wind turbine market. However, it also turned negative impact to small wind power market.
- The manufacturing of Wind turbine was stopped for a specific period due to high peak of COVID-19 situation, which highly impacted the sales of Wind turbine.
- Wind power project is directly proportional to the demand for wind turbine used in projects. Wind turbine market have been negatively impacted amid the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and recorded a huge decline in Wind turbine. However, it also led to decrease in the small wind power market.
- COVID-19 impacted almost all industries by hindering various industrial operations and disrupting the supply chain. Maximum companies halted their operation due to fewer workforces. However, there is a sluggish decline in the global small wind power market due to impact of COVID-19.
- Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, in turn, adversely affected the industries using Wind turbine and thereby affecting the global small wind power market.
- According to the UNIDO, 30.0%–70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce of various industries and vendors migrated to their hometowns, due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This unavailability or less availability of workforce is expected to directly affect the production and manufacturing activities, thereby resulting in decline in demand for raw types used in Wind turbine. This is expected to decline the growth of the market during the forecast period.
