Small Wind Power Market by Type (Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines), Installation type (Off Grid, On Grid), Application - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Small Wind Power Market size was estimated at USD 14.90 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 16.56 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 11.84% to reach USD 32.62 billion by 2030.

Small wind power involves the generation of electricity through wind energy systems that have a capacity of less than 100 kilowatts. These systems are typically utilized to power individual homes, farms, and small businesses and can be deployed as either standalone units, providing power in areas not connected to the electric grid, or interconnected with a larger utility grid to offset energy costs and reduce reliance on traditional energy sources. As governments and individuals worldwide strive to reduce their carbon footprint and combat climate change, small wind power systems emerge as a viable and sustainable option, especially in remote or off-grid locations where traditional power infrastructure may be impractical or too costly. Innovations in turbine design and efficiency have made small wind power systems more accessible and cost-effective for a broader range of applications. However, its high initial installation costs and efficiency dependency on local wind resources may challenge the market growth. Nevertheless, combining small wind systems with solar photovoltaic (PV) installations presents a significant opportunity to provide more reliable and consistent power supply solutions.
