“There are growing concerns regarding environmental impacts of industrial activities and geo-political risks, which are prompting governments to utilise clean energy resources available within the country,” said Nirushan Rajasekaram, analyst at GlobalData, in the firm’s press release.
 
“The market opportunities are attracting a plethora of potential investors and stakeholders driving down equipment costs, promoting technology development, and thereby creating a conducive market for wind turbines.”

 

Rajasekaram continued, saying the increased efforts globally to move away from reliance on fossil fuels and dramatically cut emissions will drive this growth.

 

“The global commitment to curb emissions, need to circumvent geopolitical risks impacting fossil fuel supply, transition towards low carbon economies, and increasing demand for electricity will drive the wind turbines market,” he said.
