• In the subsequent years, the anemometer market is projected to experience robust growth. It is anticipated to reach a value of $51.12 billion by 2029, progressing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
The growth during the forecast period is likely due to the escalation in oil and gas prospecting activities, the increasing occurrence of severe weather conditions, the rise in construction activities, the growing acceptance of wind energy, and the heightened consciousness concerning the environment. The forecast period is also expected to witness major trends like advanced sensor innovations, smart anemometer technology, digital anemometer deployment, strategic partnerships, and cutting-edge wind measurement methodologies.
What Key Factors and Trends Are Driving The Growth Anemometer Market?
The growing popularity of wind energy is anticipated to drive the expansion of the anemometer market. The increased uptake of wind energy is spurred by governmental policies, cost saving measures, technological progress, and the worldwide push towards carbon neutrality. The sustainable, cost-effective nature of wind energy, coupled with technological advancements and global initiatives to cut carbon emissions, contributes to its growing acceptance. An anemometers, which measures wind speed and direction, plays a pivotal role in wind energy, assisting in identifying prospective wind farm sites, enhancing turbine efficiency, and monitoring wind conditions in real time for power generation. For instance, the Global Wind Energy Council, a Portuguese-based international association for the wind power sector, reported in April 2024 that a record-breaking 117 GW of new wind power capacity was installed globally in 2023, a 50% rise from the prior year. The historical highest number of new onshore wind installations, exceeding 100 GW, and the second-largest offshore wind capacity, at 11 GW, was reported in that year. The global wind industry also crossed the significant milestone of 1 TW of installed capacity, with forecasts predicting the achievement of 2 TW by 2030. Thus, the growing adoption of wind energy fuels the expansion of the anemometer market.
