Wind Turbine Operations and Maintenance Market by Type (Scheduled Maintenance, Unscheduled Maintenance), Location type (Onshore, Offshore), Turbine Connectivity (Grid-connected, Standalone), and Region - Global Forecast & Trends to 2030

The global wind turbine operations and maintenance (O&M) market is projected to reach USD 59.67 billion by 2030, up from USD 35.62 billion in 2024, registering a CAGR of 8.5% over the forecast period. The expansion of offshore wind farms and the introduction of predictive maintenance technologies are fueling the market. The implementation of environmental targets and policy mandates across regions is further compelling the market to consider longer-term asset management solutions. Key global and regional players have created a strong footprint in the wind turbine operation and maintenance market by developing diverse service portfolios derived from extensive O&M experience.

“The offshore segment is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period”

The offshore wind turbine operations and maintenance market is experiencing growth due to the global demand for sustainable energy and the substantial potential of offshore wind farms. Offshore wind farms benefit from more consistent wind speeds, but they are also much more complex to operate, demonstrating the need for more advanced O&M services. Recent advancements in the realm of monitoring and diagnosing tools, including remote and predictive maintenance technologies, are improving efficiencies and reducing operational costs. Additionally, as both government and private investment increase in offshore wind projects, the growth prospects of offshore O&M are growing.

“The unscheduled segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024”

The unscheduled segment of the wind turbine operations and maintenance market is influenced by the urgent need to respond to unexpected failures of components. The demand for unscheduled maintenance is affected by the age and state of the installed turbine base, as older assets will fail at a higher frequency. These unexpected breakdowns can lead to prolonged turbine downtime, lost energy output, and increased O&M expenses, particularly for offshore wind projects where access and repair costs are significantly higher. However, digitalization is transforming the unscheduled segment by enabling real-time condition monitoring, predictive diagnostics, and automated fault alerts using SCADA data, IoT sensors, and AI.

“Asia Pacific to account for the largest share of wind turbine operations and maintenance market during the forecast period”

The Asia Pacific region is the largest wind turbine operations and maintenance (O&M) market because of supportive governmental policies on renewable energy and strong investments in both offshore and onshore wind projects. Major markets, including China, India, and Japan, are already contributing to growth with high renewable energy targets. Globally recognized targets include China’s plan to install 1200 GW of wind and solar capacity by 2030, and India's participation in Renewable Energy Certificate programs. The growth in the Asia Pacific region is expected to be further strengthened by technological innovations such as AI-enabled predictive maintenance and remote monitoring systems that enhance the efficiency of turbines and reduce downtime.
