U.S. Wind Turbine Installation Market Overview
The U.S. wind turbine installation market size was USD 5.1 billion in 2024, which is expected to reach USD 8.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2025–2032).
The market is propelled by the rising demand for electricity for a growing population, which is increasingly moving to cities. Moreover, the rising emission concerns, which lead to ozone depletion, climate change, and respiratory diseases, are forcing the government to consider clean energy over generating it from fossil fuels. Therefore, since 2021, investments exceeding USD 10 billion have been provided to construct offshore wind farms. The allocated funds support both the construction of wind turbine component manufacturing facilities and the improvement of port infrastructure and training initiatives for wind turbine operation and maintenance staff.
Factory construction, along with infrastructure development, produces employment opportunities that actively boost the economic activity of coastal regions. Through this funding, the country can decrease its dependence on imports while developing its domestic production capabilities for wind turbine components.
U.S. Wind Turbine Installation Market Growth Factors
Advancements in Turbin Technology Are Foremost Trends
Wind power has become one of the least expensive ways to produce clean electricity across the U.S. because of technological advancements.
As per reports, the LCoE of onshore wind energy declined by almost 70% in the U.S. between 2010 and 2023.
Larger turbines equipped with intelligent operational systems are being developed to improve low-velocity-wind performance and overall electricity output.
Modern wind turbine systems boast increased wind energy extraction capability with blade extensions installed on elevated towers, which capture stronger and more consistent wind velocities at higher altitudes.
Moreover, advancements in the designs of the turbines and alternators improve the overall generation of electricity from the same wind farm area and wind speed.
The upgraded efficiency leads to reduced operational costs, which enables a decrease in the electricity prices for the end consumer.
Offshore wind energy development benefits from large turbine installations because they harness the stronger wind velocities in open oceans.
Advancements in offshore wind farms enable the use of fewer turbines to produce large amounts of electricity, which increases project viability and attracts investor interest.
Government Policies and Incentives for Clean Energy Drive Market
The wind energy sector has been receiving substantial federal tax incentives under the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and Investment Tax Credit (ITC) programs.
These incentives lower the development expenses for both developers and investors.
Wind farms receive PTC funding during their first 10 years of operation based on the kilowatt-hours of power they generate.
Through this incentive program, developers earn direct compensation based on their clean energy output.
The ITC provides tax credits that amount to a percentage of the initial cost developers spend on wind project construction.
The reduced financial requirements for new wind farms enable developers to find funding more easily, thus accelerating their construction efforts.
This lowers wind power costs, making it competitive with traditional power sources.
U.S. Wind Turbine Installation Market Segmentation Analysis
Location Insights
Onshore is the larger category with a market share of 65% in 2024 and the and faster-growing as well. This is because of the lower costs of onshore installations and the abundant land availability. The development of improved turbine technology leads to better operational efficiency.
Here are the categories of this segment:
Onshore (Larger and Faster-Growing Category)
Offshore
End User
Utilities are the largest category and the fastest-growing category, with a CAGR of 7.1%. Utilities have the financial capacity and government support to establish massive wind farms to deliver clean energy, reduce fossil fuel usage, and achieve renewable energy targets. Most wind farms in the country are owned and operated by utilities because only they have enough money to procure huge towers, large blades, and high-rating alternators. Supportive transmission and distribution infrastructure, including high-voltage transformers, switchgear, substations, and high-power cables add to the capital investments, which independent owners find hard to bear.
The following end users are analyzed in the report:
Utilities (Largest and Fastest-Growing Category)
Industrial and Commercial Users
Residential Users
Turbine Type Insights
The horizontal axis is the largest category in 2024, because these devices demonstrate superior efficiency and high-power generation capabilities in both terrestrial and marine facilities. These turbines are preferred for high-capacity projects because they deliver exceptional performance in high-wind conditions.
The fastest-growing category is direct-drive because its gearbox-free design creates more efficient and reliable performance. The market growth in this category stems from their ability to reduce maintenance expenses and their rising popularity for offshore applications.
Here are the turbine types studied in this report:
Horizontal-Axis
Vertical-Axis (Largest Category)
Direct Drive (Fastest-Growing Category)

U.S. Wind Turbine Installation Market Regional Outlook
The Midwest leads the market with a share of 40% in 2024 because the states of Iowa and Kansas benefit from excellent wind conditions and ample land to support big wind farms. This is because the Midwest is the least urbanized region in the country, possessing huge farms and vast tracts of unused land.
The South is the fastest-growing region, with a CAGR of 7.2%, led by Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. The favorable wind conditions, supportive government regulations, and rising clean energy requirements make this region an essential investment destination for wind power development.
Here are the categories of this segment:
Northeast
Midwest (Largest Category)
West
South (Fastest-Growing Category)
U.S. Wind Turbine Installation Market Competitive Landscape
The market demonstrates fragmentation because of the existence of multiple entities, including manufacturers, developers, and service providers, who hold small shares. The turbine manufacturing sector is controlled by major companies, including GE Vernova, Vestas, and Siemens Gamesa. However, the market for installation services encompasses numerous developers, alongside multiple contractors and suppliers.
States across the country maintain separate renewable energy mandates to fulfill regional needs. The market share splits because companies either concentrate on onshore wind projects or develop expertise in offshore wind installations.
