Global Wind Turbine Inspection Drones Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Wind Turbine Inspection Drones Market size was over USD 37.61 billion in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 103.52 billion by the end of 2037, growing at over 8.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of wind turbine inspection drones is assessed at USD 40.05 billion.
The major element influencing the growth of the sector is the growing demand for renewable energy. According to the International Energy Agency in 2023, wind electricity generation increased by 10%, reaching 2330 TWh. Therefore, the need for the inspection of wind turbines is growing. It is anticipated that with the regular inspection of wind turbines, the defects would be detected earlier, hence further allowing timely repair of the components without affecting the energy production capacity.
Also, there is increased focus on sequestering carbon with various means. One of the effective measures to sequester carbon is installing wind farms. The American Clean Power Association found that 1 MWh of wind energy avoids almost 75 tons of carbon dioxide emissions on average. Subsequently, there is a surge in demand for wind turbine inspection drones, bolstering the market growth.
