WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2017 - The global wind turbine casting market is expected to reach some $3.27 billion by 2025, up from $1.61 billion in 2015, according to a new report by Grand View Research Inc.
Increasing populations and urbanization will spur demand for electricity in developing countries – such as China, India, South Africa and Brazil – which will drive the increasing use of wind turbines, the report finds.
Along with a growing requirement for reducing emissions and the global carbon footprint, an increase in government spending on energy research and the development of clean energy is also expected to aid in market expansion.
