Research and Markets: Analyzing the Asian Wind Power Industry
Wednesday November 4, 04:15 AM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e18498/analyzing_the_asia)
has announced the addition of the "Analyzing
the Asian Wind Power Industry" report to their offering.
Global demand for energy is increasing at a breathtaking pace, and this
is particularly true in China, India and other rapidly developing
economies. However, as demand on finite petroleum reserves and the price
of the fuels derived from them continues to rise, renewable forms of
energy are becoming more cost-effective and profitable. In the forefront
of this renewable revolution is harnessing the sustainable power of wind.
Global wind energy capacity grew by 28.8% last year, even higher than
the average over the past decade, to reach total global installations of
more than 120.8 GW at the end of 2008. Over 27 GW of new wind power
generation capacity came online in 2008, 36% more than in 2007.
Asia - with the two leading wind countries China and India and 24'439 MW
of installed capacity - is in a position of becoming the worldwide
locomotive for the wind industry. The growth in Asia's markets has been
breathtaking; close to a third of all new capacity in 2008 was installed
on the Asian continent. In particular, the wind energy boom is
continuing in China, which once again doubled its installed capacity by
adding about 6,300 MW (6.3 GW), reaching a total of 12,200 MW (12.2 GW).
In fact, China added 6,300 mw of wind energy capacity in 2008, whereas
India boosted its capacity by 1800 mw making them the 2nd and 3rd
largest investors in this buoyant segment. The large additions to
capacities in 2008 pushed up China's ranking in the total wind sector
from the 5th to the 4th position with the capacity going up to 12,210
mw. India's ranking slipped a rung from the 5th to the fourth position
during the period with its total capacity being only 9,645 mw.
Chinese domestic wind turbine manufacturers have started for the first
time to export their products. It can be expected that in the
foreseeable future Chinese and Indian wind turbine manufacturers will be
among the international top suppliers.
In the present global recession scenario, the Asian wind market has thus
far felt a slighter and more delayed impact from the global recession
and banking crisis. A recent study concludes that the market will lead
the global industry within the next five years. In fact in its response
to the financial crisis, the Chinese government has identified the
development of wind energy as one of the key economic growth areas.
Aruvian's R'search's report, Analyzing
the Asian Wind Power Industry, is a complete analysis of the wind
energy industry in Asia. The report analyzes the present global and
regional market scenario, the prevalent wind resources in this
continent, governmental policies, future projections, detailed analysis
of the leading states/province and much more.
The report is a highly comprehensive research compilation of the booming
wind power industry in Asia. The report also provides a look at the
overall Asian energy industry and a brief profile of the global wind
power industry as well.
The report, Analyzing
the Asian Wind Power Industry, explores the importance of wind power
in today's world. The report looks at the basics of the wind energy
industry, economics, issues and barriers, and other such factors.
Countries analyzed in this report include, among others, India, China,
Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand (which are part of
Australasia), Afghanistan, etc.
