Report Description Table of Contents The airborne wind turbine market in 2023 was worth USD 130.23 million and is expected to be worth USD 285.30 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period. The airborne wind turbine market is stimulated by the demand for higher energy efficiency and the opportunity to catch the winds at a greater height where the wind power density is higher than the sea level by 1.5-2.5 times. Airborne wind turbines are different from the traditional ones that are restricted in terms of tower height, whereas Makani’s airborne kite systems can fly at heights of 200-600 meters, thus enabling much greater energy generation. The latest innovation is the Buoyant Airborne Turbine developed by Altaeros for use in remote locations in Alaska, which holds the promise of affordable power generation where conventional means cannot be used. The airborne turbines are also less complicated to install, especially in offshore regions or any difficult terrains, making them cheaper than conventional turbines, which support the shift towards green energy. These advantages are some of the factors that make them a driving force toward global decarbonization and energy diversification. The airborne wind turbine market holds a higher potential in offshore and remote areas where the installation of traditional wind turbines imposes a problem. Airborne wind turbines can be deployed in regions where building tall towers is impractical, and they can harness higher-altitude winds with speeds up to 50% greater than ground-level winds, leading to more efficient energy generation. With the global renewable energy market growing rapidly, this innovative technology opens up vast potential for expanding wind energy capabilities. For example, in recent years, Kite Power Systems (KPS) has successfully tested airborne wind turbines capable of generating 100 kW of power, with plans to scale up to 500 kW systems. These systems are lightweight and more mobile, allowing for quicker deployment in offshore locations or rural electrification projects. Such advancements point to the growing opportunity for airborne wind turbines to meet energy demands in previously inaccessible or cost-prohibitive areas.

Germany and the Netherlands are among the leaders in the investments in airborne wind turbines, as they intend to decrease CO2 emissions and increase the share of renewable power sources in energy production. For example, Kite Power Systems (KPS), based in the UK, and Ampyx Power, a Dutch company, are leading in developing kite-based airborne wind systems. One of the latest occurrences in the region is the European Union's assurance to promote offshore and airborne wind energy funding and policy. The Dutch company Ampyx Power tested its tethered airborne wind energy system in 2021 and aims to increase the technology's scale for utility applications. Europe’s strong regulatory push and consistent investment in clean energy make it the airborne wind turbine sector leader.
