Global wind energy reached a record 150 GW of new capacity in 2025,driven by strong growth in Asia.

India led the surge with a national record of 6.3 GW installed,whilst Europe added 16.5 GW of new capacity—5 GW more than in 2024.

In the United States,over 7 GW of new capacity is expected,and China is on track to surpass 100 GW,having installed 89 GW by the end of November.

Overall,global wind installations are projected to exceed 150 GW in 2025.

By 2030,emerging markets like Vietnam,Australia,and the Philippines are projected to catch up with Europe’s mature wind markets.

These countries are increasingly viewing renewable energy as central to achieving GDP growth targets,with wind power positioned as a cornerstone of future economic development.

Global wind capacity is also expected to exceed 2 TW by 2030,with Asia-Pacific(excluding China)contributing 12%of new installations.

Rising energy demand in emerging economies,especially in the Asia-Pacific region,positions wind power as a key driver of economic development whilst keeping emissions in check.

Countries failing to embrace wind energy risk being left behind in the next era of industrial and economic growth,the report noted.
