Key View

  • Development in the global wind power sector has accelerated in the past decade, with technology and efficiency advancements supporting  strong wind power market growth. We believe these technology improvements will drive the further development of wind sectors in South Korea and Japan.

  • We caveat that offshore wind also has its fair share of challenges, mainly in the area of policy support and grid connections, hindering greater growth of the sector.
