Emerging markets
While many countries are already embracing wind power , there are plenty of emerging markets that are just scratching the surface of what ’ s possible . One of the GWEC ’ s targets for 2017 is to continue to support the new markets in China , India , South Africa , Brazil and Mexico .
Sawyer explains that much of the growth for wind energy over the coming year will be in Asia , Africa and
Latin America : “ In volume terms , the greatest growth will be in Asia , led by China and India but also in a number of other growing markets in the region including the Philippines , Vietnam , Mongolia , Thailand , Indonesia , Pakistan and soon , we hope , in Iran .
“ In percentage terms , Africa will see the largest growth but Latin America will also see large volume of growth as other countries in the region add to the strong markets in Brazil and Mexico .”
