Abstract
This paper presents the global status of wind energy in order to establish a context for understanding the contemporary wind energy industry. It is discussed wind resources worldwide with the global wind distribution and mains concerns and how wind resources worldwide are spread globally. The world wind energy market outlook is shown; especially emphasis is given on global wind energy market by production side, wind energy converters manufacturers and economic impacts from wind energy industry on economy which it is devoted special attention to the job creation by wind energy industry.
Highlights
The development of wind energy in many regions of the world faces the lack of reliable and detailed wind resource data in that site

Summary
The development of wind energy in many regions of the world faces the lack of reliable and detailed wind resource data in that site. Using an extensive set of surface and balloon measurements, they concluded that 13% of the sites tested had a good wind resource (Class (Note 1) 3) at 80 meters off the ground, and using one in five of these sites for power generation would allow wind energy to meet the world’s electricity demand (considering the data of year 2000) seven times over (Archer & Jacobson, 2005). The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) and Greenpeace with their action for evaluation of global wind resources called “Wind Force 12” has concluded that the worlds electricity production by wind energy technology considering only 10% of the Earth's land area would be available for development, which figures the double of projected world electricity demand in 2020. As in a traditional industry sitting, the production and distribution of its process depending on the place where the vital resources can be found, in the case of the wind energy industry, the wind resources
