WIND ENERGY
market

Sound fundamentals and fierce competition
National energy-mix policies, environmental concerns and
the need to supply electricity to isolated areas are boosting
wind energy. The market picked up in 2015 and continues to
consolidate and seek out ever more efficient solutions.

Table 1. Figure 1 uses the same data to
compare the "weight" of each country.

T

he year 2015 was a very good one
for wind energy, with a roughly
20% increase in installed capacity
(figures vary as a function of the source,
from 17.2% for the World Wind Energy
Association, or WWEA, to 21% for
Bloomberg New Energy Finance as of
February 2016).
Regionalism
According to WWEA, the world's
total installed wind turbine capacity by year's end 2015 was an estimated 434,856 MW. This constitutes a
63,690 MW surge in just a single year,
compared to the 2014 year-end capacity. China alone accounted for 51.8%
of that added capacity; the four other
countries that contributed the most
to the increase were the United States
with 13.1%, Germany with 7.7%,
Brazil with 4.3%, and India with 3.6%.
By the end of 2015, China, the United
States, Germany, India and Spain
were the best-equipped countries,
with electricity production capacities
that represented respectively 34.0%,
17.1%, 10.4%, 5.7% and 5.3% of the
global total (note that Spain acquired
no new installations during 2015), see

The largest suppliers
As the largest market - and a mostly captive one - China accounts for eight out of
the world's top 15 wind turbine suppliers.

According to FTI Intelligence, Chinese
company Goldwind is even becoming
the number-one global player, edging out
Danish company Vestas from that position. Other leading companies besides
the Chinese include Vestas, GE, Siemens,
Gamesa and Enercon (Figure 2).
