GWEC releases Global Wind Turbine Supplier Ranking for 2020

These rankings will be published in the Global Wind Market Development ― Supply Side Data 2020, which will be released in late April 2021. Preliminary results are subject to change between now and the release date of the actual report. The report is part of GWEC’s Market Intelligence series that provide insights and data-based analysis on the development of the global wind industry. The final report includes more than 30 tables and figures charting the evolution of global wind power markets from the supply side perspective.

“Our preliminary findings from the supply side confirm that 2020 was an incredible year for the wind industry. Chinese and American turbine manufacturers had a record of new installations that saw most of them moving up in global turbine OEM market rankings,” said Feng Zhao, Head of Strategy and Market Intelligence at GWEC. “This makes sense as it reflects the situation that the world’s two largest markets China and United States had the lion’s share in global wind installation in 2020.”

The full report is exclusively available for GWEC members and market intelligence subscribers in the Market Intelligence Members Area on the GWEC website.

Note to Editors:

• GWEC’s supply side data records total capacity of wind turbines that have been delivered and installed based on what is recorded and reported to GWEC by wind turbine manufacturers. This differs from demand side data, which is the data used in GWEC’s Global Wind Report.
• Demand side data refers to the total capacity that has been installed and grid connected* and is based on data supplied by GWEC’s partner national and regional wind associations. GWEC Market Intelligence’s Global Wind Report shows 2020 is a record year in new installations. This report will be released on 25th March 2021 and will be available for free download on GWEC’s website.

*In China, GWEC uses data for new installations supplied by the Chinese Wind Energy Association (CWEA).
