Increase in Installation Rate of Wind Turbine Capacity Drives Europe Wind Turbine Composites Market

Wind power is considered a clean and renewable energy source that provides electricity without burning fuel or polluting the air. Wind energy helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Hence, there is an increasing interest in wind energy among various countries, which has resulted in rapid growth in their installed wind capacity. In 2020, new installations in the onshore wind farms reached 86.9 GW, while the offshore wind farms reached 6.1 GW, making 2020 the highest and the second-highest year in history for new wind installations for onshore and offshore, respectively. Europe witnessed record onshore wind installations in 2022, which helped boost the region’s share in new wind power capacity addition from 19% in 2021 to 25% in 2022. In Europe, in 2022, new wind installations amounted to 19.1 GW (16.7 GW onshore and 2.5 GW offshore). Furthermore, 87% of the new wind installations in Europe in 2022 were onshore wind. Germany, Sweden, and Finland were significant contributors to the construction of onshore wind farms. Approximately half the offshore installations were in the UK. Also, France installed its first large offshore wind farm. Wind turbine composites are the materials that are utilized in the production of equipment such as blades and nacelles. These materials include fiber and matrix, which provide resilience and high tensile strength. Glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GRP) have been the most commonly used composite material in the wind turbine industry. The growing demand for wind turbine composites can be attributed to the installation of new wind turbines in offshore and onshore projects due to increasing governmental focus on renewable energy forms. The increasing capacity of wind farms and a surge in the number of wind farm projects across the globe are boosting the need for wind turbines, fueling the demand for wind turbine composites.

Europe Wind Turbine Composites Market Overview

The Europe wind turbine composites market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe (Sweden, Finland, etc.). Various countries in the region are harnessing technological capabilities to achieve their sustainability goals. As seen in the following figure, in 2022, new wind installations in Europe totaled 19.1 GW (16.7 GW onshore and 2.5 GW offshore), recording an increase of 4% compared with 2021. Germany, Sweden, and Finland built the most onshore wind projects in 2022. The UK accounted for almost half the offshore installations. Further, Sweden is making significant investments in the wind energy sector. According to news released in December 2022, the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) and Kцlvallen Vind AB signed a EUR 50.15 million (US$ 54.82 million) loan agreement to construct a 277 MW wind farm in Sweden. According to WindEurope, Europe invested EUR 41 billion (US$ 45.07 billion) in new wind farms in 2021, which included the financing of 25 GW of new capacity. Moreover, the region invested EUR 17 billion (US$ 18.69 billion) in new wind farms in 2022, down from US$ 48.47 million in 2021 and the lowest investment figure since 2009. The European wind industry suffers from higher input costs and supply chain disruptions. Moreover, the Russia–Ukraine war amplified challenges associated with raw material cost volatility and international shipping. As a result, the cost of producing a wind turbine in Europe has increased by up to 40% in the last two years. Thus, investments in the wind energy sector dropped in 2022 across Europe, which hampered the wind turbine composites market in the region.
