Wind generation has been growing at a healthy average globally over the last few years, triggered by the fact that more and more countries are realizing the value of wind energy as a low cost, clean source for electricity. This has helped create major new business opportunities for manufacturing and materials innovation in this sector. Driving the wind industry forward is political action in response to climate change.

For the last ten years global wind turbine sales have grown approximately by nearly 30% annually and wind power is now the world's fastest growing source of energy. For the next twenty years it is expected to expand at double-digit rates.

The global wind turbine market is dominated by a small number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), but market competition is increasing as new OEMs enter the industry. Manufacturers are developing the next generation of wind turbines in the US and Europe. Government support of markets in Europe, India, China and other emerging markets has been largely responsible for burgeoning sales, providing manufacturers with cash flow to conduct private development efforts. European manufacturers currently supply most of the world market for utility-scale wind turbines and therefore provide the majority of the private investment in research and development.

The report begins with an introduction to wind power and looks at wind power technology, electricity generation from wind and accommodating the variable nature of wind power.

We analyze the wind turbine industry through the importance of wind power, evolution of wind turbine industry, market overview, global wind power industry statistics, and an analysis of the global offshore wind power industry through a regional breakdown.
