Need to generate cleaner electricity helps global wind market grow
The business of generating electricity from wind is growing and is set to expand as the US, China, and the rest of the world look for cleaner, more sustainable ways to generate electricity. Volatility in fossil fuel costs, coupled with the environmental problems and incentives in different countries for developing wind energy, could be positive factors, driving increased acceptance of environmentally friendly technologies such as wind.
Companies which possess a strong product portfolio and global geographic reach—especially presence in growing markets such as China, the US, India, and Brazil—stand to gain market share in the future.
Report Scope
This reports examines and profiles nine of the world's leading wind turbine manufacturers. The report offers a full competitive analysis of target markets, product mapping, and production capabilities.
Lucintel's Leadership Quadrant considered a variety of critical factors—from management effectiveness to range of products, and from research and development investment to the quality of the firm's balance sheet assets—and then ranked each firm accordingly on a grid for quick comparison. In the current wind turbine competitive landscape, Vestas, the largest wind turbine producer in the world, clearly stood out as a leading performer. Vestas has the broadest market coverage in terms of both breadth of its product line, as well as its geographic presence in terms of market share, plant sites, and sales resources.
