DATA 2022
Preface
Heading in this space
This is the fifth edition of the annual Global Wind Market Development - Supply Side Data published by Global Wind Energy Council, a member-based organisation that represents the
entire wind sector. This report is part of GWEC’s Market Intelligence service that provides a series of insights and data-based analysis on the development of the wind industry. The
services include a market outlook, country profiles and policy updates, and deep-dives on the offshore market among other insights.

GWEC Market Intelligence services are built on top of the existing GWEC reports and statistics as well as selected reports and databases from FTI Consulting’s Clean Energy
Intelligence unit, which were transferred to GWEC in March 2019 under a signed agreement to help form foundation for the new service. The Global Wind Market Development -
Supply Side Data report is based on FTI Consulting’s Global Wind Market Update – Supply Side Analysis to which FTI granted GWEC the Intellectual Property Rights. The Global Wind

The Global Wind Market Development - Supply Side Data 2022 represents a detailed account of wind turbines mechanically installed globally from all active suppliers over the past
(without taking into account whether the turbines are grid-connected and commissioned). The final report includes more than 30 tables and figures charting the evolution of global
wind power markets on the supply side is the sister report of GWEC’s Global Wind Report 2023 that covers the global wind market status (based on annual grid-connected capacity)

and outlook from the demand side. Combing the two reports provides a powerful tool for our members and subscribers to understand the global wind market development from both
demand and supply sides.
Acknowledgements
GWEC would like to thank those who provided the data and insights to support this publication. A special thank you to all of the wind turbine manufacturers who shared their detailed
installation statistics with us as well as to CWEA for their support in compiling data for the Chinese wind market. Without their valued support and trust, supply side insight would be
difficult to obtain, particularly with regard to data collection for provision of product segmentation, global market share by turbine technology and wind turbine manufacturer ranking
by technology.

Note: Timescales are influenced by a number of factors including: developer, contract type, country, topology, turbine, site complexity, etc.
Various wind industry analysts employ different reporting methodologies, which causes a lack of transparency and market confusion on what constitutes supply side reporting.
A typical project development cycle for land-based wind turbines, illustrated in Figure 1-1 fundamentally contains seven potential reporting stages. The reporting approach
varies between manufacturers and sometimes between jurisdictions. Robust benchmarking is highly dependent on application of the right quality processes to provide a fair
market ranking of manufacturers. No methodology is perfect, but our turbine installation focused approach is widely accepted across the industry and well reflects the flow of
turbine manufacturing from the supply side on the annual base.
