    According to the Global Wind Energy Association's annual supply-side data report, 30 wind turbine manufacturers installed 104.
    7GW of new wind capacity
    in 2021.
    The financial performance of turbine manufacturers is deteriorating
    due to a highly competitive price environment, higher external costs and ongoing bottlenecks.

    In 2021, 29,234 wind turbines were installed by 30 wind turbine manufacturers worldwide, of which 18 were from the Asia-Pacific region and 9 from Europe
    .

    Vestas maintained its number one position in a record year, accounting for 17.
    7%
    of new installations.
    China Goldwind followed with 11.
    8% market share, ranking second since 2020, while Siemens Gamesa also reached a record high with a global market share of 9.
    7%, rising two places to third place
    in 2021.
    Another Chinese company with Vision ranked fourth, accounting for 8.
    65% of
    the market in 2021.
    GE Renewable Energy ranked fifth with a market share of 8.
    55
    %.

    In 2021, Vestas and Siemens Gamesa both reached record highs, with both companies leading the way in geographic diversification, delivering products
    to 37 and 32 countries, respectively.
    GE supplied 22 markets in 2021, while Goldwind and Envision entered only 7 and 3 markets
    , respectively.

    In terms of product type, doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) remained the mainstream solution in 2021 with a market share of 50%, followed by direct drive permanent magnet generators (DD PMG), squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG) and medium-speed permanent magnet generators
    .

    The average rated capacity of new turbines installed in 2021 exceeded the milestone of 3,500 kW, while rotors larger than 140m accounted for more than
    58% of new installations.
    This is mainly due to the wind industry's record new offshore wind capacity, while China has installed larger onshore wind turbines
    after the onshore wind market entered the grid parity era from 2021.

    Medium-speed wind turbines continue to gain popularity, with their global market share increasing to 9.
    7% in 2021 and 3.
    6%
    relative to 2020, the data showed.
    Mingyang and Vestas remain the main drivers
    of this turbine drivetrain solution.
    Goldwind, the world's largest direct drive wind turbine supplier, and Shifeng Technology, China's leading offshore wind turbine supplier, both installed commercial medium-speed wind turbines
    for the first time in 2021.
