Global wind energy supply chain - statistics & facts
Wind energy plays a crucial role in the decarbonization of the energy sector. In the coming years, the deployment of wind energy technologies is forecast to grow rapidly, with annual capacity additions ranging between 117 and 182 gigawatts. To meet this rising demand, many countries are increasing their wind equipment manufacturing capabilities. From 2020 to 2023, the global onshore wind turbine production capacity grew from 106 to 137 gigawatts, while that of offshore turbines increased from 25 to 44 gigawatts. Overall, in 2024, the world had the capacity to produce almost 40,000 wind turbine nacelles, 148,000 tower sections, and 30,000 sets of blades.
