Global wind power market - statistics & facts
In the past years, wind energy installations have been growing rapidly. In 2024, the total wind power capacity installed worldwide surpassed 1.1 terawatts, growing by more than 100 gigawatts in comparison to the previous year. China is the leading country in terms of cumulative wind installations and newly installed wind power capacity. In 2024, the Asian country added some 79.8 gigawatts of wind power, which translates to more than two-thirds of the global capacity added that year. Overall, China accounted for roughly half of cumulative wind power installations worldwide as of the end of 2024.
