List of wind turbine manufacturers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The manufacturers of large wind turbines for electricity generation are structured very differently. For many years only medium-sized companies were active in this sector, but since the second half of the 1990s large corporations have also emerged or become active. The largest manufacturer on the world market is Vestas with a market share of 11.6% in 2014. A market shakeout has been taking place since the beginning of the 21st century . Smaller manufacturers and component suppliers were either bought up or pushed out of the market.
