Growth Opportunities in the Wind Energy Market 2008-2013

Published: September 2008 Total 292 pages, 136 figures and 70 tables. Wind energy is a rapidly growing market segment of the composites industry. It is the fastest growing energy sector. On average, the global wind energy market has grown over 25% annually over the last ten years. Wind energy new capacity installations worldwide have surged from under 6918 MW in 2002 to 19371 MW at the end of 2007, representing on an average of 23% increase during that time period. The wind energy market is expected to grow at an average rate of 13.8% per year in terms of new capacity installation in next 5 years. A growing sensitivity for the environment and depleting reserves of fossil fuels are all fueling the growth of wind energy in the 21st century. The wind energy market provides great opportunities to product manufacturers (gear box, tower, blade, generator, etc.) as well as material suppliers of the composites industry to expand their businesses. As the global wind energy market continues to grow, it is important to know which regions have continued to show growth despite the supply chain issues and rising costs. In addition, it is important to know the market size for materials for the next five years. According to this report, market for composite materials is estimated to reach $3.5 billion by 2013. Wind turbines require the manufacture of large rotor blades, nacelles and other components using wet lay-up, VARTM, prepreg lay-up and other processes.            This unique 292-page report from Lucintel provides all the valuable information and tools that you may need in operating your business successfully in the wind energy market.
