Ten Year Review of the International Wind Power Industry
1995-2004
Forecast for 2015 & Long Term Scenario to 2025
BTM Consult ApS - September 2005
The latest report from BTM Consult ApS is a review of progress in the international wind power industry over the past ten years. With comprehensive highlights from the previous decade. The report is a useful tool for an easy access to the industry. For people in the core of the International Wind Power industry, the report’s provides valuable input for strategic considerations regarding the short- and long term future for the industry. In addition, two special topics are covered - the requirement for large wind farms to integrate with today’s utility systems and a review of technological developments and trends in the design of modern wind turbines. A detailed break down on size-segmentation is carried
out.
Developments on the supply side
The overall supply of wind turbines to the markets has been shared among a group of some 25 companies, of which the ten leading ones are ranked as the “Top Tenö suppliers. Over the decade this Top Ten has typically accounted for 90-96 % of supply. The position and market share for all suppliers is listed year by year since 1995.
Consolidation in the industry
The report traces consolidation in the industry, with the most remarkable mergers/acquisitions described. A brief review of the period up to 1995 is included. The assessment concludes by grouping the major players into three categories based on the present situation and past track records. This is based on the position in 2004.
Long term development of wind power – two scenarios
This report includes two scenarios for wind power development, a different approach from that in BTM-C’s World Market Update. The forecast for 2015 is broken down by continent and by country and the figures are shown year by year. The long term scenario for 2025 is built on a set of assumptions about global progress on the issues of climate change and security of supply. The cumulative installed capacity will reach 1,000,000 MW (1,000 GW) by the end of the period, 20 times more than today’s level and the report estimate the distribution by continent of this huge development.
