Wind Turbine Rotor Blades

1. Wind Turbine Rotor Blades - Global Market Size, AveragePrice, Regulations and Competitive Analysis to 2015

2. Global Wind Rotor Blade Market - Annual Installations to Grow Reach 55GW by 2015 The global rotor blade installations have increased from 15,127 MW in 2006 to 38,361 MW in 2010, at a CAGR of 26%. In light of the global economic recovery and strengthening demand in Asia Pacific and North American market, GlobalData estimates the annual installations to reach at 55GW by 2015. The Asia Pacific region is emerging as a key driver for rotor blade demand, particularly supported by strong government policies. China has acquired the top spot in annual installations in 2010 largely supported by the increasing domestic demand from the wind turbine manufacturers in the country. In India, the government support for wind power will increase demand for rotor blades in the country. The North American rotor blade annual installations declined 47% in 2010 largely due to the financial crunch and decline in natural gas prices in the US. However, from 2011 the rotor blade installations are expected to rebound on the backdrop of increasing demand from the turbine manufacturers in the US. The rotor blade market in Germany and Denmark will find support from the untapped offshore potential while the Spanish market is expected to gain support from the supportive government policies particularly from 2013.

3. Global Wind Rotor Blade Market - Global Rotor Blade Market Value to Reach $16bn by 2015 The global rotor blade market has grown to $7,787 m in 2009 from $2,556m in 2006, at a CAGR of 33%.The key support for the market growth was the increasing installations and prices of the rotor blade during the period. GlobalData projects the global rotor blade market value to grow at a CAGR of 15% through 2015 from 2010. By 2015, the rotor blade market value is expected to reach $16,027m from $7,998m in 2010.

The North American market growth is expected to be robust during 2010 to 2015 largely driven by enhanced installations in the US and Canada. The European market for rotor blade will receive a push during forecast period largely on the repowering and offshore markets.

4. Wind Energy, the Fastest Growing Renewable Energy Source The wind energy market has witnessed enormous growth in the past; the world’s cumulative installed capacity reached 198,468 Megawatts (MW) in 2010, from 74,151 MW in 2006, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 28%. The exponential growth of the wind energy market is fueled by the depleting reserves of fossil fuels, declining cost of wind power generation and a growing sensitivity for the environment. From being an emerging fuel source twenty years ago, wind energy has transformed into a commercial generating technology in over 70 countries, with more effective and more reliable equipment and machinery. The global wind energy market is expanding at an accelerating pace, with wind energy installations growing by 24% in 2010 from 2009. The global wind energy annual installation has increased at a CAGR of 28% from 74,151 MW in 2001 to 198,468 MW in 2009, of which 38,454 MW came online only in 2010. Wind power will soon become an important player in the global energy market, with the growing equipment market creating a large number of jobs.

5. Global Wind Rotor Blade Market - Outsourcing of Rotor Blade Production is increasing The share of independent suppliers of rotor blade is increasing driven by the demand supply imbalance in the turbine market. The strong government support to the wind sector is driving the demand for rotor blade from turbine manufacturers. On the other hand the wind turbine manufacturers were constrained by the limited capacity to manufacture the turbine. As a consequence, the outsourcing of component manufacturing particularly of rotor blades has gained significantly. The share of in-house production of rotor blades has declined to 54% of the overall rotor blade production in 2009 from 62% in 2006. “Wind Turbine Rotor Blades - Global Market Size, Average Price, Regulations and Competitive Analysis to 2015” is the latest report from GlobalData, that offer comprehensive information on the global turbine rotor blades market and provides forecasts up to 2015.
