Key trends in this Data Insight include:
- The top five OEMs in 2012 all saw year-on-year growth and were able to capitalize on at least one of the following three factors: a strong presence in a booming US market, a high degree of geographic diversification, or a strong presence in offshore wind.
- The drop in Chinese installations meant that no Chinese vendors made it into the top five in 2012, although Chinese vendors secured over 30% of global installations. Asia secured 40% of all global installations, a sharp drop from nearly 53% in 2011.
- Excluding Asia, all other global regions experienced growth in turbine installations in 2012.
