China ousts western rivals from global top five wind suppliers

In China, wind turbine manufacturers installed 18,291 units in 2025.

Global wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) installed 28,395 new turbines worldwide in 2025, up 23% on the previous year, according to GWEC’s report.

“We now have five companies that have each installed more than 100 gigawatts (GW), which is enough electricity to power many of the world’s largest economies,” GWEC said.

According to the report, the global top five turbine suppliers by capacity installed were all Chinese for the first time.

Goldwind (29.7 GW) installed the highest volume, followed by Envision (21.8 GW), Windey (19.8 GW), Mingyang (18.6 GW) and SANY (15.1 GW).

The report also found that a total of 28,395 wind turbines were installed worldwide by 23 different wind turbine manufacturers, with 15 based in the Asia Pacific.

In China, wind turbine manufacturers installed 18,291 units in 2025, accounting for 67% of the global market share in 2025.  

Although nine out of the global top 15 wind turbine suppliers in 2025 come from China, 93.4% of Chinese OEMs’ global installations in 2025 are still in their home market.

Of the 9,319 megawatts Chinese suppliers installed outside of China in 2025, 57% was in Asia (excluding China), followed by the Middle East (16%), Africa (12%), South America (8%), Europe (5%) and the Pacific (2%).
