China now controls almost 80% of the global wind turbine market, according to recent industry data. The country’s manufacturers have expanded rapidly, producing more than three out of every four turbines installed worldwide. This dominance covers both onshore and offshore wind projects, with Chinese companies supplying key components such as blades, towers, and generators. Analysts attribute the surge to lower production costs, government subsidies, and large-scale domestic demand. While this concentration raises questions about supply chain dependence, it also underscores China’s central role in the global shift toward renewable energy.
