Group). Once again, Asia,
Europe and North America
are in the lead (Figure 3).
This is not surprising, given
that many state governments
make local production a
condition for wind energy
development aid, insofar as
is possible. Raw material and
blade manufacturers need to
produce as locally as possible
in order to be able to sell.
The market has recovered
from the harsh decisions
made in earlier years by
the Chinese and American
governments to stop a lot of
the financing. Things are still
uncertain, particularly in the
United States. However, even
taking the more conservative
hypothesis, i.e. no change in
the composites/MW ratio,
the volume of composites
should reach 974 kt (metric
tonnes) in 2018. Europe
is the region where the
production of composites for
wind energy applications is
heaviest, accounting for 11%
of total volume produced in
the region (Figure 4).
Gigantic proportions

largest wind turbines. Back
in 1995, the diameter of
wind turbines was 15 metres.
Vestas is now marketing an
8MW turbine with a diameter of 164 metres (Figures 5
& 6).
This segment's most buoyant
market for the moment is
Europe, where the target is
to install 40 GW offshore by
2020. The project may seem
ambitious, but the wind turbines are so huge that their
