Turbine Demand to Increase 6.1% Annually thru 2014 The world market for turbines and


related products (turbine-based engines, generators and generator sets) is pro- jected to increase 6.1% per year through 2014 to $133 billion. Growth will be driven by the wind turbine sector, which consistently exceeded industry growth estimates over the 2004-2009 period. China doubled its installed wind


power generation capacity in 2009, with the U.S. also seeing stellar growth in new capacity. These and other trends are presented in World Turbines, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry market re- search firm. Through 2014, the large turbine


engine segment will also post strong gains, supported by increases in aircraft manufacturing as a result of surging de- mand from heavily populated developing countries such as China and India in both commercial and military applications. Because Boeing (based in the U.S.) and Airbus (based in France) account for the vast majority of global commercial air- craft manufacturing, their introduction of new aircraft models will support demand for turbine engines in the developed re- gions in which they are headquartered. Growth in demand for turbines and


related products in China will remain well above the global average through 2014, although it will decelerate consid- erably from the better than 30% yearly gains registered between 2004 and 2009.


January 2011 The Asia/Pacific region will expand


its share of world turbine demand from 29% in 2009 to 32% in 2014. The stron- gest percentage gains in regional demand will be seen in Central and South America and the Africa/Mideast region, although both regions combined will account for just seven percent of global turbine and related product demand in 2014. Turbine demand in the U.S. will


grow 5.5% annually through 2014, with more rapid gains hindered by the fact that 2009 was such a strong year for U.S. wind turbine sales. Of the total installed wind power generation capacity in the U.S. at the end of 2009, almost 30% was added in that year. Demand in Western Europe will grow 4.0% per year through 2014. The West European wind energy sector is the most mature in the world and will post relatively modest gains through 2014 in spite of a booming offshore sector and significant onshore wind turbine replace- ment demand in several countries. Wind power currently supplies about


20% of electricity demand in Denmark; 15% in Spain and Portugal; 11% in Ire- land; and 8% in Germany. These rates are unheard of in other regions of the world.
