Concerning the top ten turbine manufacturers world wide, Table 5 shows that
the Danish company, Vestas, was the biggest wind turbine producer in 2000
with roughly 18 per cent of the total. The Spanish company, Gamesa, is number
two closely followed by other German and Danish producers. Each nation’s
share of the market in 2000 amounts to 51 per cent for Denmark, 18 per cent for
Spain, 16 per cent for Germany and 15 per cent for the rest. Thus, the market is
clearly dominated by EU wind turbine producers who have more than 85 per
cent of the market share, as many producers in the ”Others” group are also lo-
cated in the EU.
