Segment Analysis

By Fiber Type: Carbon Drives Premium-Performance Evolution

Glass fiber retained a dominant 71.66% share of the wind turbine composites market in 2024, underpinned by favorable cost and robust supply chains. Carbon, however, is growing at 7.11% CAGR as OEMs chase mass reductions that let longer rotors survive higher tip speeds without excess loads. LM Wind Power’s hybrid carbon/glass spar caps on its 88.4 m blade validated weight cuts without cost blowouts. 

Incremental uptake also stems from textile-based carbon fibers that are 40% cheaper than aerospace grades, unlocking mid-tier turbine segments. Natural-fiber blends offer sustainable niches, with palm or flax hybrids matching key mechanical metrics while lowering embodied energy. Over the forecast horizon, hybridization strategies will remain pivotal as the wind turbine composites market balances stiffness, fatigue life and affordability.

By Resin Type: Polyurethane Challenges Epoxy Dominance

Epoxy systems held 34.88% revenue share in 2024, thanks to well-characterized performance, yet polyester/vinyl-ester and polyurethane blends are tracking the fastest 7.45% CAGR. Proven 10-25% cycle-time savings and improved wet-out make polyurethane infusion the prime candidate for stretching annual output without large capex.

Demand for bio-based chemistries that curb life-cycle emissions by 30-40% will steer formulation research and development, broadening the wind turbine composites market size for greener resins, particularly in Europe, where carbon-footprint disclosures already feature in tenders. Baxxodur curing agents and additive packages that cut exotherm peaks further enhance epoxy competitiveness, ensuring multiple resin classes co-exist through 2030.

By Technology: Prepreg Advances Challenge Vacuum-Infusion Leadership

Vacuum infusion captured 45.88% of the wind turbine composites market share in 2024 due to its scalability for 100 m-class blades. Prepreg throughput, however, will climb 7.77% per year as tighter tolerances on thick spar caps and complex aerodynamic surfaces demand quasi-void-free laminates. Hexcel’s fast-cure HexPly M19 shrinks oven cycles by up to 20%, helping large-scale prepreg plants in Europe and China contend with cost pressures.

By Application: Blade Innovation Anchors Revenue Concentration

Blades represented 74.88% of the wind turbine composites market in 2024 and will continue at a 7.45% CAGR as swept-area expansion is the most powerful lever for higher energy yield. Vestas’ 43,000 m² swept area confirms the volume opportunity, with each 115 m blade containing more than 70 t of composite laminate. 

Specialized parts such as spinners, tower fairings, and internal platforms account for modest volumes but remain value-added due to complex tooling and tight dimensional tolerances. Continued research and development into stitched 3-D preforms that slash root assembly time to 10 minutes illuminates how the wind turbine composites market keeps refining cost and structural margins simultaneously.

Geography Analysis

Asia Pacific, at 46.44% of 2024 revenue, remains the anchor region for the wind turbine composites market and posts a leading 6.99% CAGR. China’s record 117 GW of 2024 additions, supported by local-content rules favoring China Jushi and CPIC, underpin an unrivaled supply-chain footprint that exports both raw fabrics and finished blades worldwide.

Europe follows with mature technology adoption and rigorous sustainability regulations. The United Kingdom’s ambition to reach up to 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030, Germany’s 80% clean-power target, and France’s circular-economy mandates push European makers toward recyclable thermoplastics and closed molding. 

North America couples federal tax credits with state procurement to expand onshore fleets in the Great Plains and repower coastal wind zones. The U.S. Department of Energy forecasts composite demand tripling by 2027, propelling investments from TPI Composites and GE Vernova that localize spar-cap and root-insert production.
