Global wind power installation growth is expected to be 16.6% in 2013

Abstract from China Energy Network

    From January to August this year, the total import and export of wind power generation equipment in China was 292.0332 million US dollars, down 27.8% compared with the same period last year. Among them, the export of wind power equipment 282.169 million US dollars, down nearly 30% compared with the same period last year, and the import of wind power equipment 9.863 million US dollars, an increase of 6.8 times compared with the same period last year. It can be seen that the import and export trade of wind power generation equipment in China is clearly differentiated, showing a situation of ice and fire, specifically:

    First, by the policy support of our wind power equipment trade competitiveness continues to increase.

    Since 2004, China''s wind power equipment trade pattern has undergone great changes, gradually changed from import-based to export-oriented, trade competitiveness has also changed from weak to strong, which is closely related to China''s strong support for wind power equipment industry. In 2005, the National Development and Reform Commission required wind power investors to ensure that 70% of wind power equipment is localized, its purpose is to reduce the cost of wind power in China and promote the industrialization of wind power. In the following years, China''s wind power industry ushered in a golden period of rapid development, the average annual growth rate of new installed capacity exceeded 50%, and the cumulative installed capacity accounted for the proportion of global installed capacity rose from 1.6% to 26.7%, surpassing the United States and ranking first in the world. In 2010, in response to the requirements of Europe and the United States and out of the needs of the development of the industry, the country canceled the requirement of "localization rate of 70%", the import situation began to pick up, and the industry competition became more severe.

    Second, exports show a diversified trend, but the concentration of imports is still very high. 

    From January to August 2013, China''s wind power equipment has been exported to more than 70 countries and regions, showing a diversified development trend, of which South Africa ranked first, exports reached 76.585 million US dollars, accounting for 27.1% of China''s total wind power equipment exports, followed by the European Union, Peru, Australia. They accounted for 16.7%, 15% and 12.9% respectively.

    Contrary to the export situation, China''s wind power equipment imports have a high concentration, almost all imported from the EU countries, accounting for 98.3% of the total imports of wind power equipment in China, which is mainly determined by the wind power equipment market structure, from a global point of view, wind power equipment manufacturing industry is mainly concentrated in Europe, Denmark, Germany and Spain. Its production capacity accounts for more than 50% of the world, and its technology research and development and innovation capabilities occupy an absolute dominant position.

    Third.Foreign funded enterprises are the main force in the import and export of wind power generation equipment in China.

    From January to August 2013, the total import and export of wind power generation equipment by foreign-funded enterprises was 190.326 million US dollars, accounting for 65.2% of China''s total import and export of wind power generation equipment. Private and state-owned enterprises accounted for 24.3% and 10.6% respectively. From the perspective of exports, there is no significant difference in the share of foreign-funded enterprises, Sino foreign joint ventures, and private enterprises, accounting for 38.1%, 25.9%, and 25.1% of China''s total import and export of wind power equipment, respectively, showing a tripartite trend. However, from the perspective of imports, foreign-funded enterprises stand out, accounting for 98.6% of China''s total import and export of wind power equipment, while state-owned and private enterprises only account for 1.2% and 0.2%.

    Forth.General trade is the main way of import and export of wind power equipment in China.

    From January to August 2013, China imported and exported wind power equipment in the general trade mode of 173.542 million US dollars, accounting for 59.4% of the total import and export of wind power equipment, followed by the import and export processing trade mode, imports and exports of 99.071 million US dollars, accounting for 33.9% of the total import and export. Among them, the general trade mode of export accounted for 58% of the total export of wind power equipment, the material processing trade mode accounted for 35.1%, and the import aspect was almost imported by the general trade mode, accounting for 99.8%.
