    In 2018, developers commissioned more than 45 GW of onshore wind turbines worldwide, compared to 47 GW
    in the same period last year.
    More than half of the deployments, or 57 percent, account for more than half of the deployments, the world's four largest wind turbine manufacturers: Denmark's Vestas, China's Goldwind, US's GE Renewable Energy and Spain's Siemens Gamesa
    .

    The latest data from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) shows that Vestas' lead in the industry continues, with 10.
    1GW of onshore turbines coming into service in 2018, accounting for 22% of the global market share, compared to 16%
    in 2017.

    China's Goldwind moved from third to second place, helped by China's strong performance
    .
    The Chinese market deployed 19.
    3 GW of wind turbines throughout the year, and Goldwind accounted for nearly one-third, about 6.
    7 GW
    .
    However, the company's global presence remains limited, with only 5% operating outside China
    .
    GE ranked third with 5 GW, and 6 out of every 10 GE turbines in the U.
    S.
    are in service
    in the U.
    S.

    "In offshore wind, this is a record year for China and we will see more growth," Harries continued, "Of the 4.
    3 GW of offshore wind produced globally, 1.
    7 GW is located in China
    .
    In Europe, this is a fierce competition
    between Siemens Gamesa and Mitsubishi Vestas Offshore Wind.
    GE has some projects in France and we expect to see orders
    for their new 12MW platform as well.

    Overall, total onshore wind installations in 2018 were 11.
    7 GW in the Americas, 8.
    5 GW in Europe, 1 GW in Africa and the Middle East, and 24.
    2 GW
    in Asia.

    David Hostert, head of wind research at BNEF, said: "In terms of global onshore wind installations, last year was a bit of a mess, with only 45.
    4 GW coming online
    .
    In addition, 4.
    3 GW of offshore wind was added, slightly lower than in 2017
    .
    Now is the time for manufacturers to skyrocket over the next two years: we forecast demand for onshore capacity of around 60 GW
    in 2019 and 2020.
