China's wind power sector has reached a historic milestone, propelling domestic manufacturers to the forefront of the global energy transition, according to a recently released report.

For the first time, Chinese turbine makers have swept the top six positions in the global market share rankings, as the nation became the world's first market to add more than 100 gigawatts (GW) of wind capacity in a single year, according to BloombergNEF (BNEF).

According to the Global Wind Turbine Market Shares 2025 report released by the industry consultancy on Tuesday, global wind capacity additions hit an all-time high of 169GW last year. This 38 percent year-on-year surge was largely underpinned by a booming onshore sector in China.

Thanks to stable long-term policy support, wind installations over the past decade have become increasingly concentrated in China, Cristian Dinca, wind associate at BloombergNEF and lead author of the report, said.

Chinese manufacturers consistently top the global rankings and they benefitted particularly in 2025, according to him.
