European Wind Turbine Production Rebounds
European wind turbine production reached its highest level in a decade in 2024, according to Eurostat data, reflecting renewed growth in the sector after several years of relatively stable output. The figures were published in Eurostat’s 2026 edition of Key Figures on European Business, which examines developments across industries including manufacturing, technology, investment and tourism.
Rising Production Statistics
Wind turbine production fell sharply from 22,200 units in 2014 to 8,300 units in 2015 before stabilising between 6,800 and 12,000 units annually over the following years. Output increased significantly in 2024, reaching 15,500 units and marking the highest level recorded since 2014.

Economic Impact And Strategic Imperatives
The value of wind turbine production reached €10.4 billion in 2024, highlighting the sector’s growing role within European manufacturing. Eurostat noted that production data for renewable energy technologies provide insight into industrial capacity, supply chains and Europe’s efforts to strengthen energy security. As the EU continues to expand renewable energy generation, domestic manufacturing remains an important factor in reducing dependence on external suppliers.
Driving A Resilient Future
The latest figures illustrate how the European wind turbine industry has recovered following a prolonged period of lower production levels. Growth in manufacturing capacity comes as EU policymakers continue to prioritise renewable energy investment and the expansion of clean energy infrastructure across the bloc.
