This sector is moving very quickly, the show’s organisers report. A forecast by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), for example, expects worldwide installed wind power capacity to increase by about 64% by 2021. The market with the strongest growth right now is Denmark (40%), followed by Uruguay, Portugal and Ireland with well over 20% each. Growth in Germany is at 16%. These figures make wind energy one of the major growth industries for the use of carbon and glass fibre composites.

With a focus day – Wind meets Composites on the first day of the show, various special exhibition areas and several programme highlights, companies representing the wind power industry will have their own dedicated platform at the trade fair.
