In 2024, the company produced 6,525 blades and generated $1.3 billion in net sales, accounting for approximately 27% of global onshore wind blade capacity, excluding China. These blades are estimated to offset over 264 million metric tons of CO₂ over their 20-year lifespan.
Market Position and Industry Context
TPI Composites is recognized as the largest U.S.-based independent manufacturer of composite wind blades. Its market positioning allows it to operate among a limited number of suppliers capable of delivering high-volume, custom-specification blade programs. The global onshore wind market continues to develop as utilities and developers seek to increase renewable energy sources. Reliability and service capability are key competitive factors; TPI has delivered over 100,000 blades since its inception in 2001, which supports its position in an industry that also includes integrated OEM manufacturers and regional specialists.
