Overestimated

China represents three-quarters (75%) of the global market for new wind turbines.

Omissions

• Chinese manufacturers' share is closer to 70% rather than 75%
• The 75% figure may be confused with China's share in other clean energy sectors such as battery production (75%) or solar panel manufacturing (80%)
• The data represents market share by capacity additions/installations rather than revenue or unit sales
