'''Reasons for decrease in market share:'''
+
===Share by Geography===
* Emerging competitors in the wind energy space.
+
*'''India'''
* Stiff competition for Vestas in China – Sinovel (21,9%), Goldwind (17,7%), and Dongfang (16,4%) - which are all of Chinese origin. China‘s main three suppliers hold about 60% stake in the home market.
+
Suzlon is the dominant provider in India, with a 50% market share in 2009. Enercon and Vestas have aggressively
* GE is providing a stiff competition in the american market.
+
targeted the Indian market over the past 3 years, in part driven by the slowdown in developed markets. Suzlon has maintained
* The German market, being one of the core countries in Vestas strategy, is showing signs of saturation.
+
its share. In India, many of Suzlon’s customers are small in size, and Suzlon provides the land as well as the infrastructure. This
 
+
land bank of premium sites is an important barrier to entry.

===Track record by Turbine Type===
+
*'''China'''
 
+
Chinese providers (Sinovel, Goldwind and DongFang Electric) are expected to continue to dominate the Chinese market. Suzlon
 
+
has launched a price competitive product to compete with local players. A small market share would have a material impact on
{|border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="80%" align="center"
+
Suzlon due to the large size of the addressable market. Suzlon said in August 2010 that it hopes to generate up to 1/3 of its
|align = "center" bgcolor = "#538ED5" rowspan = "2"|'''Turbine Type'''
+
revenues from China, although it subsequently appears to have reduced this emphasis. The presence of Chinese companies
|align = "center" bgcolor = "#538ED5" colspan = "2"|'''Installed in 2010'''

outside China is minimal, held back by the perception that they produce low price, but low quality turbines.

===Competitive Advantage===
 
===Competitive Advantage===
 
+
Integration is a key advantage for Suzlon, setting it apart from most of its competitors. This helps to maintain quality standards
[[Image:Vestas7.jpg|center|700*400 px]]
+
and compatibility and is particularly important for gearboxes. Suzlon remains the dominant shareholder in Hansen and the two
<br>
+
companies have long term supply agreements in place. Hansen is also developing a customised gearbox for RePower. If Suzlon

sells its stake in Hansen, some of this advantage may be eroded.<br>

|Massive, new natural-gas discoveries in the U.S. slashed the price of the fuel that wind competes most directly against.

More than a year ago, '''Suzlon Energy Ltd.''', an Indian company that is one of the world<nowiki>’</nowiki>s biggest wind-turbine makers, began laying off workers at its plant in Pipestone, Minn., which makes blades for turbines; the plant now is operating at just one-third of its capacity, says Tulsi Tanti, the company<nowiki>’</nowiki>s chief executive. Given the lack of a nation-wide renewables mandate, he says, Suzlon also has postponed plans to build another U.S. factory, in Texas.

'''Support from Government of India'''<br>
*; Amendment in Chinese Renewable Energy Law results in tremendous Growth opprtunities for Vestas
+
The Indian government has enacted legislation giving a tax break for investments in renewable energy twice in the last five years giving a significant boost to Suzlon as it has a 50% market share in India.
:* In 2010, the Chinese government revised the Wind-Power Sector targets to 150 GW by 2020 and also '''abolished the 70% local content requirement'''; while continuing their policy for R&D support, Reduced Tax Rates and Tax Rebate on import of components. New requirements for manufacturers to be eligible for tax breaks, land use and government loans are suited for large turbine manufacturers.
+
<br><br>
:* '''972 MW order intake in 2010''' - Vestas’ order intake in China has quadrupled to a new record in 2010. It also had a record-high Chinese exposure in 2010 (19% of volume)
+
'''Rejection of Wind Turbine Blades'''
:* In 2010, Vestas announced '''$50 million investment''' over 5-years period to develop its R&D facility in China.
+
<br>Suzlon has faced the problem of continuous rejection of wind turbine blades and it resulted in the following:

Market Overview

Share by Geography

  • India

Suzlon is the dominant provider in India, with a 50% market share in 2009. Enercon and Vestas have aggressively targeted the Indian market over the past 3 years, in part driven by the slowdown in developed markets. Suzlon has maintained its share. In India, many of Suzlon’s customers are small in size, and Suzlon provides the land as well as the infrastructure. This land bank of premium sites is an important barrier to entry.

  • Brazil

Suzlon is market leader in Brazil with a 50% share. Source:MAKE Consulting Report

  • China

Chinese providers (Sinovel, Goldwind and DongFang Electric) are expected to continue to dominate the Chinese market. Suzlon has launched a price competitive product to compete with local players. A small market share would have a material impact on Suzlon due to the large size of the addressable market. Suzlon said in August 2010 that it hopes to generate up to 1/3 of its revenues from China, although it subsequently appears to have reduced this emphasis. The presence of Chinese companies outside China is minimal, held back by the perception that they produce low price, but low quality turbines.

Competitive Advantage

Integration is a key advantage for Suzlon, setting it apart from most of its competitors. This helps to maintain quality standards and compatibility and is particularly important for gearboxes. Suzlon remains the dominant shareholder in Hansen and the two companies have long term supply agreements in place. Hansen is also developing a customised gearbox for RePower. If Suzlon sells its stake in Hansen, some of this advantage may be eroded.
