Growth Drivers & Opportunities:

Recent advancements in turbine technologies

The development and efficiency of the offshore wind sector have been greatly aided by improvements in offshore wind energy turbine technology.  Offshore wind turbines have considerably increased in size and power. Greater energy production per turbine is made possible by the trend towards larger, higher-capacity turbines, which also reduces the number of turbines required for a given project and lowers installation and maintenance costs. To increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the procedure, new installation methods are being investigated. These include techniques for reducing vessel downtime and making use of pre-assembled parts.

Increasing adoption of clean sources

As a part of their more comprehensive energy transition programmes, many nations and regions have established challenging renewable energy objectives. As it offers a significant potential for large-scale renewable energy generation, offshore wind energy is essential to achieving these goals. Costs have significantly decreased in the offshore wind industry as a result of technological advancements and economies of scale. The competitiveness of offshore wind against conventional fossil fuel-based power generation is rising as the costs of developing and running offshore wind farms continue to fall. Consumers, companies, and industries have an increasing need for cleaner, more sustainable energy sources. This demand may motivate financial investments in offshore wind energy projects and persuade energy suppliers to make renewable energy expenditures.

Industry Restraints & Challenges

Privacy concerns to hamper the market growth

To gather information on energy production, equipment performance, and environmental conditions, offshore wind turbines are frequently fitted with a variety of sensors and monitoring systems. However, gathering data can lead to questions about how it will be used, stored, and safeguarded, particularly if it contains sensitive or personal information. Offshore wind farms may disturb local residents and marine life with their operation's noise and vibrations. Residents nearby may experience a reduction in their privacy and quality of life as a result of these environmental effects. Drones, satellites, or other technology could unintentionally record private actions or information in the vicinity of offshore wind turbines during remote monitoring, raising questions about surveillance and privacy infringement.

Regional Forecast:

North American Market

North America is anticipated to dominate the Offshore Wind Turbine market from 2024 to 2033. Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island are just a few of the American states that have aggressive renewable energy targets that incorporate offshore wind energy as a key part of their energy mix. Through lease auctions, legislative changes, and financing for R&D, the U.S. federal government has demonstrated an increasing interest in fostering offshore wind development. Offshore wind projects have the ability to provide employment in the manufacturing, building, operating, and related sectors, which can have a favourable economic influence on the surrounding areas. The Vineyard Wind project, one of the most well-known offshore wind projects in the United States, got federal permission with the intention of becoming the nation's first substantial offshore wind farm.

Asia Pacific Market

Asia Pacific is witnessing the fastest market growth between 2024 to 2033. Due to its extensive coasts, robust winds, and high energy demand, the Asia Pacific area has enormous potential for offshore wind generation. As a part of their plans for renewable energy, several nations in the region have been actively building offshore wind projects. With a concentration on both fixed-bottom and floating wind projects, China maintained its position as the region's leader in the expansion of offshore wind power. Along its coastline, the nation had a large number of offshore wind farms in operation and planned. Japan has a lot of potential for offshore wind, especially where there are deep waters. To diversify its energy mix and lessen reliance on nuclear power, the Japanese government developed regulations to promote offshore wind growth.

Segmentation Analysis:

Insights by Rating

The > 10 ≤ 12 MW segment is projected to grow by 18% between 2024 to 2033. In places with strong and constant winds, offshore wind turbines with capacity of 10 to 12 MW are intended to gather more wind energy. They produce more energy per turbine thanks to their greater rotor diameters and improved capacity. Due to their increased efficiency and lower installation and maintenance costs, larger turbines can result in a lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Offshore wind energy may become more competitive with other electricity sources as a result. The ability to maximise energy production at a specific site with larger turbines makes offshore wind projects more competitive overall in terms of energy production and potential profitability.

Insights by Installation

The Fixed segment is expected the dominate the market over the forecast period 2024 to 2033. Although fixed installations have traditionally been the preferred option for offshore wind farms, the industry has been looking into other technologies including floating offshore wind and hybrid solutions to access deeper oceans or areas with challenging bottom conditions. Offshore wind turbines with fixed installations are a proven technology with years of operational experience. Around the world, this technology has been effectively implemented in several areas, most notably in Europe.
