Market Overview
The offshore wind market is set for higher growth rates in the upcoming forecast period. The offshore wind market also benefits from regulatory policies and a changed outlook of governments towards renewable energy sources.
Under sustainable development goals of 2030, the adoption of wind energy harnessing has gained traction. More and more countries are setting up wind harnessing farms. Among these countries with long coastlines and islands are leading in offshore wind farms set up. Wind energy market players are also making conscious efforts towards the set up of offshore wind energy farms.
Offshore wind harnessing projects are a crucial part of the entire wind energy market. There are two major types of wind harnessing initiatives based on location. One type is offshore, and another is onshore. Offshore wind projects are installed on water bodies like the seas and oceans. While onshore wind harnessing was preferred in the initial phase of growth, offshore wind projects are preferred now.
Offshore wind projects have fewer space restrictions and better capacity. According to studies, offshore harnessing offers higher wind speeds because water bodies have no or negligible obstructive structures. Thus, the flow of harnessing processes and electricity generation capacity is higher for offshore wind harnessing setups.
Given these industry trends and major drivers of offshore wind market growth, the market will project a high CAGR in the future years. The global offshore wind power generation has grown to 35.3 GW. The initiative to expand this power generation capacity is happening on a global scale. While the setup of many offshore wind power generation projects is complete, other projects are in the pipeline with the planning phase in progress. Therefore, it is no surprise that the offshore wind power market will see a double-digit growth rate that inches towards 21% in the forecast years.
