Global Offshore Wind Turbines Market Analysis and Forecast
Global Offshore Wind
Turbines Market: Snapshot
Wind energy has been
harnessed by the oldest of civilizations. Today, the wind energy
sector has evolved to generate electricity, through wind turbines
taking off a major load from conventional sources of energy. Wind
turbines use the power of natural wind to generate electricity. The
technology is still in its nascent stage. It must overcome technical,
economic and political challenges for commercial and large-scale
deployment. Several developing countries have opened up a plethora of
opportunities for the global offshore wind turbines market as the
pressure of keeping the carbon emissions low is mounting each day.
According to the research report, the global offshore wind turbines
market is projected to be worth US$58,729.7 mn by the end of 2025
from US$29,418.9 mn in 2016. During the forecast period of 2017 and
2025, analysts estimate that the global market will surge at a CAGR
of 7.7%.
Floating Offshore
Wind Turbines See Higher Adoption due to Advantages over Traditional
Turbines
As shallow- and
deep-water spots being explored harness the potential for power
generation from wind, they are likely to augment the growth of the
floating wind turbines segment over the forecast period. Offshore
floating turbines are advantageous over fixed structures in terms of
the total cost incurred in installation and production. These wind
turbines come with a floating platform to support the entire turbine
structure. On the other hand, traditional offshore plants need fixing
of foundations to the seafloor and bolting of massive turbines on
them, which can hamper the ecology as well.
Several new,
offshore, floating wind turbine projects are in the prototype phase
for testing of their operational feasibility, particularly in India,
China, South Korea, the Pacific Islands, and Japan. A floating
platform and its turbine are entirely manufactured onshore. They are
then towed out and tethered to the seafloor. Another advantage of the
floating platform is that they can be identical in shape, which
reduces the cost of customization.
Asia Pacific and
Europe to Remain Nip and Tuck in Global Offshore Wind Turbines Market
From a geographic
point of view, Europe and Asia Pacific are expected to provide
significant growth potential for the offshore wind turbines market
during the forecast period. Europe dominated the global offshore wind
turbines market in 2016, with vast expansion in offshore wind power
generation. Wind is one of the leading sources of the renewable
energy mix in the region. Offshore wind energy is gaining market
share at a rapid pace in the renewable energy mix because of the
advantages that it possesses over onshore wind energy.

Various countries
across the globe have established electricity generation targets from
renewable energy. Developing economies such as India are now focusing
on renewable sources of energy for power generation. India has set
targets of electricity generations by wind energy and solar energy.
Exploration of offshore sites is being carried out in order to
enhance profitability of power generation from wind. Unlike onshore
sites, offshore sites generally have uninterrupted winds throughout
the year.
