The offshore wind energy market size accounted for US$ 23,750 Million in 2020 with a considerable CAGR of 19% throughout the forecast period from 2021 to 2028.
Offshore wind energy is the energy taken by the force of the winds at sea, which is transformed into electricity and supplied into the electricity network onshore. This technology is used to produce electricity through the wind using wind turbines constructed by the coastline of oceans and lakes. Offshore wind energy is beneficial as it is generation of energy from renewable sources. Moreover, the energy is generated at superior speed offshore as compared to onshore, which positively impacts the market growth of offshore wind energy. Offshore wind power is a continuously renewable and immeasurable energy source, and the transmission of wind into power generates no harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, as governments and industries work to tackle climate change and reduce greenhouse gases, offshore wind energy will play a fundamental role in future electricity generation.

However, surging demand for offshore wind installation is on the rise due to the accessibility of advanced technology and turnkey solutions offered by various service providers. Also, the rising demand for clean energy is likely to drive the offshore wind energy market across the globe during the forecast period.
Rising investments in the expansion of offshore wind energy infrastructure will fuel the offshore wind energy market
Rising investments in the development of deep-sea offshore wind energy projects along with the quick technological advancements are set to augment the business landscape. However, the private & public spending for the development & expansion of utility-scale projects with ongoing identification of potential sites for offshore wind projects will provide momentum to the overall industry expansion. Moreover, developing investments towards the expansion of sustainable energy platforms including floating and fixed offshore wind projects will further propel the adaption of this technology. In addition, engineering, procurement, construction and installation companies, oil and gas companies, wind turbine manufacturers, and other corporate investors are already investing in this sector, along with infrastructure funds, institutional investors, and export credit agencies are some of the major factors pouring the market share. Furthermore, enhancing the capacity utilization factor for energy generation in an economical & efficient manner by the robust R&D and investment by various energy and power companies in offshore wind energy will be fuel the growth of the offshore wind energy market.
Offshore Wind Energy Market Segmentation
The offshore wind energy market is segmented based on installation, water depth, and region.
Market by Installation
Among the installationsegment, fixed offshore structure segmentdominated the market share in 2020. Floating structure are relatively new in nature and is projected to show fast growth during the forecast period.
Market by Water depth
The up to 30m water depth segment is accounted to witness significant growth rate during the forthcoming years, due to rising expansion of the offshore wind power,Installing wind tower within lower depth is easier and reduces capital costs at the equivalent time. But also, the trend in the global market potential is anticipated to shift towards the deep-water installation where water depth is more than 30 meters that will expand the segmental growth.
