According to the new market research report
"Offshore
Wind Market by Component (Turbines (Nacelle, Rotors & Blades, Tower),
Substructure, Electrical Infrastructure), Location (Shallow Water, Transitional
Water, & Deepwater) and Region (North America, Asia Pacific, & Europe)
- Global forecast to 2026", published by
MarketsandMarkets™, the global offshore wind market size will grow to USD 56.8
billion by 2026 (forecast year) from USD 31.8 billion in 2021 (estimated year),
at a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period. Offshore wind is one of the
renewable energy sources and refers to electricity that is generated at
offshore locations. Offshore wind farms comprise turbines, substructure,
electrical infrastructure, logistics, assembly and installation. They can be
installed in three locations in water bodies, i.e., shallow water, transitional
water, and deepwater. Offshore wind is a crucial pillar in energy mix together
with onshore wind for regions such as Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America
to achieve their goals pertaining to climate neutrality.

The turbine segment is expected to
dominate the offshore wind market, by component, during the forecast period.
The turbine segment accounted for the
largest share of the offshore wind market, by component, in 2020. The turbine
segment of Offshore Wind Market is further classified into three
modules—nacelle, rotors and blades, and tower. Rotors and blades are most
stressed part of the turbine and are responsible for catching the wind.

The shallow water is expected to
dominate the offshore wind market, by location, during the forecast period.
Shallow water covers more of market
share in this segment as development of wind power in shallow water is
generally cost effective, due to better weather conditions. But with the
improvement in technologies and strong wind conditions present in transitional
and deep sea water, more future projects are planned for deeper waters.
However, offshore wind turbines are installed in all three water locations
depending on the region, turbine capacity, and wind speed.
The nacelle is expected to dominate
the offshore wind market, by turbine module, during the forecast period.
Nacelle is one of the important
components of an offshore wind turbine and accounts for the maximum cost of the
turbine, as it comprises all the main power generation equipment. The nacelle
is the section of the turbine that houses the components that convert kinetic
energy from the wind into mechanical energy, which is then used to turn a
generator that generates electricity. It comprises the drivetrain, power
take-off system elements, monitoring systems and other equipment, such as generator,
gearbox, bearings, cooling system, yaw system, pitch system, transformer,
converter, switchgear, brake, and sensors.
The substation is expected to show
strong growth in offshore wind market, by electrical infrastructure, during the
forecast period.
Substation and Wires & Cables are
the sub-segments under electrical infrastructure. It consists of equipment
necessary to transmit the electrical power generated from the offshore wind
farms to the end users. Due to increasing demand for offshore wind power and
connecting the power generated from these offshore wind to the main grid for
distribution of energy to end users, substation market is witnessing a strong
growth.

Asia Pacific is expected to lead the offshore
wind market
The Asia Pacific region includes China,
Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan and South Korea. This region has shown strong demand for
power owing to rapid urbanization and industrialization. With the shift towards
decarbonization and sustainable development, there has been a strong demand for
renewable power resources. Governments in this region are increasingly opening
gates for development and installation of offshore wind. Technological
advancements and clean energy consumption would further propel wind power
deployment and open up opportunities in the emerging markets in APAC. Various
countries are speeding up the installation of offshore wind in order to
diversify their energy mix as well as to meet their goal of rection in carbon
emission Moreover, favorable supportive schemes, huge investments in grid
infrastructure to maximize wind power generation, and foreign direct
investments would attract investors to the wind power industry.
The key players include General Electric
(US), Vestas (Denmark), Siemens Gamesa (Spain), Goldwind (China), Shanghai
Electric Wind Power Equipment Co. (China). The leading players are adopting
various strategies to increase their share in the Offshore Wind Market.
