Market Segmentation

"Fixed Offshore Structure Segment to Dominate the Market by Installation"

世界各国都在关注increasing investment in offshore wind power projects to extract energy from natural wind resources available in the environment, thereby fueling the global market. Installing offshore wind power is a challenging task because it requires movement of heavy and big equipment to the project location which increases the overall cost per kW. But with the introduction of advanced technology and cost-effective solutions for offshore installation & wind turbines, the overall cost has become lower than earlier which makes the offshore wind a feasible option among the renewable energy category. In terms of installation type, the most preferred technology for offshore wind power is the fixed structure due to the ease of operation and cost-effectiveness. Currently, the fixed structure segment dominates the global offshore wind power market share with floating structure is at a very introductory stage, however, on the basis of planned and upcoming projects, floating structure type is going to see a significant growth rate during the forecast period.

"Increasing Focus Toward Deeper Installation to Augment the Global Offshore Wind Power Market Growth"

In terms of water depth, the majority of the market growth accounts for shallow water i.e. up to 30m segment, an increasingly popular offshore wind power type, as installing wind tower in lower depth is much easier and reduces capital expenditure at the same time. But, the trend in the global market potential is expected to shift toward deep-water installation where water depth is more than 30 meters. In 2018, the above 30m segment holds around 30 % of the market in terms of installed capacity, this share is likely to reach 50% mark in the forecast period owing to increasing investment in floating offshore wind power projects which mostly installed in a deeper location.

"Higher Turbine Capacity to Gain Momentum in the Global Market"

On the basis of installed capacity,wind turbine有一个额定功率范围在3兆瓦到5兆瓦widely accepted form of offshore wind power due to much-explored technology and cost-effectiveness. But as per the shifting trend toward deeper installation and floating type structure, the demand for a higher power rating turbine is most preferred to make offshore wind power generation energy-efficient and economically feasible. The demand for the above 5MW segment is expected to cross 50% of the global offshore wind power market share whereas below 3MW segment is expected to have a major decline during the forecast period.

Regional Analysis

"China is Going to Dominate the Market with a Significant Growth Rate"

At present, the U.K. accounted for a major share of the installed offshore wind power in the global market, followed by Germany and China respectively. The market trend is anticipated to witness a tremendous shift where China would become the market leader in offshore wind power followed by the U.K., Germany, France, and Spain. In 2018, China has installed approximately 40% of the world's offshore wind power paving the way for other countries. In addition to that, the country has lots of under-construction and upcoming projects lined up in the forecast period. Key emerging countries in offshore wind power are Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, India, Vietnam, and the U.S.
