Covid 19 Analysis

The covid 19 pandemics have affected the global offshore wind market by increasing the delays in the projects. Europe is considered as the leading region of the market and it is the most affected by the global pandemic. The disruption in the global trading has restricted the construction of the projects further leads towards increasing CAPEX for the projects. Based on the reports of IEA, the global market is predicted to witness a higher growth rate, post-pandemic and the major factors for the growth of the market are average LCOE of USD 50/MWh and the rise in the cost competitiveness. However, the government of these markets is willing to increase the volume and target of the offshore market toward 2030, which will ultimately lead towards the maximum offshore installation.

Industry News

In 2019, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy received orders to supply 8 MW offshore wind turbines to the Ørsted 900 MW offshore wind farm in Taiwan.

Market Dynamic

          Restraints

  
  

Huge capital investments and the high maintenance cost are the major restraints of the market which leads to the decline of profit. Issues related to logistics are another major hurdle in the growth of the market. Offshore wind turbines are responsible for the harsh marine environment and its more favorable feature like high speeds is considered as a negative factor for the offshore wind turbines.

The lack of easy accessibility due to the installation of the offshore wind turbines far away from the shore makes it difficult to operate mainly in bad weather conditions. The rectification of issues can expensive in terms of transportation, logistics, and maintenance. All these factors are the major challenges that are likely to hinder the market growth.

•     Challenges

The impact of offshore wind energy farms on the landscape is the major challenge faced by the global market. Most of these farms are constructed in the shallow waters which are nearer to the coast, which ultimately brings a lot of issues in terms of usefulness. Moreover, the advancement in technologies is expected to help the constructors in building these wind farms farther from the coast.

The construction phase of these wind farms is likely to affect marine life and extremely damages the sea mammals, which can be considered as a negative impact. The usage of bubble screens can help in resolving this issue and furthermost, it also helps in reducing the noise pollution generated through these wind energy farms.

Cumulative Growth Analysis

On the basis of the water depth, the global offshore wind market is pronged into up to 30m and 30m above. Among which the 30m segment is expected to hold the majority of the shares due to the installation of the wind towers which is easier in shallow water and altogether decreases the overall cost of the capital.

Moreover, the forecast period is expected to witness a magnificent growth in the 30m above segment and it is predicted to rise from 30% to 50%. This is due to the increase in the investments in the floating offshore wind power projects which are installed in deep water.
