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 offshore wind 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 offshore wind 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.

          Restraints

  
  

Huge capital investments and the high maintenance cost are the major restraints of the offshore wind 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 offshore wind market growth.

•     Challenges

The impact of offshore wind energy farms on the landscape is the major challenge faced by the global offshore wind 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.

Value Chain Analysis

The global offshore wind market revenue is predicted to grow at a 15.39% CAGR, during the forecast period. According to the reports, the global offshore wind market is segmented on the basis of components location and region. Based on components, the global offshore wind market is segmented into towers, turbines, electrical infrastructure, nacelle, and blades. The turbine is likely to dominate the global offshore wind market during the forecast period because the latest model of turbines is more powerful due to its additional features like larger lengths of blades which is capable of utilizing more wind and produces more electricity and along with that it is also a perfect low-cost substitute of renewable energy generation.

Based on location, the global offshore wind market is segmented into shallow water, transitional water, and deep water. The shallow water segmented has accounted for the largest share in the global offshore wind market. Moreover, the transitional water segment is predicted to register a high CAGR of 10.86% from 2019 to 2026. The wind turbines in the deep water are expensive due to the high-cost maintenance and on the other hand, the development of shallow water is cost-efficient due to good weather conditions.
