Asia Pacific Offshore Wind Cable Market

Asia Pacific Offshore Wind Cable Market size was valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 24.1% between 2024 and 2032. Offshore wind cable refers to the specialized electrical cables used in offshore wind energy projects to transmit electricity generated by offshore wind turbines to onshore grids. These cables are essential components of the wind farm infrastructure, enabling efficient and reliable transfer of renewable energy from wind farm to the mainland. Offshore wind cables are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, including high winds, waves, currents, and corrosive saltwater.

Increasing prioritization of renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels aligned with setting up of ambitious targets for offshore wind capacity installation will augment the business potential. For instance, Japan’s offshore wind capacity is set to grow over 10 GW by 2030. Additionally, rapid economic growth and urbanization, leading to a surge in energy demand coupled with technological advancements will drive the adoption of cable solutions.

Emerging trend toward development of large offshore wind farms and deep water installations along with rising focus on localizing the offshore wind supply chain to enhance energy security will boost the market statistics. In addition, growing interest in floating offshore wind technology coupled with growing environmental and regulatory considerations will complement the business outlook.

Asia Pacific Offshore Wind Cable Market Trends

Influx of significant public and private investment in offshore wind energy infrastructure from both domestic and international sources in line with development of cost effective offshore wind cable solutions will influence the product demand. For instance, in September 2023, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Northland Power Inc. invested over USD 1.69 billion for Hai Long Offshore Wind Power Project in Taiwan. Moreover, presence of vast offshore wind resources, particularly in coastal areas with strong and consistent wind speeds will stimulate the product penetration.
