Based on voltage rating, the market is segmented into 132 kV & less and 132 kV & above. 132 kV & above segment is anticipated to grow by more than USD 12.57 billion by 2032. Rising advancements in cable technology and manufacturing processes enable the production of cables capable of handling this voltage range while maintaining reliability and performance standards will improve the product penetration. Increasing scale and capacity of offshore wind farms, which require higher voltage cables to efficiently transmit electricity over longer distances from offshore installations to onshore grids will improve the demand for high voltage rating product.
Based on conductor material, the Europe export offshore wind cable market is segmented into aluminum and copper. Aluminum segment is set to expand at a CAGR of over 43.5% through 2032, on account of its lightweight properties, which facilitate easier installation and reduce operational costs associated with offshore wind projects. Rising advancements in aluminum alloy compositions and manufacturing processes to improve the durability and reliability of cables, will enhance the suitability for offshore wind applications, bolster the material growth.
Furthermore, rising sustainability concerns and environmental regulations are fueling the demand for eco-friendly materials in offshore wind installations thereby propelling the material growth due to its abundance and environmental benefits.
Germany export offshore wind cable market is poised to witness over USD 1.62 billion by 2032. The country aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, with offshore wind playing a crucial role in achieving renewable energy targets will fuel the market trend. Favorable regulatory environment, and government support and incentives for offshore wind projects, will create a conducive ecosystem for market growth. Increasing number of offshore wind farm installations in the North and Baltic Seas necessitates extensive transmission infrastructure to connect offshore wind turbines to the onshore grid thereby stimulating the product demand.
