Based on component, the tower segment is anticipated to reach more than USD 2 billion by 2032. Rising advancements in tower design and construction, utilizing high-strength materials including steel and composites to enhance durability, reduce maintenance needs, and improve overall performance and reliability in harsh offshore environments will drive the product demand.
Additionally, rising cost reduction initiatives focus on optimizing manufacturing processes, reducing material usage, and streamlining installation procedures to lower the overall cost of wind projects will fuel its adoption over other components. Improving adoption of innovative tower designs incorporates features including low-impact foundations, noise-reducing technologies, and wildlife deterrent systems to mitigate potential environmental risks and ensure project sustainability will augment the market growth.
Based on axis, the vertical segment is set to grow at a CAGR of more than 78% through 2032. The axis offers advance features including compact footprint, omnidirectional wind capture, and scalability, making them suitable for various offshore environments, including deep waters and complex seabed conditions. Furthermore, the axis configuration results in a lower visual profile compared to traditional HAWTs, making them less obtrusive and more visually appealing in scenic coastal areas thereby fueling the market expansion.
Germany floating offshore wind energy market is projected to surpass USD 337.9 million by 2032.
