Export Offshore Wind Cable Market Size - By Voltage Rating (132 kV & Less, 132 kV & Above), By Conductor Material (Aluminum, Copper), & Forecast, 2024 – 2032

Export Offshore Wind Cable Market Size

The global export offshore wind cable market size was valued at USD 2.2 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 32.2% by 2032. An export wind cable is a type of power cable that is used in the transmission of electricity from an offshore wind farm to an onshore electric grid. These cables are reinforced for usage in difficult marine environments which include exposure to salt water, strong current and different weather conditions. They are used for connecting an offshore wind turbine with the electrical system of the land which in turn allows for safe transportation of renewable energy from an offshore point to an onshore region where energy will be consumed.
 

The increasing offshore wind resources and related infrastructure growth will fuel business expansion as countries look to achieve their renewable energy goals and lessen their reliance on fossil fuels. For example, in 2023, Europe installed more than 4.2 gigawatts of offshore wind resources in that year. In addition, factors such as improved project efficiency and reduced technology costs will boost the market statistics.

Emerging markets in Asia Pacific, North America, and other regions along with increasing investments in offshore wind projects will creating additional business opportunities. Rising demand for electricity and gradual swift towards clean energy will drive the business dynamics. Moreover, its advantage of not requiring any land and reduction in noise levels aligned with reliable and consistent supply of wind in offshore setup will complement the industry outlook.
 

Export Offshore Wind Cable Market Trends

The use of sustainable power transmission and electricity will facilitate the product adoption. Also, the improvement of cable including its materials, design and manufacturing process will influence the market positively. For instance, in February 2024, Sempra Energy – NKT – and FRI-EL Green Power Gmbh will implement dynamic cable for TAILWIND floating offshore wind project.
 

Export Offshore Wind Cable Market Analysis

Based on voltage rating, the 132 kV & above export offshore wind cable is projected to reach over USD 24 billion by 2032. Growing capacity of offshore wind farms necessitates the use of higher voltage export cables to efficiently transmit the generated electricity to onshore grids, thereby propelling the product penetration. Innovations in materials, insulation, and cable design for the construction of cables capable of withstanding the demanding marine environment in line with capability to provide cost effective project designs will further encourage the business potential.
 

Copper export offshore wind cable witnessed a market share of over 98% in 2023. Rising need for long-distance high current transmission cables along with other requirements such as strength and durability against corrosion factor for the harsh offshore conditions will augment the market growth. Strict regulations set by authorities on safety and performance requirements for offshore wind cables will boost the product penetration.
 

Europe export offshore wind cable market is predicted to hit USD 13 billion by 2032. Robust government spendings to accelerate wind development combined with the introduction of new technologies by major players will drive the business scenario. For instance, in 2023, Europe recorded USD 32.52 billion of investment in offshore wind energy. Additionally, mergers and acquisitions with an aim to diversify technological portfolio along with rising shift of major project developers to tap high wind potential from sea areas will boost the industry potential.
 

Supportive regulatory proposals toward the expansion of wind energy particularly offshore wind along with introduction of various initiatives will enhance the business landscape across the U.S. For instance, in June 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy launched new federal state offshore wind partnership to support the country’s clean energy goals and strengthen supply chain.

Export Offshore Wind Cable Industry News

• In January 2024, Jan De Nul Group signed a contract with Ørsted for the installation of export cables for the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm located 160 km from Yorkshire coast in UK. The company will provide installation and protection services for the 2 units of DC export cables with 350 km length which will connect the electricity grid to the wind farm that will generate power for over 3.3 million homes. Therefore, the supply order will strengthen the customer base of the company and support the renewable power supply across the region.
   
• In November 2023, NEXANS installed its export cables at South Fork Offshore Wind Farm of Eversource and Ørsted. This 138 kV export cable with 110 km length will transport 132 MW of power to Long Island, New York and provide energy to approximately 70 thousand households across the country. This significant step has enabled the company to showcase its subsea cable connection capability across the U.S.
