Based on turbine rating, the >5≤ 8 MW segment is likely to reach USD 4.25 billion by 2032. They offer higher power generation capacities compared to earlier models, resulting in improved energy yield per turbine and reduced overall project costs per megawatt-hour, thereby stimulating the product adoption. It benefits from economies of scale in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, contributing to lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and improved project economics. Furthermore, manufacturers have introduced advanced turbine designs featuring larger rotor diameters, optimized blade shapes, and enhanced drivetrain systems to maximize energy capture and minimize loads, thereby catering to diverse market needs.
 

Based on installation, the floating segment is set to grow at a CAGR of over 39.5% through 2032. Floating turbines can operate in water depths that are prohibitive for traditional fixed-bottom offshore turbines, unlocking new areas for wind energy development, especially in regions with deep continental shelves or rough sea beds. Advances in floating turbine designs, such as semi-submersible, spar buoy, and tension-leg platform configurations, have improved stability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness is driving the business landscape. Additionally, developments in mooring and anchoring technologies ensure turbines remain stable in varying sea conditions, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing maintenance requirements, thereby fueling the market growth.
 

The U.S. offshore wind turbine market valuation to cross more than USD 6.19 billion by 2032. Initiatives such as the Department of Energy's Wind Energy Technologies Office and tax incentives like the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit (PTC) have encouraged investment in offshore wind projects. States like Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland have set ambitious offshore wind targets, provided financial incentives, and streamline permitting processes to attract developers which will strengthen the industry statistics. Moreover, development of floating wind turbine technology enables harnessing wind resources in deeper waters, expanding the potential for offshore wind projects along the U.S. coastline.
