Offshore wind industry accounted for over USD 580 million in 2022. Offshore wind power is a key component of these targets, is fostering the offshore platform electrification market demand to harness and distribute clean energy. Introduction of offshore wind technology systems including larger turbines with higher capacities and improved efficiency in conjunction with supportive government policies and regulatory framework will significantly fuel the industry scenario.
Underground cable in the sector is projected to surge due to the growing demand for subsea power transmission solutions. These cables play a crucial role in transmitting electricity from offshore wind farms or other renewable energy sources to the platforms located offshore. Increasing development of advanced cable technologies including submarine cables and HVDC cables and efficient transfer of electricity over longer distances and facilitating the electrification of offshore platforms will complement the industry size.
Europe offshore platform electrification market is estimated to amass USD 6 billion in 2032. The region is witnessing significant industrial growth on account of continuous development and expansion of existing offshore wind farms. Growing public and private sector investments to improve efficient electrification of offshore platforms will positively influence the deployment of renewable energy technologies. Advancements in subsea power transmission technologies comprising of HVDC cables and innovative cable design in line with developments of effective offshore platforms will strengthen the business outlook.
However, the governments of respective countries are implementing supportive policies, targets, and regulations to drive sustainable offshore platform electrification. Initiatives including the European Green Deal and national renewable energy targets provide a favorable regulatory environment and financial incentives for the deployment of renewable energy solutions, which in turn will stimulate the market statistics.
