Offshore Platform Electrification Market size is estimated to witness over 19.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032, driven by the ongoing technological advancements and innovations for revolutionizing the offshore energy sector for offering enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
Of late, HVDC (high-voltage direct current) transmission is revolutionizing the way offshore platforms receive and utilize electricity as it minimizes energy losses during transmission, further offering cost-effective and environmentally sustainable benefits. Moreover, the increasing deployment of HVDC systems at remote offshore locations, where traditional energy transmission methods are not feasible, is contributing to the market growth. For instance, in April 2022, it was reported that Dogger Bank is set to become the very first offshore wind project in the U.K to deploy Hitachi Energy's latest generation HVDC converter technology to transmit the electricity generated back to shore.
The offshore platform electrification market is segmented in terms of technology and region.
With respect to technology, the offshore platform electrification market is set to experience over 4.5% growth rate from the turbine segment through 2032. The ongoing shift towards greener energy sources globally is expected to propel the demand for electrification in providing sustainable power to offshore platforms. For instance, in August 2023, the world's largest offshore wind farm began construction of its first 277 turbines, as a step toward accelerating the shift to safer, greener energy sources.
Regionally, North America offshore platform electrification market is expected to expand at over 5.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. The increasing focus on renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind farms in the region is driving the demand for electrification solutions. Additionally, the need for reliable and stable power supply to remote offshore locations is accelerating the deployment of technological advancements and investments in offshore electrification infrastructure. For instance, in September 2022, the Biden administration revealed plans to build floating platforms in the deep ocean for wind turbines to power millions of households and significantly increase offshore wind in the U.S.
