Floating Wind Turbine Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast. 2018-2028F
Global Floating Wind Turbine Market is expected to grow at a robust pace in the forecast period 2024-2028, owing to the significant increase in demand for renewable energy sources. Floating Wind Turbines are also affordable and have lower carbon emissions. Additionally, the floating wind turbine technology does away with the water depth restrictions, making it easier to choose the ideal location for power generation. These factors are expected to drive the global floating wind turbine market.
Floating Wind Turbine is a source of clean, renewable energy source that is acquired by harnessing the force of wind offshore, where the absence of impediments allows the wind to travel at a higher and more steady speed. It is one of the renewable sources that would be essential to the decarbonization process due to its great potential and strategic added value on both a socioeconomic and environmental level.
Offshore floating wind offers new possibilities and alternatives because it relies on floating rather than permanent structures. The potential minimal environmental effect and ease of production and installation of floating offshore wind are two benefits. The floating turbines and platforms can be produced and installed on land and then towed to the offshore installation location. Additionally, they can benefit from the powerful winds that are blowing in the deeper regions, which increases energy efficiency.
Increasing Shift Towards Clean Energy Generation to drive the Global Floating Wind Turbine Market
The use of renewable energy sources is a response by emerging and impoverished nations to rising carbon emissions caused by increased power demand. The development of wind farms is a result of the greater dominance of renewable energy sources like solar and wind in lowering carbon emissions. Offshore wind farms now exist as a result of advancement and technical research. Therefore, the market for floating wind farms has been driven by renewable energy sources.
Moreover, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), renewable energy sources would provide 90% of the world's electricity by 2050. Additionally, more than 80% of the energy produced worldwide is still derived from fossil fuels, although cleaner energy sources are gaining popularity. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), till 2022, renewable energy sources accounted for about 29% of electricity. Moreover, consumer demand for carbon-neutral electricity has sparked technological advancement and a solid supply chain as the energy vision for the future. The above factors are expected to boost the global floating wind turbine market.
Operative Advantage of Floating Wind over Fixed Offshore Structure is Driving the Growth of Global Floating Wind Turbine Market
Unlike onshore wind farms, floating wind farms don’t require land for installation. Bird deaths are decreased by floating turbines, as they may more readily avoid migratory flight lines and breeding and feeding sites. Desalination of seawater, decarbonizing energy-intensive extraction sectors, and electrolysis to produce clean hydrogen fuel, are a few examples of fuel, added to maintain environmental balance. With the highest wind flow, floating wind farms can resist challenging meteorological conditions, thus driving the growth of global floating wind turbine market.
Rise in Demand for Electricity Consumption is Expected to Drive the Global Floating Wind Turbine Market
The demand for electricity has tremendously increased in recent years. Advancements in technology have led to the introduction of electronic products for domestic and commercial purposes that need electricity. Moreover, increase in per capita disposable income and spending abilities of consumers boost the sales of electronic devices such as refrigerators, televisions, and air conditioners. Furthermore, the increase in modernization coupled with growth of the construction industry and evolution of prosperous societies & residential buildings, have fueled the demand for power since the past few years. Development of commercial sector, including schools, hospitals, retail & grocery stores, office buildings, along with the rise in number of industrial deployments, has further fueled the demand for electricity. The demand for an efficient electricity supply has increased due to these factors. Thus, governments of various countries have focused on producing electricity from renewable sources, which, in turn, is expected to propel the demand for floating wind turbines. Increase in electricity production and consumption is further expected to increase in future due to rapid development in emerging economies. Thus, the impact of the above factors on the overall market is expected to drive the global floating wind turbine market during the forecast period.
High Capital Investments are Expected to Hinder the Growth of Global Floating Wind Turbine Market
The market growth of floating wind power may be constrained by large initial expenditure factor. Power cables that transport electricity back onshore must be installed and maintained, which can be expensive. In water deeper than 200 feet (60m), it is challenging to build a strong and secure wind farm. These issues are beginning to be solved by floating wind turbines. Moreover, wind turbines can sustain damage from wave action, strong storms, and hurricanes. The initial expense of pre-development of wind farms, legal approval, technical considerations, engineering activities, and comparable other criteria serve as further roadblocks to the development of floating wind turbines.
Thus, above factors are expected to cause hindrance to the growth of global floating wind turbine market.
