Export offshore wind cable market size is anticipated to grow substantially during 2024-2032. With the expansion of offshore wind farms globally, there is heightened demand for export cables to transmit electricity generated offshore to onshore grids efficiently. For instance, in September 2022, the TSO initiated a qualification system for the supply of 2 GW High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) offshore platforms and HVDC converter systems. These cables are important for reliable transmission of energy over long distances while helping to integrate renewable energy into the wider electricity grid. Advances in offshore wind technology, including larger, more efficient turbines installed in deeper water are also necessitating more robust export cables that can handle higher voltages.
The supportive government policies and regulatory frameworks for promoting renewable energy adoption will favor the market growth. Incentives, such as feed-in tariffs, subsidies, and offshore wind development zones are encouraging investments in offshore wind infrastructure and related infrastructure, including pipeline exports. The increasing emphasis on carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas reduction is also accelerating the product deployment.
The overall industry is segmented into voltage rating, conductor material, and region.
Export offshore wind cable market from the less than 132 kV voltage rating segment is anticipated to gain momentum through 2032 due to its suitability for nearshore and shallow-water offshore wind projects. These low voltage lines are ideal for long-distance transmission of energy from offshore wind farms near the coast. Compared to high-voltage lines, they are cost-effective and easy to install, making them especially attractive for early-stage offshore wind projects and small projects.
The industry size from the aluminum conductor material segment is poised to witness significant growth rate over the forecast period. Aluminum cables are valued for their light weight, which makes them easier to handle and install when building offshore wind turbines. This characteristic is especially beneficial for reducing the overall project costs and transportation challenges associated with transporting and laying heavy cables in the marine environment. Aluminum boasts of excellent corrosion resistance as well as provides durability and durability in offshore conditions for reducing the maintenance requirements and extending cable life.
Asia Pacific export offshore wind cable industry size will record notable expansion between 2024 and 2032 attributed to expansive coastlines and favorable wind condition. Developments in offshore wind technology and economies of scale are significantly reducing costs, making offshore wind energy more competitive. These cost reductions, coupled with supportive government policies and incentives are encouraging renewable energy investments, further the driving demand for offshore wind pipelines to deliver electricity from offshore wind farms into geothermal electricity exports.
