The European offshore wind energy market is projected to witness robust growth owing to increasing investment in offshore wind energy projects. Rising energy demand and growing concerns over the emission of greenhouse gases are influencing governments to promote the adoption of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Increasing investment in offshore wind projects, especially in Europe, is anticipated to fuel the growth of the offshore wind energy market.
The U.K. was the largest market for offshore wind energy in 2015 among all European countries. Increasing investment in offshore wind energy projects from the private sector, coupled with favorable government policies such as the Energy Act of 2013, and the establishment of the Offshore Wind Cost Reduction Task Force to achieve Levelized costs of offshore wind at £100 per MW/h by 2020, represent high growth for the offshore wind energy market during the forecast period (2016–2024).
Germany is projected to be the fastest-growing segment among all European countries during the forecast period. A high number of approved pipeline projects coupled with increasing investment from the private sector in offshore wind energy is anticipated to fuel the growth of offshore wind energy in the region. Over the next five years, the country is expected to gain 4.5 GW of installed offshore wind energy capacity from under-construction projects.
Further, approval of new projects and pipeline projects is projected to expand the installed capacity to 9.4 GW by 2020. The country also holds the second-largest market share in terms of installed capacity in Europe. The country is projected to gain significant market share by 2023. Other regions, such as Denmark and the Netherlands, are also anticipated to witness high growth during the forecast period (2016–2024).
