Offshore Wind Turbines Market: Unlocking Growth Potential and Addressing Challenges
United States of America – October 16, 2025 – The Insight Partners is proud to announce its newest market report, “Offshore Wind Turbines Market: An In-depth Analysis of the Offshore Wind Turbines Market.” The report provides a holistic view of the offshore wind turbines market and describes the current scenario as well as growth estimates during the forecast period.
Overview of the Offshore Wind Turbines Market
The offshore wind turbines market is witnessing robust expansion, driven by global decarbonization efforts, increasing commitments to renewable energy targets, and technological innovation such as larger turbine capacities and floating foundations. Governments in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America are pushing policy frameworks and financial incentives for offshore wind to reduce carbon emissions, enhance energy security, and meet net-zero objectives. Despite the opportunities, challenges such as high capital costs, regulatory uncertainties, supply chain bottlenecks, and the technical complexity of deepwater/floating turbines pose hurdles.
Key Findings and Insights
Market Size and Growth
• In 2024, the global offshore wind turbine market was valued at approximately USD 19.85 billion.
• It is forecast to grow to USD 38.13 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 11.5% from 2025 to 2030.
• Another projection places the market at around USD 41.2 billion in 2024, expanding to approximately USD 115.5 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of ~9.82%.
• In a longer-term view, one study estimates the market will reach about USD 61.7 billion by 2035, starting from roughly USD 16.6 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 14.0% over 2025-2035.
Key Factors Affecting the Offshore Wind Turbines Market
• Renewable Energy Policy & Net-Zero Goals: Many countries are committing to large-scale offshore wind deployment to meet climate targets and phase out fossil fuels.
• Technological Advances & Turbine Capacity: Turbines with higher MW ratings (e.g. above 5 MW and moving toward 15-20+ MW) are preferred to increase efficiency and lower cost per unit of energy.
• Floating Wind Technology & Water Depth Expansion: Traditional fixed-bottom turbines are restricted by shallow water. Floating turbine technology enables deployment in deeper offshore locations.
• Economic & Supply Chain Considerations: High upfront capital expenditure (CAPEX), cost of installation and maintenance, logistics (transport, foundations, cables), and materials (steel, rare earths) affect viability.
• Regulatory & Permitting Processes: Permits, environmental assessments, grid connection, and local regulations can delay projects and escalate costs.
• Grid Infrastructure & Transmission: Offshore energy needs adequate undersea cables, substations, and connection points to onshore grids; delays or limitations here constrain growth.
Market Segmentation
Here are common segmentations used in the offshore wind turbines market:
• By Turbine Capacity: Up to 3 MW; 3–5 MW; Above 5 MW. The “above 5 MW” segment currently holds a leading share and is growing fastest.
• By Water Depth / Foundation Type: Fixed-bottom (shallow or transitional depths) vs floating (deep water). Shallow water (<30 m) still holds large share, but deeper water / floating systems are emerging.
• By Region: Europe (especially North Sea, Baltic), Asia-Pacific (China, Taiwan, etc.), North America (USA, Canada), other emerging markets. Europe currently dominates share, Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest growing.
