This report brings information in a rapidly growing industry!
Considering the availability of favourable sites, the expansion for the wind industry offshore and its huge potential is a foregone conclusion. With various projects being announced in Europe and Asia and the debate moving towards managing installation – the role of foundations is increasingly coming into focus.
The manufacturing, design and supply chain of foundation hold significant potential for profit but with inherent complexity and uncertainty of a rapidly developing industry. Currently, a number of technologies, designs and players are ready with proof of concept and a number of new players coming on board to participate in the early growth/transition stage which is underway right now and align to the future.
This report defines the opportunities in the market and forecasts the size, growth and undelying dynamics to bring a comprehensive objective analysis.
KEY FEATURES
Scope by Technology
Offshore wind foundations are a rapidly growing industry with a number of technologies and designs in the market. The report provides a comprehensive analysis on the penetration and cost erosion of foundation technologies by considering all the types of key foundation technologies – gravity, monopile, jacket, floating, and other emerging technologies along with the various designs for these technologies.
Geographic Focus
The study is a bottom-up analysis of the development and requirements of offshore wind installations across the globe. The installation plans for Europe, Asia, North America, and Rest of World are analysed on a stand-alone basis. These individual plans are compiled to provide the aggregated global projections of the market size by 2020.
