The growing demand for renewable and sustainable energy is expected to drive the expansion of the offshore wind turbine market. Renewable and sustainable energy, often termed as clean energy, is derived from natural resources or processes that are replenishable, such as solar and wind power. The increasing demand for clean energy is fueled by concerns related to the environmental impact of other energy sources, such as the emission of harmful pollutants from fossil fuel combustion and nuclear power reactors. In contrast, renewable sources such as solar and wind energy are environmentally friendly, leaving no adverse effects on nature. Harnessing electricity through offshore wind turbines is considered an efficient means of promoting sustainable development. For example, in 2023, reports from the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, a US-based clean energy trade association, highlighted significant strides in renewable energy in the US. In 2022, renewables accounted for 13% of the total US energy demand, with renewables and natural gas jointly increasing from 43% to 62% of total power generation within a few years. During the same period, the US added over 25.5 GW of new clean power, representing nearly 80% of all new capacity. Consequently, the escalating demand for renewable and sustainable energy is a key factor propelling the growth of the offshore wind turbine market.

The anticipated growth in the offshore wind turbine market is propelled by the increasing job creation in offshore wind projects. Job creation within offshore wind projects pertains to the employment opportunities stemming from the planning, construction, and operation of offshore wind farms. The deployment of offshore wind turbines plays a pivotal role in generating jobs throughout various phases, including development, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, thereby engaging skilled professionals and workers in the wind energy sector. A notable example is the data from June 2023, reported by the Offshore Wind Industry Council, a UK-based government and industry forum. By the end of 2021, the UK had witnessed a 4% increase in offshore wind workers, totaling over 32,000 individuals. This figure encompasses both direct employment and nearly 15,000 indirect jobs related to offshore wind activities. Projections for 2026 suggest a demand for approximately 88,509 skilled workforces. Consequently, the escalating job creation in offshore wind projects emerges as a significant driver fueling the growth of the offshore wind turbine market.

Increasing partnerships and collaborations are becoming a key trend in the offshore wind turbine market. Major companies in the sector are joining forces with industry stakeholders to advance technology development and enhance market presence. For instance, in April 2024, Vattenfall, a Europe-based energy company focused on sustainable energy solutions such as wind, hydro, and solar power, and BASF, a Germany-based chemical company operating in various sectors including chemicals, materials, and agricultural solutions, reached an agreement for BASF to purchase a 49% stake in Vattenfall's Nordlicht 1 and 2 wind farms. This collaboration strengthens their efforts in renewable energy.

Prominent companies within the market are strategically focused on the development of innovative solutions, exemplified by the introduction of floating offshore wind farms, to offer reliable services to their customers. A floating offshore wind farm is characterized by an assemblage of wind turbines affixed to floating platforms rather than fixed foundations, allowing them to operate effectively in deep waters. A noteworthy example is the achievement by Equinor ASA, a Norway-based multinational energy company, which inaugurated the world's largest floating offshore wind farm in August 2023. This 11-turbine facility, based on Equinor's Hywind concept, boasts an impressive 88 MW capacity, effectively covering 35% of the electricity needs for five platforms. Executed over a five-year span, the project incurred an investment of approximately NOK 7.4 billion, with 60% of the amount directed towards Norwegian suppliers, contributing to the growth of green jobs and technology development. Notably, when compared to the Hywind Scotland project, Hywind Tampen achieved a 35% reduction in investment cost per installed MW, showcasing the economic efficiency and advancements in floating offshore wind technology.

In July 2024, Ørsted, a US-based company focused on renewable energy solutions, particularly offshore wind farms, announced the acquisition of Eversource Energy's 50% stake in the Sunrise Wind project, a 924 MW offshore wind farm, for USD 152 million. This acquisition grants Ørsted full ownership of the project, which is set to provide renewable energy to nearly 600,000 homes. The Sunrise Wind project is located in the US and represents a significant step in Ørsted's commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio.
