Core Insights - The global offshore wind power industry is accelerating, with a cumulative installed capacity expected to reach 83.2 GW by the end of 2024, providing clean electricity to over 73 million households. Floating wind power installations have reached 27.8 MW across seven countries. China continues to lead, with a cumulative grid-connected capacity of 44.61 million kW by September 2025, accounting for half of the global new installations in 2024 [1][10][11]. Market Overview - Offshore wind power is increasingly recognized as a clean energy source with significant growth potential, becoming a focal point for many countries. Despite a temporary slowdown in new installations in 2024 due to supply chain and policy adjustments, the industry shows strong long-term growth resilience, with a cumulative installed capacity increase of 12% year-on-year [23][24]. - In 2024, global offshore wind power installations totaled 8 GW, a 26% decrease from 2023, with China leading at approximately 4 GW, followed by the UK with 1.2 GW [23][24]. Industry Chain Development - The global offshore wind power supply chain is evolving from a single manufacturing focus to an integrated system encompassing development, manufacturing, construction, and operation. Key components include turbines, towers, and subsea cables, but regional imbalances persist, with Asia primarily supplying equipment while Europe and North America lead in technology development [33][34]. - The supply chain faces challenges such as financing difficulties, slow policy approvals, and instability in the supply of key materials and high-end talent. By 2030, many countries outside China will encounter bottlenecks in their supply chains, particularly in Latin America, where onshore wind capacity is limited and offshore projects are virtually non-existent [33][34][49]. Latin America Development - Latin America has abundant wind energy resources, with a cumulative installed capacity of 25 GW for onshore wind, predominantly in Brazil. However, the region's offshore wind supply chain is almost non-existent, facing significant challenges such as weak local manufacturing and insufficient infrastructure [49][50]. - The region's offshore wind projects are in the early planning stages, with countries like Colombia, Brazil, and Chile exploring integration with green hydrogen strategies. The first demonstration projects are expected to start before 2030 [52][53]. Future Outlook - The global offshore wind market is projected to add over 350 GW of new installations from 2025 to 2034, with floating wind power expected to achieve large-scale development by 2030. China's target for offshore wind capacity is set at 150 GW by 2030, with a continuous decline in the cost of electricity generation [2][10]. - The industry is expected to evolve towards deep-sea, intelligent, and integrated development, with the "offshore wind +" model creating a new energy ecosystem. China is anticipated to play a leading role in promoting global supply chain cooperation and sustainable development [2][10].
