Offshore Wind

Gain insights into the offshore wind service market and the related infrastructure 

Acquire a detailed understanding of the drivers of the offshore wind service market and the future demand for key components. 

We provide offshore wind market intelligence through analytics, data and advisory services, covering the entire value chain for offshore wind installations. Our market view is channeled through thematic reports, detailed factsheets, a steady flow of commentaries and bottom-up databases that are updated weekly. Clients can connect with our leading industry experts and go deeper through customized advisory services. 

We deliver detailed information about historical and upcoming offshore wind projects and related components, offering an installation time series for capacity, turbines, foundations, cables and offshore substations. All forecasts are derived from our bottom-up, project-by-project research, tracking all offshore wind farms from early concept through award, sanctioning, start-up and decommissioning. The analysis covers operators, developers and suppliers of components and services, allowing for detailed analysis of unit counts, market shares and forecast market sizes.  

We collaborate with developers and service providers to understand the projects, the technology and the value chain during this period of vast expansion. The overlap with other offshore activities, such as oil and gas, means that a holistic understanding is needed. Our consultants have worked with key players across the industry to help them understand both worlds and the interplay between them.

Advisory

Learn More

The exponential growth in the offshore wind space means that it is more important than ever to build strategies and formulate plans based on quality data and facts. Our consultants have a deep understanding of this space, and experience compiling and interpreting the most recent data to support customers in leveraging the growth. We have worked with numerous offshore supply companies on how they could leverage their current competencies to compete in the offshore wind space. 

  • Our consulting work builds on a strong understanding of the current activity and the pipeline of projects over the years to come. Furthermore, as technology is developing rapidly and pushing costs lower, we maintain a close relationship with market participants to understand the outlook.  
  • The offshore wind space is populated by specialists as well as companies that have built their business on strong capabilities in other sectors. We have over the years worked with numerous companies to support them in re-applying their capabilities in the offshore wind sector.  
  • In addition, given the utility scale opportunities typically offered through government license auctions, offshore wind has the potential to support continued electrification and emissions reductions in the oil and gas industry. We provide developers and suppliers with cost-benefit analyses, enabling them to understand the commercial potential of offshore wind in the oil and gas sector.
