Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and after post COVID-19 era. The favorable government regulations for floating wind are notably driving the floating wind turbine market growth, although factors such as competition from alternative technologies may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the floating wind turbine industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Floating Wind Turbine Market Driver
The favorable government regulations for floating wind are one of the key factors driving the growth of the global floating wind turbine market. To promote emission-free technologies, the use of alternative energy sources such as wind power, solar PV, and hydropower is essential. Globally, governments support the adoption of wind power as it is an essential renewable energy source. As the floating offshore wind energy market is in its nascent stage, some targeted subsidy mechanisms are enforced to support floating wind projects. Many governments have granted funds for floating offshore wind demonstration projects. For instance, in December 2019, the UK government announced its plan to increase the capacity of offshore wind energy installed base to 40 GW by 2030. It also announced that it would support the development of floating wind turbines during the same period. Governments from many other countries, especially France, Norway, Portugal, Japan, and the US, have also supported floating offshore wind projects through various industry collaborations and funding mechanisms, which will drive the market for floating wind turbines during the forecast period.
Key Floating Wind Turbine Market Trend
The decline in LCOE of wind power generation will fuel the global floating wind turbine market growth. Technological advances, global initiatives toward harnessing clean energy sources, and implementation of efficient wind turbines have led to the decline of the installation costs of wind turbines, which led to the development of onshore and offshore wind solutions to compete with conventional energy sources like fossil fuels. The decline in various aspects such as operations and maintenance and costs of wind turbines led to the competitive pricing of products in the wind turbine market, which decreased the LCOE of wind. Further bids in Europe and North America at a much lower price per kWh have resulted in a drastic change in the competitiveness of the projects that will be commissioned in the coming years. This has made offshore wind an attractive proposition for several countries across the world to provide clean, low-cost electricity, which is capable of competing with fossil fuels without explicit financial support. However, the declining LCOE of wind power systems will increase the efficiency of floating wind turbines and lead to the gradual growth of the global floating wind turbine market during the forecast period.
Key Floating Wind Turbine Market Challenge
Competition from alternative technologies is a major challenge for the global floating wind turbine market growth. Sources of global floating power plants such as power ships and power barges are installed to meet the instant demand for power in developing countries due to continuous power blackouts, which is a result of power deficit or due to power shortages. Countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia face issues like slow progress in the power sector, thereby resulting in the slow construction of power plants, which has encouraged government authorities to use substitutes to meet the demand for power until conventional power plants are finished. The need to meet immediate power requirements is a major driving factor for the increase in the deployment of floating power plants. In addition, floating wind turbines are competing with other floating power plants such as floating nuclear power plants and floating solar systems, which impacts the market for floating wind turbines negatively.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the wind power industry supply chain, including the floating wind turbine market in Europe, experienced major disruptions in 2020. In response to COVID-19 measures, factories in Europe were temporarily closed, especially in the most affected countries, namely Italy and Spain. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives has lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the resumption of supply chain activities. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
