Offshore Wind Cable Market size was valued at USD 2.83 billion in 2023 and is estimated to expand at 34% CAGR between 2024 and 2032. The demand for renewable energy sources has been driving the expansion of offshore wind farms. As a result, the need for reliable and efficient offshore wind cables has been growing to accommodate the increasing number of offshore wind turbines being installed.
An offshore wind cable, often referred to as a subsea or undersea cable, is a specialized type of electrical cable designed to transmit electricity between offshore wind turbines and onshore electrical grids. These cables are used to connect offshore wind farms, where the wind turbines are located in bodies of water such as oceans or large lakes, to the land-based power infrastructure.
