Wind turbines segment accounted for over 29% of the offshore wind energy market revenue in 2019. Wind turbines in the last decade have emerged as a core component across modern day wind-based power plants. Fundamental for this evolution is the industry re-structuring across power markets and rapid technological enhancements associated with the field of aerodynamics, and material composition. Manufactures through effective optimization & standardized product processes have incorporated environmental compatibility, high product efficiencies & power output and low installation costs, thereby positively swaying the market demand.
 

Companies are directing significant budgets toward project installation and R&D activities aimed toward augmenting the operational efficiency and develop their product portfolio. The ongoing incorporation of advance components & infrastructure will boost the offshore wind market growth. For instance, in March 2020, Enercon installed a new prototype E-138 EP3 for their E2 wind turbines at the Janneby site which is situated in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The new prototype increased the nominal power of E2 turbines from 3.5 MW to 4.2 MW and will help the company yield an additional power of 1.5 Million kWh every year.
