Research and Markets: Global Offshore Wind Power Market: Trends and Outlook - 2010-2013

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a46932/global_offshore_wi) has announced the addition of the "Global Offshore Wind Power Market: Trends and Outlook - 2010-2013" report to their offering.

“Global Offshore Wind Power Market: Trends and Outlook - 2010-2013”

Over the last decade, wind power has emerged as the fasted growing energy sector with an average annual global growth of more than 28% and double digit annual growths in almost all major markets. Though, over the years, the costs of wind power generation have come down, it is still high compared to many conventional resources. In order to better utilize the wind power, there is a grow interest in offshore wind, that is, erecting wind towers offshore, where the wind blows harder and larger turbines can be installed. For last many years, Europe has been the market leader in offshore wind development with a total installed capacity of more than 2GW. And over the next few years, offshore wind capacity in the region is expected to grow by more than 1,000MW annually. Apart from Europe, many new offshore wind projects are sanctioned and are underway in United States, Canada, China and other Asian countries. Future of offshore wind power will depend on factors industrial commitment and ambition, R&D efforts, political support for the technology and development of adequate grid infrastructure. Synergyst's latest report Global Offshore Wind Power Market Trends and Outlook (2010-2013) analyzes the potential of the global offshore wind power market and presents trends and forecast for the overall market as well as individual countries.
