Offshore Crane Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)
The offshore crane market demand is growing at a significant rate and is expected to witness influential growth during the forecasted period as well. Factors such as the increase in oil rigs, and the market for rig construction equipment and construction vessels will also increase. Therefore, it will propel the market for cranes on oil rigs. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the offshore crane market. Also, increasing oil discoveries in emerging economies such as Asia and Africa are major drivers for this market.
The rising demand for the installation of windmills to produce renewable energy is growing at a rapid pace. There has been a rise in the setup of offshore windmills, requiring offshore cranes for the maintenance and operations of turbines. The offshore wind research department is being reinforced by various government bodies to generate more amount of renewable power.
The global Offshore crane market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 8% during the period 2021-2027. An offshore crane is defined as a pedestal-mounted elevating and rotating lifting device used to transfer materials and personnel to or from marine vessels, barges, and structures. These offshore applications include bottom-supported, floating platform and ship-hulled vessels used in production and drilling operations, shipboard applications, and heavy-lift applications. Offshore crane demand is growing at a significant rate owing to the rising subsea construction & oil survey operations that are supporting the market development globally.
These subsea construction machines are mainly used owing to their great precision in heavy-duty operations like assembly, repair, & supply of oil & gas removal systems. In addition, the increasing demand for renewable energy is supporting offshore crane usage for the construction & manufacture of large wind turbines in an offshore situation is escalating the market size of the offshore crane market.
