Research and Markets Announces Offshore Wind Foundations Report (Ireland)

This report brings information in a rapidly growing industry!

Considering the availability of favourable sites, the expansion for the wind industry offshore and its huge potential is a foregone conclusion. With various projects being announced in Europe and Asia and the debate moving towards managing installation – the role of foundations is increasingly coming into focus.

The manufacturing, design and supply chain of foundation hold significant potential for profit but with inherent complexity and uncertainty of a rapidly developing industry. Currently, a number of technologies, designs and players are ready with proof of concept and a number of new players coming on board to participate in the early growth/transition stage which is underway right now and align to the future.

This report defines the opportunities in the market and forecasts the size, growth and undelying dynamics to bring a comprehensive objective analysis.
