Europe Wind-assisted Propulsion Market Analysis and Forecast Report 2023

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Europe Wind-assisted Propulsion Market: Analysis and Forecast, 2023-2032” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Europe wind-assisted propulsion market (excluding U.K.) is projected to reach $8,294.1 million by 2032 from $35.6 million in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 83.22% during the forecast period 2023-2032

Wind-assisted propulsion is listed as a “energy harvesting” technique in energy efficiency indexes due to its use of wind to directly increase thrust. Nonetheless, operational costs are still vulnerable to weather-related fluctuations.

However, the benefits of sailing can be enhanced by using weather routing algorithms, which can chart ideal routes tailored to specific vessels. Nonetheless, widespread adoption of wind-assisted propulsion systems (WAPSs) confronts significant challenges, including the critical need for reliable and efficient technologies that can operate well in a variety of weather circumstances.

While wind propulsion systems have the potential to become more cost-effective in the future, they are now significant investments. The lack of a standardized strategy to designing, building, and integrating wind-assisted propulsion systems on board vessels makes achieving economies of scale and consistent production necessary to minimize costs difficult. Wind-assisted propulsion systems are predicted to grow in popularity over the next decade as a replacement for fuels such as green methanol, biofuels, green hydrogen, and others.

Market Introduction

The wind assisted propulsion market in Europe refers to the use of wind energy to aid in the propulsion of ships and other vessels. Wind-assisted propulsion solutions, such as wind turbines, sails, and kite sails, harness the power of the wind and minimize dependency on traditional fossil fuel engines. These technologies have the potential to assist the European shipping industry in terms of fuel economy, decreased emissions, and total cost reductions.

Sea shipping is the principal way of delivering products throughout the world and is a cornerstone of global trade. The marine industry, on the other hand, has long been recognized as a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, owing to the usage of fossil fuels for propulsion. The maritime sector is undergoing a fundamental shift as a result of the pressing need to battle climate change and cut carbon emissions.

Wind energy, as harnessed by novel technology like as kite propulsion systems and other wind-assisted solutions, is poised to play a critical role in assisting the marine shipping industry in meeting its ambitious GHG emission reduction targets. The maritime sector can considerably improve its sustainability and minimize its carbon footprint by harnessing the unlimited and pure power of the wind.
