Spinergie's new Supply Chain Module addresses growing challenges in the offshore wind market

Paris, France, November 7, 2024: Offshore wind is poised for exponential growth, with maritime technology company Spinergie indexing a global capacity of 195 GW by 2030. However, this ambitious expansion faces significant supply chain challenges, and bottlenecks extend beyond manufacturing. A critical shortage of installation vessels exacerbates the strain.

In Europe, industry players are turning to the global supply chain as domestic manufacturing capacity cannot keep up with demand. This, alongside increased activity in newer markets such as the USA and Asia, means supply chain bottlenecks are expected to impact almost all elements, from component manufacturing to vessel supply. In addition, the slowdown of the Chinese offshore wind market and the race to lower costs have intensified the competition between East and West.

Granular forward-looking market intelligence tools are invaluable for developers, manufacturers, and vessel managers seeking to navigate these challenges successfully. 

With this in mind, Spinergie’s intuitive Market Intelligence platform now incorporates a centralized global offshore wind supply chain information source. This supply chain module incorporates extensive component specs, manufacturing schedules, contracting updates, transport performance, and marshaling data. These features are backed by years of existing performance analysis and contextual features that populate the solution. 

Clients can compare projects and components, understand manufacturer market shares, spot emerging trends, and identify opportunities. This data provides a better understanding of the market dynamics behind each component, including foundations, turbines, substations and converters, floating structures, anchors, and subsea cables. It also allows clients to make informed decisions when sourcing them. 

The knowledge supplied by the module will allow clients to mitigate supply chain risks and delays while optimizing project planning and execution. 

‍“The supply chain is undoubtedly one of the most pressing concerns for wind industry players, and with several countries entering the sector, the pressure will rise. Tracking an increasingly international market requires in-depth analysis and clear-cut context. This is why we have developed our new Supply Chain module. 

‍“We believe that a granular, contextual analysis will be crucial for stakeholders as they build their plans now and into the next decade as capacity targets rise. 

‍“The launch of this new module reinforces Spinergie’s commitment to providing the offshore wind industry with the valuable market intelligence they need to achieve their goals,” said Jean-Baptiste Rougeot, Head of Analysis at Spinergie.

A replay of our previous webinar on the topic ‘Offshore Wind Supply Chain - is it moving from Europe to Asia’ is now available. In the webinar, Spinergie experts Eva Fraicher and Maelig Gaborieau use the new supply chain module to explore the rise of Asian manufacturing in Europe and its expected impact on the future of offshore wind.
