Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising electricity demand from coastal communities
The worldwide per capita power consumption has been increasing at a high rate since 2005. According to the World Bank, the average per capita power consumption of the world per year is more than 3,135 kWh. A few of the major countries that have the highest per capita energy consumption per year include the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, South Korea, and Germany. Extensive usage of various electric equipment such as heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, and others is increasing the power consumption in these countries. This is further supported by the increased spending capability of consumers. According to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), in 2021, the power demand from the US was around 97 quads, up by 4.7% compared to the 2020 consumption. Moreover, in the coming years, a few of these countries have also witnessed a steep growth in their coastal population, increasing the power demand from these areas. In Australia and the US, almost 40% of the total population lives in the coastal regions; similarly, in Japan, around 80% of the population resides in coastal regions. Furthermore, the growing population not only increases the power demand but also restricts the availability of land space. This leads to a situation where the space to set up land-based power generation plants is neither easily available nor economically viable. These factors have led to an upsurge in demand for power plants in coastal regions. The generation of clean energy utilizing wave energy converters could be an advantage for these areas and their inhabitants, further driving the market growth.
Restraints: Insufficient infrastructure and environmental challenges
Wave energy converters can be installed in offshore, near shore, and shoreline locations. Proper connections or port facilities and grid infrastructure are the keys to further development and enabling maintenance undertakings. Though site selection is a significantly important task for installing wave energy converters to maximize power generation, the generated power is equally important to transmit to its place of consumption. This transmission of power requires additional infrastructure such as onshore substations, underground cables, and transmission lines connecting to the grid. Setting up this infrastructure requires additional labor and capital. Moreover, during installation, the mooring of the wave energy converter is an essential factor that contributes to the difficulties as the mooring ropes must be anchored to the sea floor bed with drilled-in anchors. Hence, setting up a wave energy power plant of any scale requires these additional infrastructures, acting as a potential restraint to the wave energy converter market.
Opportunities: Increasing R&D investments and technological development
Wave energy is a relatively underexplored renewable power generation technology. Most of the companies that are offering this technology are still working on their pilot projects. Numerous researchers are studying various parameters corresponding to the viability of WEC and how their cost can be brought down without compromising efficiency. Wave power harnessing is still an emerging technology it is still not fully developed. Due to its complex nature, no single design of this device has emerged as optimal. Major issues faced by the wave power industry are developing technologies that are capable of withstanding extreme ocean weather and harsh environmental conditions, energy storage, and consistency of supply in sufficiently large amounts. Several countries are heavily investing in the development and adoption of renewable energy technologies. As per the International Energy Agency, the global power sector investment in renewable energy generation was more than USD 750 billion in 2018. China, India, the UK, Germany, and the US are among the top investors in the R&D of renewable energy. In 2017, the total renewable investments that happened in the US were close to USD 48.5 billion. As wave energy is a renewable form of energy generation, several key countries such as the US and Australia are significantly investing in R&D. For instance, in 2017, the US Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy stated that the government has announced about USD 12 million for supporting the development of innovative technologies such as advanced marine and hydrokinetic energy technologies, which can harness energy from the oceans. Furthermore, the International Energy Agency predicts that renewable energy sources are expected to witness the fastest growth rate in the electricity sector, catering to about 30% of the power demand in 2023, up from 24% in 2017. Oceans cover a relatively larger surface area than the habitable land mass. This makes them exposed to a majority of solar radiation and wind motion experienced by our planet. Wave energy converters being placed in the oceans receive the maximum amount of uninterrupted solar radiation throughout the year. This makes them an ideal place to install solar modules for further enhancing power generation.
Challenges: High capital investment
Wave energy converters operate within marine bodies for their entire lifespan. Ocean water contains several impurities and a high level of salinity that can corrode the toughest of metals. These harsh weather conditions are significantly hard to be sustained by wave energy converters. Hence, for making their operation efficient, reliable, and long-lasting, manufacturing companies have to use thick sheets of high-grade metals and coat them with multiple layers of corrosion-resistant heavy-duty paints. Wave energy converters should be able to withstand operational loads under extreme loading conditions and during events such as hurricanes and storms. The process of high-grade manufacturing and coating not only makes the wave energy converters heavy but also increases the price of the equipment. The price of a wave energy converter can go as high as 10 times the price of other renewable technologies offering nearly similar output. In addition, costs incurred in related processes such as installation and mooring add a significant amount to the CAPEX of the whole project, acting as a potential challenge to this market.
By technology, the oscillating water column segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.
The oscillating body converters technology is expected to continue to hold the largest share of the wave energy converter market, by technology, owing to the high efficiency and ease of installation of the wave energy converters using this technology in near-shore locations.
By location, the offshore segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.
By location offshore segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate from 2022 to 2030, offshore wave energy converters can harness the most amount of wave energy as wave energy resources are strongest in offshore locations, this drives the growth in offshore.
By application, power generation segment is expected to grow the fastest, during the forecast period.
By application, the wave energy converter market has been segmented into power generation, desalination and environmental protection. The high growth rate of the power generation segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for power from coastal communities.
Europe is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period.
Europe is expected to be the largest and the fastest growing region in the wave energy converter market, during the forecast period. The growth of the European wave energy converter market is characterized by rapid industrialization of various end-use industries in countries such as UK, Portugal, Denmark and France.
