Author: Siddhant Dongare

The global Offshore Support Vessel Market is projected to reach a size of USD 26.8 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.0%, from an estimated USD 22.0 billion in 2021. The market growth is driven by robust investments in the offshore oil & gas and renewable sectors. Increasing deepwater activities and decommissioning of aging offshore infrastructure is likely to offer lucrative opportunities for the Offshore Support Vessel Market. The Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest offshore support vessel market, followed by Europe and North America in 2020. This trend is expected to continue until 2026. Also, the North American market is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. The growth of the offshore support vessel market is driven by rising offshore investments in the US and the Gulf of Mexico, and a focus on the potential deepwater discoveries in the US.

Increasing investments in offshore wind farm construction, coupled with huge potential for offshore oil and gas exploration activities to fuel the offshore support vessel market growth

One of the key factors influencing the global energy demand is the growth in the human population. The UN World Population Prospects predicts that the world population will increase from 7.6 billion in 2017 to 9.8 billion by 2050. This rise in the demand for energy has to be met with various energy sources such as oil & gas, renewables, thermal, and nuclear power. According to the BP Statistical Review of 2019, the world still had unexplored 1,729.7 billion barrels of oil reserves by the end of 2018. Discoveries of such reserves are translating into demand for well drilling and production activities, which, in turn, are supporting the offshore support vessel market growth.
