According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Offshore Wind Cable Laying Vessel (CLV) market size was valued at US$ 525 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
An Offshore Wind Cable Laying Vessel (CLV) is a specialized ship engineered to install and maintain submarine power cables—especially the high-voltage inter-array and export cables that connect offshore wind turbines to each other and to onshore grids. These vessels feature dynamic positioning, heavy cable-carousels, tensioners, and sometimes ROVs for trenching or laying in deep waters.
The Offshore Wind Cable Laying Vessel (CLV) market is experiencing strong growth, driven by the global expansion of offshore wind energy, technological advancements, and increasing interconnection projects. Key trends include vessel specialization, sustainability improvements, and regional market expansions in the U.S. and Asia. As offshore wind farms grow in size and distance from shore, the demand for advanced CLVs will continue to rise, presenting opportunities for shipbuilders, operators, and renewable energy investors. Companies that invest in next-generation, high-capacity CLVs will be well-positioned to capitalize on this booming market.
Market Drivers
Surging Offshore Wind Capacity: Offshore wind is rapidly expanding (projected to exceed 200 GW by 2030), necessitating massive cable installation capacity. CLVs are indispensable to deploy these critical subsea cables. Government Policy & Funding Incentives: Ambitious targets—like the EU’s 300 GW by 2050, U.S. aiming for 30 GW by 2030—and government subsidies are fueling demand for dedicated.
Market Trends
Larger & More Capable Vessels: Demand shifting toward ≥100 m, 5 000 + ton capacity ships equipped for deeper waters and multi-functional tasks (trenching, inspection). Hybrid & “Green” Propulsion: Advanced CLVs integrate hybrid fuel-electric systems and emissions control tech—aligning with maritime decarbonization goals. Automation & Digitalization: Adoption of dynamic positioning, AI for route planning, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance are making operations more precise and efficient. Rise of Deepwater & Floating Projects: Growth in floating-wind farms (e.g., in Asia and Europe) is pushing demand for deepwater-capable CLVs and specialized dynamic cables.
