Offshore wind finds itself in a "make or break" period up to 2015, by when the industry will either have positioned itself for sustained build-out, or rapidly decline as a non-competitive technology. European offshore wind markets are maturing with emerging markets including China, South Korea and the US expected to hit new growth levels over the next decade. However, despite political will and the growing need for new power generation, offshore wind remains plagued by a host of challenges related to supply chain, transmission, technology and cost. This Analyst Briefing provides an up-to-date assessment of the challenges offshore wind is facing, and gives an inside look into what should happen to enable offshore wind to develop at the levels IHS EER forecasts. Key questions addressed in this webcast include: What are the supply chain, transmission, technology and cost challenges facing the offshore industry and how will they be overcome? How fast will Europe offshore markets grow? Which emerging markets will hit new growth levels? Who will be the offshore market leaders going forward? This webcast was based on key findings from our recent Market Study - Global Offshore Wind Energy Markets and Strategies: 2012-2025. To access to this study please contact eersales@ihs.com
