Wave Energy Market by Types (Wave, Tidal), Technologies (Oscillating body converters, Oscillating water column, and Overtopping converters), Applications (Environmental protection, Power Generation, and Water Desalination), Locations (Onshore, Near shore, and Offshore), and Regions, (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028
The global wave energy market was valued at USD 43.8 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 141.1 million by the year 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 17.8% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. Wave energy, ocean energy or sea wave energy is the energy harnessed from ocean or sea waves. Waves are a result of blowing winds on water surfaces. Energy is transferred from wind to the waves. With immense advancements in technology, the wave energy offers the security of power supply and electricity to all the countries using this method. Projects and constructions of the wave energy sector are in the development stage, which require a boost in investments, government spending, and R&D.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:
- Offshore wind energy projects achievable for all players, due to increase in investments, R&D, government schemes, activities, and regulations, are estimated to drive the market growth.
- Climate change has fueled the demand for protection of the environment. Conventional power systems use fossil fuels, which experience fluctuating prices and lead to pollution. Enhancements in offshore wind energy technology uses a renewable source of energy to generate power and replace the conventional systems. Hence, it is anticipated to favor market growth.
- Increase in capital cost for installation and maintenance are factors, which hamper the growth of the market. Additionally, the pandemic has restricted the growth of the market, due to shutting down of operations, plants, and constructions of on-going projects at the seas and oceans. Another restraining factor is the incapability to accomplish grid parity. It increases commercialization and generates substantial return on investments.

Market Segment Insights:
Tidal energy to penetrate the global wave energy market
Based on types, the global wave energy market can be divided into wave energy and tidal energy. Tidal energy is estimated to emerge as a dominant segment over the forecast period, owing to increase in research and development of barrages.
Oscillating body converters to drive the market growth
In terms of technologies, the market can be segmented into oscillating body converters, oscillating water columns, and overtopping converters. Properties such as high functioning efficiency, small size, and consistency are anticipated to drive the growth of the oscillating body converters segment. Oscillating water columns, where electricity is produced by oscillation of the waves in a chamber, are estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period, as they are eco-friendly.
Global wave energy market to witness growth of power generation segment
On the basis of applications, the market is divided into environmental protection, power generation, and water desalination. High growth in the power generation segment is estimated, which is attributed to its use of renewable sources of energy that limit the emission of greenhouse gases. The water desalination segment is projected to grow, due to increase in the demand for clean and fresh water.
Near shore segment to witness a high CAGR
Based on locations, the market can be segregated into onshore, near shore, and offshore. The near shore segment is anticipated to continue to grow, due to the ease and low cost of installation, high operational efficiency, dual use of application (power generation and desalination) at the same time, and increase in the number of patents to harness energy.
Europe to lead the global wave energy market
In terms of regions, the market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The preferences of power generation methods are shifting towards wave energy methods in Canada and the US, which is estimated to drive the market growth in North America.
In Europe, countries such as the UK, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Spain are expected to witness major R&D investments and construction of wave energy companies, which increases the demand for wave energy. The market in Asia Pacific is estimated to grow significantly, as countries such as China, India, and South Korea are estimated to surge their market share, due to economic growth, availability of resources, and favorable conditions at seas and oceans.
