Notable Industry Updates
On Nov. 14, 2022, Mocean Energy (Scotland), a leading wave energy converter provider, announced that it has secured a patent for its floating hinged raft wave energy technology in China. Mocean Energy designs and delivers wave energy converters required in ocean equipment and the grid with clean, carbon-free, renewable energy. Mocean Energy’s hinged raft wave energy converters cause a rotation about the hinge to convert wave energy to electricity via a power take-off (PTO) system.
Europe, the Largest Market for Wave Energy Converters
Europe holds the key share in the global wave energy converter market. The growing share of renewable energy sources in power generation capacities is a key driving force behind the market growth. Also, the rapid growth in wave technology initiatives and a substantial number of wave energy companies in this region boost the market size. The Europe Marine Energy Center is at the heart of major wave technology initiatives.
Moreover, governments of most European countries are taking up many initiatives to leverage the biggest untapped ocean energy sources that they believe could meet up to 10% of the region’s overall electricity needs by 2050. The continuous energy production at onshore and offshore remote locations drives the market demand. Growing government initiatives to boost renewable energy production support market growth.
The UK dominates the wave energy converter market in the region, with the largest number of wave energy deployments. The UK Government is also actively considering introducing a ring-fenced market support mechanism for marine energy to position the country top among the wave and tidal sectors worldwide. Also, growing innovations in offshore wave technology propel market growth.

North America is another lucrative market for wave energy converters in terms of larger market shares. Numerous wave energy projects and a shift from oil & gas could lead the region to witness higher market growth. Governments are collaborating with numerous research groups and industry experts in wave energy to realize the potential of marine renewable energy.
Besides, the increasing pressure to boost power generation through renewable energy sources, such as ocean and wind technologies, is a key factor driving the demand for converters in North America. With its major investments in renewable energy research & developments, the US is the leader in the wave energy converter market. At the same time, Latin America demonstrates a strong upward trajectory due to the growing awareness of the benefits of renewable sources.
According to the US Energy Information Administration, the US coastline is projected to reach 2.64 trillion kWh of wave energy production, which is the most dependable renewable energy source. The yearly wave energy potential of Coastal towns is about 40% of the overall wave energy generation in the US.
The APAC wave energy converter market is also expected to grow at a moderate rate, witnessing significant investments in renewable energy. The rise in robust capacity additions, especially in China and India, defines the growing market landscape. China has the largest number of wave energy generation plants due to exploding growth in new installed capacity.
With the total energy consumption passing the capacity for onshore wind energy farms, the region may shift to offshore/ ocean wave energy farms, suggesting the need for larger investments. Additionally, growing innovation and technological advancement in wave energy plant construction would propel the market growth.
