Every analysis of the cable-lay requirements for the offshore wind market highlights the vast size of the market. This is creating demand for cable manufacturers, cable-lay vessel owners, and for companies that develop and supply cable-lay trenchers and burial equipment. This demand growth has led to the introduction into service of newbuild cable-lay vessels, with more on order. Prysmian has a new vessel coming. Subsea cable demand is forecast to grow at a 17% compound annual growth rate, totalling 46,470 km over the period 2018-2022. This represents 71% growth compared to the 2013-2017 period.
