The Europe offshore support vessels market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.10% between 2025 and 2034. The market is being fuelled by the growing demand for oil and gas in the region.
As the UK government is expected to boost its reliance on the North Sea for extracting oil and natural gas, the Europe offshore support vessels market growth is expected to receive a positive impact. The diversification of the UK's energy mix is expected to lead to a higher demand for oil anchor handling tug vessels, multipurpose support vessels, and platform supply vessels which can assist the oil extraction and distribution processes.
The rising demand for essential minerals such as zinc, cobalt, and copper is expected to drive major European companies towards exploring deep sea beds in the Arctic Ocean for mineral extraction. This is expected to drive the Europe offshore support vessels market expansion over the forecast period. For instance, countries such as Norway are implementing strategies for clean energy transition by deliberating deep sea mining of essential minerals, which can be utilised in improving electric vehicle batteries and other technologies.
Given the increasing demand for energy across the region, oil and gas are still expected to remain a major source of fulfilling the energy requirements, thereby influencing the Europe offshore support vessels market expansion favourably.
