Suction Bucket Jacket Market Report 2026

The suction bucket jacket market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.14 billion in 2025 to $1.27 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in offshore oil and gas exploration activities, rising demand for deepwater structural stability solutions, increasing investment in offshore wind energy projects, advancements in marine engineering and fabrication techniques, need for cost-effective offshore foundation installation methods.

The suction bucket jacket market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.99 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of global offshore wind energy capacity, increasing shift toward sustainable marine infrastructure, rising adoption of modular offshore foundation systems, advancement in automated offshore installation technologies, growing demand for reusable and low-impact seabed foundation solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of suction bucket jackets in offshore wind farm installations, rising preference for reusable and removable foundation systems, growth in deepwater offshore renewable energy projects, expansion of modular offshore foundation designs for faster installation, increasing use of hybrid foundation systems combining jackets and suction buckets.

The growing deployment of offshore wind energy installations is anticipated to drive the suction bucket jacket market in the coming period. Offshore wind energy installations involve installing wind turbines in marine settings to produce large-scale renewable power. The rise in offshore wind energy installations is driven by robust policy support and increasing investments in renewable energy capacity expansion. The suction bucket jacket supports offshore wind energy installations by offering efficient and stable foundation systems that reduce installation time and allow deployment in deeper water locations. The suction bucket jacket enables developers to scale offshore projects more rapidly and optimize construction costs in large wind farm developments. For instance, in June 2025, according to the Global Wind Energy Council, a Belgium-based international wind association, global offshore wind capacity reached 83 GW in 2024, compared with lower levels in previous years, with projections indicating substantial future expansion. Therefore, the rising offshore wind energy installations are driving the growth of the suction bucket jacket market.

Leading companies operating in the suction bucket jacket market are concentrating on the development of hammer-less suction bucket jacket foundation technology to reduce underwater disturbance, lower installation costs, and enhance environmental performance during deployment. Hammer-less suction bucket jacket technology refers to a foundation installation method that utilizes differential pressure to embed suction buckets into the seabed without traditional pile driving, enabling faster installation, reduced noise, and easier decommissioning. For example, in 2025, Ørsted, a Denmark-based renewable energy developer, completed the large-scale deployment of suction bucket jacket foundations for its Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan, with foundations supplied from HSG Sungdong. The installed jackets measured between 73 m and 85 m in height, weighed more than 2,000 metric tons, and featured footprints of up to approximately 38 m wide, demonstrating scalability, supply chain readiness, and reduced seabed impact. Furthermore, the success of this deployment is anticipated to accelerate the adoption of similar foundation systems in upcoming offshore wind projects globally, supporting faster and more sustainable expansion of energy infrastructure.

In December 2023, CS WIND, a South Korea-based manufacturer of wind turbine towers, foundations, and related offshore wind components, acquired Bladt Industries for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, CS WIND aims to expand its global offshore wind foundation portfolio and strengthen its manufacturing scale and technological capabilities in delivering transition pieces, foundations, and substations for large-scale offshore wind projects. Bladt Industries is a Denmark-based engineering and fabrication company specializing in the manufacturing of suction bucket jackets (SBJs) as advanced offshore wind foundations.
