Offshore Support Vessels Market Insights
Global Offshore Support Vessels Market size was valued at USD 15.3 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 16.16 billion in 2024 to USD 24.98 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period (2025-2032).
Offshore support vessels are a type of maritime vessel that transports commodities, supplies, and equipment to and from undersea exploration and construction sites. Diving support, crane, and pipe laying vessels, seismic survey ships, and platform supply vessels are all examples of offshore support vessels (PSVs). These ships are generally used for locating and examining oil and gas-bearing areas, as well as hauling and positioning rigs and platforms and providing maintenance services. They have powerful small boats that respond to crises at offshore installations and also provide transportation, anchor management, and platform support, among other services.
One of the primary reasons driving the market's growth is the increase in oil and gas exploration activities. Furthermore, the growing demand for PSVs around the world is propelling the industry forward. PSVs are used to transport cement, casting and drilling pipes, and completion fluids during the production stage of offshore drilling. Another growth-inducing aspect is numerous technological improvements in the production processes of offshore support vessels and the integration of Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems in marine vessels. Manufacturers are focusing on creating computer-controlled vessels that can regulate their propellers and thrusters automatically to maintain a specific location.
US Offshore Support Vessels Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Offshore Support Vessels Market Analysis by water depth
Ultra deep water segment also recently came into existence as a result of technological advances. The segments almost equally contribute to the revenue of the market. Significant oil and gas presence in various countries' continental shelves, combined with the ongoing installation of fixed platform wind farms for sustainable power generation, is expected to drive demand in shallow water. The deepwater OSV industry is expected to grow over the forecast period due to increased output from multiple bulk capacity reservoirs at depths ranging from 305 to over 1,500 metres. Furthermore, the discovery of new reserves with significant production capacities over a long period of time is expected to positively impact this segment landscape. The increasing deployment of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units is driving up demand for anchoring and mooring services, as well as the regular transit of human workforces.
Offshore Support Vessels Market Analysis by End User
Because offshore winds blow more uniformly than land winds, the electricity generated by offshore wind farms is higher than that generated by onshore wind farms. Offshore support vessels help operators transfer turbines to offshore locations and act as a transportation solution for the offshore wind farm business. Offshore support vessels like Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS), Platform Support Vessel (PSV), and quick supply vessels can help in the erection, installation, and maintenance of these turbines, as well as the dismantling of offshore wind farms. These ships can also transport cargo from the mainland to offshore wind turbines. The need for AHTS and PSVs is increasing as these huge turbines are deployed in deeper seas.

Offshore Support Vessels Market Regional Insights
The North American region is dominating the market and expected to grow during the forecast period. Higher oil prices and lower drilling costs have resulted in a considerable increase in offshore oil and gas production in the North American region. In consequence, the region's strong offshore drilling activity is likely to be a major driver for the offshore support vessel industry. Shallow-water drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico has been declining due to lower production rates in the same fields where the operators operate and a lack of shallow-water discoveries in the recent picture.
China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand are among the key economies in Asia Pacific that are focusing on growing their offshore E&P CAPEX. CAPEX for new offshore developments in Asia Pacific is estimated to account for over 25% of worldwide spending, according to Scottish Development International, making the region a prominent player in the offshore sector. A number of nations in the region are prioritising new offshore activities in deep and ultra-deep waters.

Offshore Support Vessels Market Dynamics
Offshore Support Vessels Market Driver
Improvements in trade policies is shifting the market trend towards offshore support vessels market
- Across many regions, the policies related to less carbon emission have been strictly introduced. Also, ambitions of using clean energy installations are set by many organizations so as to ensure regulation on carbon discharges. The Government of UK also declared funds of around US$ 200 Million to invest in offshore wind manufacturing. This will continue to prosper the segment and drive its growth.
Rise in energy Demands is expected to drive the market growth
- The rise of the human population is one of the most important variables impacting global energy demand. According to the United Nations' World Population Prospects, the global population will grow from 7.6 billion to 9.8 billion in 2050. This increase in energy demand must be addressed by a variety of energy sources, including oil and gas, renewables, thermal, and nuclear power. The discovery of such deposits has resulted in an increase in demand for well drilling and production activities, which has aided the expansion of the offshore support vessel industry.
Offshore Support Vessels Market Restraint
- The price of oil plays a significant role in determining OSVS demand. The high cost of offshore installations has an impact on oil and gas firms' profitability. Offshore support vessel day rates are linked to unpredictable oil and gas prices, and ordering/launching new boats requires a significant capital investment. Changes in crude demand, as well as increased production from OPEC and non-OPEC countries, account for the cyclic nature of oil and gas prices.

Offshore Support Vessels Market Competitive Landscape
The Global Offshore Support Vessel Market is fairly concentrated, with a few big and medium-sized market participants accounting for a large portion of market revenue. Various industry players are focusing on introducing new vessel designs and structures to improve fleet integration across a wider range of applications. For instance, in August 2021, Pacific Hornbill, an Offshore platform supply vessel (PSV) from Swire Pacific, was deployed to support the existing construction activities on the Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore wind plan in Taiwan. Pacific Hornbill is one of four H Class assets in Swire Pacific Offshore's fleet and was built by Japan Marine United (JMU).

- In March 2021, Edda Wind awarded Ostensjo Rederi a contract for two additional commissioning service operation vessels (CSOV) in addition to the four vessels it is already building. These vessels are specifically intended for service operations at offshore wind farms during commissioning and operation. Each of the six vessels in development is powered by zero-emission technology.
Offshore Support Vessels Key Market Trends
- Offshore vessels used to transfer equipment, other commodities, and rig staff to offshore drilling and production platforms are known as platform supply vessels. A platform support vessel is a vital piece of equipment. Platform supply vessels, also known as Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs), assist in meeting the demands of development and maintenance projects.
- The rise in global oil and gas demand has encouraged companies to look for new petroleum sources, such as deepwater oil and gas exploration. Crude oil production from the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) Federal Offshore zone in the United States reached over 1700 thousand barrels per day. Such rising trends indicate that offshore petroleum extraction and related services are in high demand.
