Oerlikon Key Markets

As global demand for energy increases due to improved infrastructure, economic development and a growing population, more and more solutions will be required to fill the need for power.

Global oil supply remained steady amid output changes from OPEC’s largest contributor, Saudi Arabia, but supported by increased oil exploration in the U.S. and Canada. According to the BP Energy Outlook 2018, the makeup of total energy is predicted to shift as oil and coal use decreases and renewables make up over 20 % of total power generation by 2040. The fundamental drivers such as emerging policies, expanding investor interest and advancing technologies are supporting this growth for renewables. Oerlikon offers solutions to meet the needs of the ever-changing energy landscape.
