The global floating power plant market is projected to record a 10.74% CAGR during the forecast period, 2023-2028. Surging demand for clean energy and government investments in the energy industry are driving the global market growth.
Floating power plants are power generation facilities situated on floating platforms on bodies of water, serving as primary or emergency energy sources for specific locations. These plants utilize both renewable (for instance, solar, wind) and non-renewable (for instance, diesel, liquefied natural gas, thermal, nuclear) energy sources. A key advantage of floating power plants is their relocatable nature, making them an ideal temporary solution to address local power shortages.
As corporations increasingly adopt renewable energy sources like solar and wind for power generation, the market landscape has evolved significantly. Driven by the growing demand for clean energy and numerous benefits compared to land-based power plants, the floating power plant market in the region is anticipated to continue its expansion during the forecast period.
The global floating power plant market is divided into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of World. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to dominate the market due to several development projects and the presence of multiple global players and emerging companies. These factors are expected to propel the market during the forecast period.
In the current developmental stage, the competitive landscape is characterized by a moderate threat of rivalry, with a limited number of small-scale players. These companies strive to gain an edge by offering products with similar attributes, prices, or functionalities at more competitive rates.
Some of the major market players include: BW Ideol, General Electric, Wartsila Corporation, Karpowership, etc.
