Market Insight:

The global floating power plant market was valued more than USD 1320 million in 2022 and is expected to reach about USD 2770 million in 2030, with a CAGR of around 10% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

A floating power plant is a site with one or more nuclear reactors, placed on a platform at sea. It is an independent site that can provide electricity and heat to areas with difficult gain access, such as the cold Northern territories. The desalination technique can provide drinking water to dry areas. The main advantage of floating PV plants is that they do not occupy land, except for the limited surfaces necessary for electric cabinet and grid connections. Floating power plants are referred to as power generation which is present on an existing cargo ship, also can be connected to the national grid, and can go overseas whenever required. These floating plants are considered an alternative to land-based power plants as they can fulfill the ever-increasing demand for power mainly in rural and remote areas.

The growing demand for green energy drives the growth of the market. Floating power plants are majorly used as a source of decentralized and flexible power generation for factors that include, cost efficiency and speed of construction. The rapidly increasing environmental concerns fuel the growth of the market. The elimination of risks of land acquisition is another driving factor of the floating power plant market. Floating power plant plays a crucial role in electricity generation in remote areas where power generation is restricted due to scarcity of land mass and can be used as an emergency electric power source. The cost requires for the deployment of floating plants hamper the growth of the market. The resources need to be transported to remote places which further increases the overall cost of transportation, thereby restraining the growth of this market. At the same time the development of overall floating wind farms and ongoing research & development activities commercially are anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the market.

The global floating power plant market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and the Rest of the World. Asia Pacific accounted for the dominant expansion at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. This expansion is attributable to two factors such as the absence of adequate power infrastructure. The widespread use of renewable energy sources for power generation in developing nations like China and India. Major market players have been drawn to the area as a result of the growing number of possible projects for FPPs based on renewable energy. However, it is projected that the higher installation and maintenance expenses of these plants at sea may partially hamper the industry's expansion. North America is also expected to have prominent growth over the forecast period owing to the implementation of strict regulatory reforms focusing on cleaner power generation initiatives. The U.S. and Canada are the major revenue contributors as these countries are emphasizing developing cleaner fuel LNG-based power ships, which, in turn, supports industry growth.
