The global floating power plant market size is expected to reach USD 3.24 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 14.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Favorable regulatory policies focusing on reducing the dependence on fossil fuels for electricity generation along with proliferating demand for stand-alone power generation systems across several end-use markets are anticipated to strengthen the market growth over the forecast period.
The market is primarily driven by the lack of power infrastructure on land in developing economies, such as China and India. Massive power demand from several industries, such as manufacturing and construction, healthcare, data centers, agriculture, and others, has led to increased demand for distributed power generation sources, such as floating power plants (FPPs). The plant provides grid stabilization for various kinds of renewable energy and is expected to strengthen the security of power systems in these countries.
Floating power plants offer several benefits including provision of secure power supply during natural disasters, such as floods or earthquakes, fast electricity supply to regions with limited power infrastructure, no requirement for a large site, and easy relocation due to high mobility. These advantages are expected to boost the FPP demand despite the high installation and maintenance costs of the plants.
Industry participants are practicing local manufacturing of floating power plant equipment to offer local employment, optimize logistics cost, and minimize emissions. Moreover, operators are prone to minimum project investment risk owing to the high mobility, versatility, and adaptability of the floating power plants. These trends are anticipated to positively influence industry growth over the forecast period.
