Floating Power Plant Market Geographical Analysis
Asia Pacific Floating Power Plant Market Size and Forecast 2024 to 2033
The Asia Pacific floating power plant market size is estimated to grow from USD 585.53 million in 2024 to USD 1,172.58 million by 2033, with a CAGR of 8.02% from 2024 to 2033. The global floating power plant market size was valued at USD 1,420 million in 2023.
Hydroelectric Dams are Promoting Asia Pacific’s Market
Asia Pacific dominated the floating power plant market in 2023. In the Asia-Pacific region, where land is limited, but hydroelectric dams are widely distributed and connected to the electrical grid, the technology is especially well suited. Japan constructed the first floating solar plant in history. Currently, 73 of the 100 largest floating solar plants in the world are located in the nation's inland lakes and reservoirs.
Nearly 78,000 megawatts (MW), or enough to power 21,000 households, are produced by a floating solar facility in East China. 35,000 households might be powered by the 102.5 MW delivered by a South Korean facility. The island state of Singapore has built a solar farm in the Strait of Johor with 13,000 FPV panels.
The farm can generate up to 5 MW of energy, which is enough to power 1,400 residential apartments year-round. It is projected that a project at Thailand's Sirindhorn Dam will contribute to a reduction of 0.546 tons of carbon emissions for every 1,000 kWh produced.
The year 2022 saw the construction of a floating solar power plant at Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is reportedly the biggest floating solar plant in the world and is expected to produce 600 megawatts of electricity by 2022–2023. It is projected that the project will cost more than ₹3000 crores. Coal usage of 1,65,000 tons annually and CO2 emissions of 2,10,000 tons annually can be saved with the new FPP.
Strong Emphasis on Renewable Energy Drives the European Market
Europe held the second-largest share of the floating power plant market in 2023. The region's strong emphasis on renewable energy and cutting-edge technology breakthroughs is driving the market's enormous growth. The United Kingdom is leading the way in the adoption of floating solar and wind power systems, as are other nations with long coasts. The market for floating power plants in Europe is mostly driven by regulatory frameworks and government assistance.
In order to promote renewable energy sources and lower carbon emissions, the European Union has set aggressive climate goals. Floating power plants are among the renewable energy projects that are encouraged by national and EU policies and subsidies.
The government announced its British Energy Security Strategy in April 2022, with the goal of installing up to 50 gigawatts of offshore wind power in the UK by 2030, of which up to 5 gigawatts will come from floating wind. 11 floating offshore wind projects totaling £60 million were announced in January 2022 as part of the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio.
The government launched the Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme (FLOWMIS) in March 2023 to assist vital port infrastructure that makes it possible to deliver floating offshore wind. Up to £160 million is available through this award program.
- The French government will spend EUR 1 billion on renewable energy innovation initiatives as part of the France 2030 national investment plan. The ultimate goal is to reach 100 GW of installed renewable power capacity by 2050, a tenfold increase. Of this installed capacity, 40 GW will come from offshore wind farms. In order to transform the ports of Sète and Port-la-Nouvelle into centers for the construction, logistics, and maintenance of two offshore floating wind farms, the region is investing €340 million in their renovation.
- The Occitania area is receiving a €150 million loan from the European Investment Bank, which is owned by the 27 EU member states, to renovate the ports of Sète and Port-la-Nouvelle. With loans of €85 million to Eolmed and €75 million to Les Éoliennes Flottantes, the EIB also backs the two experimental floating wind farms.

Floating Power Plant Market Segmentation
By Power Source Type:
The non-renewable segment held the largest floating power plant market share in 2023. Non-renewable energy resources have several advantages that make them dominant. Non-renewable FPPs have a strong presence because of their inherent advantages and well-established nature. Non-renewable sources have high power density, which makes them the main source of energy. The renewable segment is estimated to grow at a remarkable rate during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the segment’s growth are sustainability and the depletion of non-renewable energy sources. Stakeholders are focusing on developing more and more renewable FPPs to replace non-renewable sources.
By Power Rating Type:
The high-power FPP segment dominated the floating power plant market in 2023. High-power FPP is preferred because energy is needed on a large scale to fulfill the growing demand in the commercial and housing sectors. With growing demand in the future, more and more high-power FPPs are going to be developed. The medium-power FPP segment is estimated to grow at the fastest rate during the predicted timeframe. Medium-power FPP requires less initial cost for building and can be used to provide energy during shortages. These FPPS can also be used to relocate to underdeveloped areas or islands.
