Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The need for alternative power solutions is notably driving the floating power plant market growth, although factors such as high project costs may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the floating power plant market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Floating Power Plant Market Driver
The need for alternative power solutions is one of the major drivers impacting the floating power plant market growth. Generally, electric power is supplied over a grid network, with power being generated from a central location. However, in an event where a power plant fails or when a power plant is unable to meet the entire load, it can affect the functioning of critical facilities, such as hospitals, schools, and businesses. In such cases, floating power plants are used to supply power to the affected area, district, or a specific facility that requires electricity. Floating power plants are installed on existing barges that can be towed to a particular location or on power ships that have a propulsion system. Hence, remote islands or coastal areas that may not be connected to the power grid on the mainland can be provided with electricity from mobile floating power plants. Countries in Africa and islands such as Indonesia and Japan are often prone to power shortages or unreliable power due to insufficient power generation and the challenges of building a centralized power network. In such areas, floating power plants are used to supply power. Certain key developments are taking place in the global floating power plant market.
Key Floating Power Plant Market Trend
The development of floating offshore wind energy is one of the major trends influencing the floating power plant market growth. In the past 15 years, offshore wind power generation has grown from a novel technology to one of the most competitive alternative power generation sources, helping in fighting climate change. One of the drawbacks of offshore wind is the high capital requirement. The depth of the water and seabed conditions determine the size of the wind turbine and the type of foundation that needs to be installed and constructed. This, in turn, influences the CAPEX for offshore wind projects. Deep-sea areas provide greater potential for generating higher-capacity wind. The high cost issue can be overcome by using floating wind energy, wherein the structure is held by suction anchors. Floating offshore wind power has moved from the R&D stage to mainstream applications, and, like onshore wind, the cost is expected to reduce. In addition to these factors, the ability of floating wind plants to tap areas with higher wind speeds is expected to result in the development of more floating wind farms. All these factors are positively influencing the growth of the global floating power plant market.
Key Floating Power Plant Market Challenge
High project cost is one of the major challenges impeding the floating power plant market growth. There is a wide range of devices available for harnessing energy from water flow. However, most are in the demonstration stage. Hence, there is much uncertainty involved in these projects, which increases their lifecycle costs. However, as technologies and designs improve, more meaningful lifecycle costs can be drawn, and the components of the systems could become economically viable. At present, ocean power is still in the demonstration phase. Most of the technologies used to harness ocean power are not yet developed when compared with other renewable technologies. Hence, the cost of generating electricity from ocean power is also high. Although tidal and ocean wave energies provide viable and predictable power, they have to overcome barriers such as high investment costs and sourcing economically attractive financing.
