Global Small Hydropower for Infrastructure Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Small Hydropower for Infrastructure market size was valued at US$ 1679 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 2092 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.3% during review period.

Small hydropower for infrastructure is usually referred to as small hydropower, which refers to hydropower stations with small installed capacity and mainly powered by turbine generator sets. Although there is no consistent definition of small hydropower and the demarcation of capacity range in various countries around the world, small hydropower is generally regarded as an important part of clean renewable energy. Compared with large hydropower stations, it is smaller in scale but indispensable.

Small hydropower does not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operation, has little negative impact on the environment, and can even bring positive ecological effects in some cases, such as protecting forest vegetation and preventing soil erosion. Small hydropower stations can adapt to a variety of terrain and climatic conditions, especially in remote mountainous areas and rural areas, where small hydropower has become an important energy supply method. The construction cost of small hydropower stations is relatively low, the technology is mature, the operation and maintenance of the units are simple, and the equipment is easy to standardize, which is conducive to reducing the cost and shortening the construction period. Small hydropower is an important livelihood water conservancy infrastructure in my country, and has played an important role in ensuring economic and social development and improving the quality of life of the people, especially in solving the problem of electricity use for rural populations and helping farmers get rid of poverty and become rich.

With the country's high attention to the small hydropower industry and policy support, as well as the increasing global demand for clean and renewable energy, the small hydropower industry will usher in new development opportunities. Through scientific planning and rational development, small hydropower can play a greater role in ensuring energy security, promoting economic development, and protecting the ecological environment.

Due to the agglomeration effect of towns and cities, the rural population has decreased, resulting in the scattered distribution of small hydropower stations, which has increased the difficulty of safety supervision. Some power stations have been in operation for many years, but the equipment and facilities are not well maintained, and technical transformation has not been carried out in time, which poses certain safety hazards. The small hydropower groups in the basin lack efficient technical support in operation and dispatching, resulting in low water resource utilization. Many old power stations have low automation levels, poor plant appearance, and are not coordinated with the surrounding environment, which cannot meet the needs of beautiful rural construction.

The development of small hydropower for infrastructure (small hydropower) is jointly affected by a variety of factors, including both obstacles and driving factors.

The continuous growth of global energy demand has provided a broad space for the development of renewable energy such as small hydropower. The application of intelligent monitoring systems, efficient turbine equipment and ecological flow monitoring technology has significantly improved the operating efficiency and environmental protection level of small hydropower. The central and local governments encourage the development of small hydropower through policy measures such as fiscal subsidies, tax incentives and green financial instruments. Factors such as increased demand for renewable energy, reduced costs and policy support have jointly promoted the rapid development of the small hydropower station market.
