Hydropower Market Report by Size (Large Hydropower (Greater Than 100 MW), Small Hydropower (Smaller Than 10 MW), and Others), Application (Industrial, Residential, Commercial), and Region 2025-2033
Description
The global hydropower market size reached 1.5 TW in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 1.7 TW by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.25% during 2025-2033.
Hydropower refers to the electrical energy generated by converting kinetic energy from water bodies, such as rivers, waterfalls and oceans. Various turbine-based power stations are positioned on the riverbed through which electricity is produced using a generator. Hydropower operates through dams with seasonal storage or through pumped-storage reversible plants that can be used for both the generation and transmission of energy. Run-of-river, storage, pumped-storage, and offshore hydropower are the most commonly used hydropower technologies. These technologies are environment-friendly and emit minimal greenhouse gas (GHG) during the generation of power.
Hydropower Market Trends:
The growing demand for sustainable sources of energy, along with rapid industrialization across the globe, is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. In comparison to the energy produced from the traditional coal and petroleum-based power plants, hydropower is more reliable, cleaner and cost-effective. Furthermore, widespread adoption of small hydropower (SHP) plants is also providing a boost to the market growth as these plants are highly flexible and adaptable to dynamic geographical and infrastructural circumstances, especially in areas with poor grid connectivity. Various technological advancements, such as integration with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, are also acting as another growth-inducing factor. The integration facilitates the utilization of smart sensors that can provide continuous and high-rate stream data to enhance the operational efficiency by continuously monitoring the levels of energy generated by the plant. Other factors, including the rising global population impacting the energy demands and the implementation of favorable government policies promoting the usage of renewable sources of energy, are projected to drive the market further.
