Global Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Market is valued approximately USD 19.5 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6% over the forecast period 2020-2026. A floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) is a type of floating vessel that is primarily utilized by the offshore oil & gas industry for manufacturing and processing of hydrocarbons, and also for the storing oil. An FPSO vessel is mainly designed to get hydrocarbons manufactured by itself or from nearby subsea template or platform, process them, and store oil up to it can be unloaded into a tanker or, less often, transported via pipeline. A FPSOs are mostly preferred in frontier offshore provinces as they are quite easier to install, and do not need a local pipeline transportation to export oil. These vessels can be a transformation of an oil tanker or can be a vessel developed specially for the application. A vessel is used only for storing oil (without processing it) is known as a floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel. Growing demand for oil & gas around the world, rising focus on offshore production & exploration activities, and increasing advancement in subsea technologies are the few factors responsible for high CAGR of the market over the forecast period. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), the daily demand for crude oil around the world is expected to reach to almost 100.6 million barrels to 2019 from 96.2 million barrels in 2016. Similarly, as per the Independent Petroleum Association of America, the United States Export of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) was 3.6 trillion cubic feet (tcf) in 2018 and is expected to reach over 4 tcf till 2024. This, in turn, is expected to accelerate the growth of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) market around the world. With the Covid-19 crisis globally, there is shortage in demand of oil & gas followed by the overabundance in global oil markets leading to an acute scarcity of available storage capacities. As a result, the manufacturers may require reducing the production by locking down their rigs and oil wells to prevent plunging into deeper financial problems thereby, the requirement of floating production storage and offloading will decrease in the recent year. However, high initial cost of developing FPSOs, along with volatile prices of oil & gas are always being consider as the major restraining factors to the market growth over the forecast period of 2020-2026.
The regional analysis of global Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) market is considered for the key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Rest of the World. North America is the leading/significant region across the world in terms of market share owing to rise in demand for offshore oil & gas production, coupled with increasing investments to support energy infrastructure growth in the region. Whereas, South America and East Africa is anticipated to exhibit highest growth rate / CAGR over the forecast period 2020-2026, due to the rapid growth in oil & gas reserves, aided with favorable government support to oil & gas industry located in the region.
