Global Floating Rigs Market is valued approximately USD 102 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 9.3% over the forecast period 2020-2027. Floating rig is a machine designed to drill exploration and development wells from mobile offshore. Reliant on the depth of water and the remoteness of the area, a distinct type of a rig is utilized. The rig can be a jackup which is up to 400 feet of water, drillship, or semi-submersible which is up to 12,000 feet of water. However, it requires a few months to assess the location. A floating rig also provide an option to provisionally store oil or natural gas until they brought to the shore for refining and marketing purpose. Rising demand for oil and natural gas, improved viability of Deepwater and ultra-Deepwater projects and price regulations of oil drive offshore exploration activities are the few factors responsible for high CAGR of the market over the forecast period. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), the global daily demand for crude oil is reached almost 100.6 million barrels in 2019, an increase from 96.2 million barrels in 2016. Similarly, as per the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPPA), the Export of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) by United States was 3.6 trillion cubic feet (tcf) in 2018 and is likely to reach more than 4 tcf by the year 2024. This, in turn, is expected to accelerate the demand for floating rigs, thus contributing to the growth of the global market. With the outbreak of Covid-19 around the world, the demand for oil & gas is significantly decline, followed by the overabundance in global oil markets that leads to an acute shortage of storage capacities. As a result, producers have to reduce the production by confining down their rigs and oil wells to avoid plunging into deeper financial complications thereby, the requirement of floating rigs will decrease in the recent year. However, high capital investments and environment concerns are also some factors limiting the market growth over the forecast period of 2020-2027.

The regional analysis of global Floating Rigs market is considered for the key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and Rest of the World. Latin America is the leading/significant region across the world in terms of market share owing to the high offshore potential reserves of oil and gas, along with the rising investment in exploration & production (E&P) CAPEX in the countries. Whereas, Rest of the World (ROW) is anticipated to exhibit highest growth rate / CAGR over the forecast period 2020-2027, due to the rising deep-water oil explorations activities in the region.
