Hydropower Plants Market to be Worth $318.3 Billion by 2032

Hydropower Plants Market by Component (Solutions [Electromechanical and Hydraulic Equipment, Electric Infrastructure, Civil Infrastructure], Services), Capacity, Type, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2032

Meticulous Research^®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘Hydropower Plants Market by Component (Solutions [Electromechanical and Hydraulic Equipment, Electric Infrastructure, Civil Infrastructure], Services), Capacity, Type, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2032.’

According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research^®, the global hydropower plants market is projected to reach $318.3 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 3% from 2025 to 2032. The growth of this market is driven by the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, rising government support for hydropower generation projects, and growing demand for micro hydropower plants due to the low maintenance and easy replacement. However, the high initial cost of construction may restrain the market’s growth.

The increasing utilization of the kinetic energy of the flowing water for electricity generation and small hydropower projects are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for the stakeholders in the hydropower plant market. Furthermore, international conflicts over water management and uncertainty regarding climate change’s impact on local hydrological conditions are expected to pose challenges to the growth of the hydropower plant market.

The global hydropower plants market is segmented by component (solutions [electromechanical and hydraulic equipment {turbines {reaction turbines, impulse turbines}, generators, control and protection systems, inlet valves and regulators, transformers, testing systems, suction nozzles, condensers and switchgears, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic, actuators, valves, and pumps, hydraulic and electromechanical drives, and other electromechanical equipment (circuit breakers, electrohydraulic governors, propeller pitch systems), electric infrastructure, civil infrastructure (reservoirs, artificial dams, pressure tunnels, surge tanks, valve houses, penstocks, powerhouses, and other civil infrastructures {draft tubes and bays})], services[plant assessment, design, and development services, extensions, upgrades, and retrofits services, and operation and maintenance services]), capacity (small hydropower plants [up to 1MW], medium hydropower plants [1MW-10MW], large hydropower plants [above 10MW]), type (impoundment powerplants, diversion powerplants [run-of-river], and pumped storage powerplants). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

Based on component, the global hydropower plants market is segmented into solutions and services. In 2025, the solutions segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global hydropower plants market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the surge in demand for turbine and power generator solutions for efficient power generation, increasing demand for hydropower generators to ensure enhanced performance for site conditions and customer needs, increasing implementations of predictive maintenance solutions for hydropower plants, and increasing deployments of plant control and protection systems. Additionally, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on capacity, the global hydropower plants market is segmented into small hydropower plants (up to 1MW), medium hydropower plants (1MW-10MW), and large hydropower plants (above 10MW). In 2025, the small hydropower plants segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global hydropower plants market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the use of small hydropower plants for rural electrification, government investments in small hydropower projects, increasing implementations of small hydropower plants in developing economies, reduction in renewable energy costs, and the decrease in infrastructure costs. Additionally, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on type, the global hydropower plants market is segmented into impoundment powerplants, diversion powerplants (run-of-river), and pumped storage powerplants. In 2025, the impoundment powerplants segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global hydropower plants market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing demand for large hydropower systems and the rising need to meet changing electricity needs or other needs, such as flood control, recreation, fish passage, and other environmental and water quality needs. Impoundment plants create areas for recreational activities with a reservoir in place, and people can use these for swimming, boating, water sports, and fishing. This is also improving the demand for impoundment plants, in turn supporting the large market share of this segment. However, the pumped storage segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on geography, the global hydropower plants market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2025, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the global hydropower plants market. The large share of this market is attributed to the minimum cost of production of renewable energy sources and the rapid reduction in the total cost of infrastructure. Setting up micro and mini hydropower stations across the region has also proved to be a major opportunity for the growth of the hydropower plant market. The increasing investments made by the key market players for the generation of electricity and supplying the rural areas, growing demand for reliable electricity, increasing investments for renewable and small hydropower projects in response to climate change and growing number of small hydropower projects in China, Japan, and India are major factors supporting the growth of the hydropower plant market in Asia-Pacific. Additionally, this region is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
