Hydropower Market Landscape Analysis :
The global hydropower market is undergoing a period of notable expansion, driven by technological innovation and evolving energy policies aimed at supporting renewable integration. Although hydropower has been a key component of electricity generation for nearly 150 years, current efforts are focused on modernizing and optimizing the technology to meet the complex demands of today's energy systems.
Due to the significant upfront costs and extended development timelines, public-sector support continues to play a critical role in the advancement of hydropower projects. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global hydropower generation rose by nearly 70 terawatt-hours (TWh), reflecting an increase of close to 2%. This growth was largely fueled by strong capacity deployment between 2021 and 2022. Notably, new capacity additions reached 32 gigawatts (GW) in 2022-an impressive 40% jump compared to the average over the previous five years.
The Asia-Pacific region leads the global hydropower market, with countries like China and India spearheading growth. China remains the dominant force and is expected to retain this position through 2030, contributing an estimated 40% of the global capacity increase during the forecast period. Meanwhile, India is rapidly emerging as the second-largest growth market, positioning itself as a key player in the global hydropower landscape.
Hydropower Market: Shifting Industry Trends and Market Potential
Hydropower Growth Accelerated by Supportive Government Policies
The global hydropower market is gaining momentum, largely fueled by favorable government policies and financial incentives. Across various regions, national strategies are increasingly recognizing hydropower as a vital component of clean energy transitions.
In Europe, pumped storage hydropower has seen notable progress. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nearly 2 gigawatts (GW) of pumped storage capacity were brought online in 2022. Projects in countries like Switzerland and Portugal are specifically designed to improve grid flexibility and support the integration of intermittent renewable sources such as solar and wind.
In the United States, legislative initiatives such as the Inflation Reduction Act, enacted in August 2022, signal strong federal backing for hydropower. The Act expands and extends tax credits aimed at encouraging the development and modernization of hydropower infrastructure.
Globally, more than 30 countries have implemented policies that directly support both new and existing hydropower facilities. Governments are increasingly including both large-scale and small-scale hydropower in national renewable energy targets, strategic energy roadmaps, and incentive programs-placing it on equal footing with other variable renewable technologies.
This policy-driven momentum is positioning hydropower as a key enabler of energy stability and sustainability in the transition to low-carbon power systems.
