小規模・分散型水力発電システムへのシフト
The Global Hydropower Generation Market was valued at USD 431.8 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 621.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. Rising global demand for clean and renewable energy is positioning hydropower as a key solution for reducing carbon emissions and achieving long-term climate goals. As a mature, low-emission technology, hydropower delivers stable and reliable electricity, making it a vital part of the global energy mix. Government policies, including subsidies and regulatory frameworks, are playing a crucial role in accelerating hydropower adoption worldwide. Pumped storage hydropower systems are also gaining prominence for their role in grid stability, especially in regions with high solar and wind energy penetration. Retrofitting older infrastructure with modern turbines and control systems is helping enhance efficiency and reduce costs. Market expansion is particularly strong in Asia-Pacific, with countries like China and India leading developments, and further momentum is being observed across Southeast Asia and Africa due to growing industrialization and energy demand. Despite challenges related to capital intensity and environmental concerns, hydropower continues to gain traction as a dependable and scalable renewable energy source.

Key Market Drivers
Increasing Global Demand for Renewable Energy
The shift toward sustainable energy solutions is a primary driver of growth in the hydropower generation market. Hydropower, known for its low carbon footprint and reliability, is increasingly being adopted as nations work to meet climate goals and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Many governments are integrating hydropower into national strategies to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century. For instance, Spain's Endesa, a subsidiary of Enel, recently acquired 626 MW of hydro assets from Acciona Energia, underlining the growing investment in the sector. Beyond emissions reduction, hydropower plays a crucial role in ensuring grid stability, especially as countries expand wind and solar power generation. It serves as a backup energy source and helps smooth out the intermittency of other renewables. Rapid industrialization and urbanization in emerging economies further amplify the need for reliable electricity, boosting hydropower demand. In Germany, the state of Bavaria has announced plans to acquire over 85 hydropower plants from Uniper by 2030 to reinforce local control over energy infrastructure, emphasizing hydropower's strategic importance in national energy security.
Key Market Challenges
High Capital Investment and Long Project Timelines
A major obstacle in the hydropower generation market is the high upfront cost associated with building new facilities. Developing a hydropower project involves large-scale infrastructure investments in dams, reservoirs, turbines, and electrical systems, often running into billions of dollars. These projects also face long development timelines due to the complexity of construction and the need for thorough environmental and regulatory approvals. In many cases, the extended duration before achieving return on investment discourages private investors and poses financing challenges, especially in countries with constrained budgets or limited access to capital markets. Additionally, hydropower projects are vulnerable to fluctuations in material costs and shifts in political or economic conditions, which can delay or derail progress. Even in developed nations, these financial and regulatory barriers slow new project launches and limit expansion opportunities. As a result, while hydropower is highly beneficial in the long term, its capital intensity and slow ROI remain persistent challenges that hinder faster adoption, particularly in developing regions.
Key Market Trends
Shift Toward Small-Scale and Decentralized Hydropower Systems
A key trend gaining momentum in the hydropower generation market is the adoption of small-scale and decentralized systems. Unlike traditional large hydropower plants, small-scale solutions are more affordable, quicker to implement, and environmentally less intrusive. These systems are especially valuable in remote or off-grid areas, providing a practical option for clean energy generation without the extensive infrastructure required for large dams. Micro- and mini-hydropower systems are increasingly used to power villages, agricultural operations, and small industries. Their scalability and cost-efficiency make them an ideal choice for developing economies focused on rural electrification and energy access. Countries in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Southeast Asia are actively exploring these solutions to meet growing energy needs while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Technological advancements have improved the efficiency and affordability of small hydropower systems, helping position them as a sustainable alternative within the renewable energy portfolio. As governments and international organizations continue to promote energy access in underserved regions, the trend toward decentralized hydropower is expected to strengthen significantly.
