Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels are used in offshore oil and gas fields to receive hydrocarbons from subsea oil reservoirs and process them into oil, gas and water. These vessels store processed crude oil or natural gas until it is offloaded to a shuttle tanker or transported through an export pipeline to refineries. They have pumps, generators, storage tanks, control rooms and accommodation facilities, which help to extract and refine oil and gas in remote areas at low prices. As compared to conventional offshore oil and gas platforms, FPSO vessels are more flexible, versatile, safe, time-efficient and offer high storage capacity.
FPSO vessels do not require expensive subsea oil pipelines to export oil and can be moved to another location when an existing oilfield is depleted. Consequently, they are gaining preference in frontier regions wherein local pipeline infrastructure is not available and smaller oil and gas fields exhaust in a few years. They are also considered suitable for unfavorable environmental conditions as they comprise detachable turret systems that can be released during an emergency and reattached to continue operations. These factors, in confluence with the rising demand for energy, are acting as major growth-inducing factors bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the declining onshore oil exploration activities, along with the growing focus on deep-water oil extraction in remote locations, are contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the integration of advanced technologies and digitization of FSPO vessels are anticipated to drive the market further in the coming years.

The global floating production storage and offloading market was valued at USD 22.8 Billion in 2024.
We expect the global floating production storage and offloading market to exhibit a CAGR of 5.14% during 2025-2033.
The rising number of offshore exploration activities, along with the growing requirement for integrated compact systems in offshore reservoirs to withstand extreme conditions, is primarily driving the global floating production storage and offloading market.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations, resulting in the temporary closure of the end-use industries for floating production storage and offloading.
Based on the vessel type, the global floating production storage and offloading market can be segmented into converted and redeployed and new-build. Currently, converted and redeployed holds the majority of the global market share.
Based on the design, the global floating production storage and offloading market has been divided into spread mooring FPSO vessels, single point mooring FPSO vessels, and dynamic positioning FPSO vessels. Among these, spread mooring FPSO vessels currently exhibit a clear dominance in the market.
Based on the propulsion type, the global floating production storage and offloading market can be categorized into self-propelled and towed, where self-propelled accounts for the largest market share.
Based on the hull type, the global floating production storage and offloading market has been segregated into single hull and double hull. Currently, double hull exhibits a clear dominance in the market.
Based on the application, the global floating production storage and offloading market can be bifurcated into shallow water, deepwater, and ultra-deep water. Among these, shallow water holds the majority of the total market share.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where North America currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global floating production storage and offloading market include Bumi Armada Berhad (Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd), Bluewater Energy Services B.V.
