Floating Rig by Type (Jackup, Semi-Submersibles, Drillships, World Floating Rig Production ), by Application (Shallow Water, Deepwater, Ultra-Deepwater, World Floating Rig Production ), by North America (United States, Canada, Mexico), by South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), by Europe (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Benelux, Nordics, Rest of Europe), by Middle East & Africa (Turkey, Israel, GCC, North Africa, South Africa, Rest of Middle East & Africa), by Asia Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, ASEAN, Oceania, Rest of Asia Pacific) Forecast 2025-2033
The global floating rig market size was valued at USD 10.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 18.1 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2025-2033). The growing demand for offshore oil and gas exploration and production activities, particularly in deepwater and ultra-deepwater areas, is a key driver of the market. The increasing adoption of floating rigs, such as jackups, semi-submersibles, and drillships, for safe and efficient drilling operations in harsh marine environments further fuels market expansion.
Regional analysis reveals that North America holds a significant share in the floating rig market, primarily due to the presence of major oil and gas producing regions such as the Gulf of Mexico. Asia Pacific is also expected to witness substantial growth due to increasing exploration and production activities in countries like China, India, and Indonesia. The Middle East & Africa region is projected to offer lucrative growth opportunities, driven by the expansion of offshore oil and gas projects in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea regions.
The global floating rig market is expected to grow from USD 60 billion in 2021 to USD 75 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.5%. This growth is attributed to the rising demand for offshore oil and gas exploration and production, coupled with the technological advancements in floating rig designs.
