The floating hotels market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.52 billion in 2023 to $4.89 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as novelty and uniqueness, the expansion of tourism, urban development, event hosting, and considerations related to the environment.
The floating hotels market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.43 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the demand for experiential travel, the growth of the luxury and high-end market, the rise in coastal and island tourism, the prevalence of remote work and stay trends, and infrastructure development. Notable trends expected in the forecast period include an emphasis on sustainability, increased technological integration, focus on modularity and adaptability, offerings related to health and wellness, and a commitment to cultural immersion.
The anticipated surge in the demand for cruise tourism is set to drive the growth of the floating hotels market. Cruise tourism, involving leisure travel on cruise ships, has embraced the concept of floating hotels, providing extended stay accommodations, expedition base camps, and event venues. Notably, in May 2023, Tourism Review Media reported that Turkey witnessed 1,500 cruise ships and over 1.5 million passengers in 2023, with an expected increase to 2.3 million cruise passengers in 2024. This increasing demand for cruise tourism is a significant catalyst for the growth of the floating hotels market.
The rising number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) is poised to contribute to the expansion of the floating hotel market. High-net-worth individuals, characterized by substantial financial wealth, seek exclusive and premium travel experiences. Floating hotels, with their unique and luxurious accommodation offerings, align with the preferences of HNWIs. A report by Knight Frank in May 2023 highlighted a substantial growth projection in India's ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) and billionaire population over the next five years. The report forecasts a 58.4% increase in UHNWI individuals from 12,069 in 2022 to 19,119 in 2027. Additionally, India's billionaire population is expected to grow from 161 individuals in 2022 to 195 individuals in 2027, supporting the growth of the floating hotel market.
An emerging trend in the floating hotels market is the adoption of solar-powered floating hotels. These hotels are entirely powered by solar energy and float on the water's surface, representing a sustainable and environmentally friendly option. Major players in the market are investing in innovative solar-powered hotels to maintain their market positions. For example, Mantis Collection introduced the Kivu Queen uBuranga in 2021, a solar-powered, motorized yacht floating hotel equipped with advanced waste management and heating systems, offering a sustainable option for travelers.
Strategic partnerships have become a key focus for major companies in the floating hotel market to sustain their positions. Collaborative agreements or alliances, such as the partnership between Meyer Floating Solutions and Arctic Bay Holding announced in April 2023, aim to achieve mutually beneficial goals. This partnership envisions the development of an extraordinary luxury floating hotel concept in the Arctic, providing guests with unparalleled experiences and breathtaking views. The planned hotel will feature world-class amenities, including a spa, two restaurants, and special igloo suites with glass roofs for a unique Arctic experience.
In December 2021, Hotel Polo Towers Group acquired Floatel.
