Waves are formed by wind moving across the surface of the ocean. A large amount of energy is stored in waves. In addition, Tidal energy is energy produced by the tides of the ocean. Tidal energy uses gravitational pull of Earth, moon and sun to produce energy where as a wave energy uses kinetic forces of waves to generate electricity and tidal energy works via a turbine works like a wind turbine, with blades rotating 12-to-18 times a minute depending on tide strength. The turbine is connected to a gearbox that turns a generator, creating electricity.
Rise in urbanization and infrastructural development across the globe led to increase in the demand of electricity which led to increase the demand of Wave and Tidal Energy system and may act as the major driving factor for the market. In addition, Wave and Tidal Energy system is highly used in water engineering application which may create ample of opportunities for the market.
The global Wave and Tidal Energy market is segmented on the basis of Type, Technology, Application, Application and region. Depending on Type, the market is categorized into wave energy and tidal energy. On the basis of Technology, it is divided into Tidal stream generator, Oscillating Water Columns, Tidal turbines, tidal barrages and tidal fences.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL WAVE AND TIDAL ENERGY MARKET
The COVID-19 pandemic has curtailed the movement of people, goods and technologies worldwide, including in most regions where production of wave and tidal energy system is on large scale. As part of intensifying efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, a number of local, state and national governments have imposed various restrictions on the conduct of business and travel, such as stay-at-home orders and quarantines that have led to a significant number of business slowdowns and closures. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in a substantial curtailment of business activities (including the decrease in demand for a broad variety of goods and technologies), weakened economic conditions, supply chain disruptions, significant economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial and commodity markets, including the reduction in global demand for oil and gas combined with excessive supply, due to disagreements between OPEC, both in the U.S. and abroad. However, disruption in such above-mentioned activities led to decrease in demand for wave and tidal energy system and thus, negatively impacted the whole market.
The manufacturing of wave and tidal energy system equipment was stopped for a specific period due to high peak of COVID-19 situation, which led to high impact on sales of wave and tidal energy system.

Executive Summary
The global Wave and tidal energy market industry was valued at $0.5 billion in 2020, and global Wave and tidal energy market forecast projected to reach $1.3 billion by 2030, with global Wave and tidal energy market forecast expected at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2021 to 2030.Wave energy is defined as the energy of the ocean surface waves, which is captured for electricity generation, desalination, and the pumping of water into reservoirs. Wave and tidal energy are considered to be the most promising green technologies as they generate the most concentrated source of renewable energy. Oceans are an inexhaustible source of clean energy. Therefore, harnessing tidal and wave energy from the ocean surfaces is expected to be the most sustainable source of energy. Wave and tidal energy are the sustainable methods of harnessing energy of oceans for power generation. Countries across the world tend to utilize these forms of renewable energy as these provide a constant and steady source of clean energy. Abundance of ocean surface and energy generation capacity in several nations has promoted governments to pursue ocean energy generation as an important source of their renewable energy in future. In addition, tidal energy works via a turbine works like a wind turbine, with blades rotating 12-to-18 times a minute depending on tide strength. The turbine is connected to a gearbox that turns a generator, creating electricity. Moreover, Wave-driven power is a type of power generation related to tidal power. Rather than relying on the tidal movements in large bodies of water, wave energy is derived from wind-driven waves. It can be used to generate electricity.
rising dependency on electricity led to increase the sustainable power generation and wave & tidal energy is one of the sustainable power generation processes, however, government sustainable projects with respect to power generation may act as the major driving factor for the market.

However, disruption in such above-mentioned activities led to decrease in demand for wave and tidal energy system and thus, negatively impacted the whole market.
- The manufacturing of wave and tidal energy system equipment was stopped for a specific period due to high peak of COVID-19 situation, which led to high impact on sales of wave and tidal energy system.
- COVID-19 impacted almost all industries by hindering various industrial technologies and disrupting the supply chain. Maximum companies halted their technology due to less workforce. However, there is a sluggish decline in the global wave and tidal energy market due to IMPACT OF COVID-19.
According to the UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization), 30.0%-70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce of various industries, such as electrical and other third-party vendors migrated to their hometowns, due to uncertainties and loss of income during lockdown. This unavailability or less availability of workforce is expected to directly affect the production and manufacturing activities, thereby resulting in decline in demand for raw materials used in wave and tidal energy system. This is expected to decline the growth of the market during the forecast period.
