The research report, titled "Floating Production Systems Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019", further states that the increase in the drilling activities in the subsea industry, coupled with deep-water discoveries in the Asia Pacific region as well as the Rest of the World, has fueled the global floating production systems market extensively in the recent times. However, the cost associated with installation as well as maintenance of these systems are likely to hamper the market growth, cites the market report.

The market study analyzes the global floating production systems market on the basis of products and their regional distribution. Floating storage and offloading (FSO), floating production storage and offloading (FPSO), single point anchoring reservoir (SPAR), and tension leg platform (TLP) are the major segments of the worldwide market for floating production systems. In 2012, the market for FPSO accounted for 63.80% of the overall revenue generated in the global market, acquiring the leading position.

Key companies functional in the global market for floating production systems such as Petrobras, Royal Dutch Shell, and ENI are utilizing FPSO systems to extract crude oil from offshore areas. On the other hand, the FSO market holds only a meager share of the overall market with minimal expectation for major improvement over the forecast period, reports the market study.

According to the research report, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World are the key regional markets for floating products. Among these, the Rest of the World market led the global floating production systems industry with the highest revenue contribution in 2012.Compared to other regions, the demand for floating production systems from the Rest of the World is the highest, specifically from Brazil from South Africa, states the research study.
