India’s floating dock systems market is gaining momentum due to rapid development in inland waterways and growing interest in river-based tourism. Government projects like the Sagarmala program, aimed at port modernization, provide a strong growth impetus. Increasing adoption of modular docks for houseboats and ferry terminals in states like Kerala and Goa reflects rising demand from both commercial and recreational sectors. However, challenges such as inconsistent regulations and limited technical expertise among local suppliers restrain faster adoption. Opportunities lie in leveraging floating docks for renewable energy installations and temporary event platforms on water bodies. A notable trend is the use of cost-effective HDPE floating docks in inland water transport systems, reducing maintenance costs compared to traditional structures. The Indian floating dock systems market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5%, the highest among the analyzed countries.
