Continuous depletion of non-renewable energy sources such as coal and petroleum, increase in demand for renewable energy, and long-term cost-effectiveness associated with use of renewable energy resources have propelled the growth of the industry. In addition, increase in awareness about environmental safety & sustainability and proactive government initiatives to promote adoption of renewable energy have augmented the growth of the market
Surge in demand
for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy coupled with steady
decline in costs of these resources would boost the growth of the global
market.
Continuous depletion of non-renewable energy sources such as coal and petroleum, increase in demand for renewable energy, and long-term cost-effectiveness associated with use of renewable energy resources have propelled the growth of the industry. In addition, increase in awareness about environmental safety & sustainability and proactive government initiatives to promote adoption of renewable energy have augmented the growth of the market. On the other hand, high costs associated with initial infrastructural setup would impede the market growth. However, increase in government funding and measures to promote technological developments in this sector is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market in the future.
Hydro & ocean power to dominate, solar energy to grow rapidly
The hydro & ocean power segment contributed nearly 63% of the total market share in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance by the end of 2025. However, the solar energy segment would register the fastest CAGR of 13.4% from 2017 to 2025.
Industries & others segment accounted 44% of share in 2017
The industries & others segment accounted for nearly 44% of the total market share in 2017 and would remain dominant through 2025. In terms of growth rate, the commercial end user segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.
Europe to spearhead the global market by 2025
Geographically, the report divides the global renewable energy market into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East and Africa (LAMEA). The Asia-Pacific region contributed nearly two-fifths share of the total market in 2017. However, Europe is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 6.2% from 2017 to 2025, owing to supportive government initiatives to promote the use of renewable energy resources.
