The global renewable energy market is expected to reach $2,152,903 million by 2025, representing a CAGR of 4.9% from 2017 to 2025, according to a new report by Allied Market Research.
The report, "Renewable Energy Market by Type and End User: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2014-2025," says renewable energy produced by hydro and ocean power accounted for more than two-thirds share of the global market in 2016.
Worldwide, the concept of using renewable energy as an alternative to conventional fossil fuel, such as gasoline and diesel, is growing rapidly. Renewable source of energy, such as solar, hydropower, biomass, wind, and geothermal, can provide sustainable energy services. Improvement in technology and the feasibility in using renewable sources to produce energy have been the key in successfully using renewable energy in resent time.
At present, the market is driven by increase in demand for energy across the world and decline in non-renewable source of energy such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas. In addition, it is fueled by the increase in awareness about environmental safety and security. Though, the high initial cost of investment for the infrastructural setup is a major restraint in renewable energy market. However, the continuous development of technology has led to the use of new technologies to extract energy from renewable source and increased government funding has paved the way for new opportunities for market growth.
KEY FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
Asia-Pacific and Europe collectively accounted for more than two-third of the global market share by revenue in 2016.
The major companies profiled in this report are GE Energy, CPFL Energia S.A., Terra Gen, Tata Power Solar, IHI Corporation, Alstom Hydro, China Hydroelectric Corporation, ABB Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, and Enel Green Power.
