Renewable energy refers to energy derived from natural sources such as the sun and wind, which are continually replenished. This type of energy is employed for various purposes, including space and water heating and cooling, electricity generation, and transportation. Renewable energy is associated with several benefits, including reduced global warming, enhanced public health, a virtually limitless energy supply, stable energy prices, reliability, and resilience.
The primary types of renewable energy include solar energy, wind energy, bioenergy, hydro energy, and geothermal energy. Solar energy harnesses sunlight to power homes, buildings, water heating, and solar lights. It is categorized by different capacities, such as 0-1,000 kWh, 1,100-5,000 kWh, and more than 5,000 kWh, catering to residential, commercial, industrial, utility, and other applications.
The renewable energy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides renewable energy market statistics, including the renewable energy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a renewable energy market share, detailed renewable energy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the renewable energy industry. This renewable energy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The renewable energy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1106.98 billion in 2024 to $1194.93 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong emerging markets growth, the rise in use of renewable energy compared to other energy sources, the growing investments in the renewable energy sources, and rapid industrialization.
The renewable energy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1735.29 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing electricity consumption, the rising urbanization, government initiatives, and the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on developing innovative technologies, launch of renewable energy platforms, blockchain technology, use of advanced robotics, product launches, partnerships and collaborations, and new investments.
An anticipated rise in power consumption is expected to fuel the growth of renewable energy. Global energy demand is increasing due to heightened industrial activity and technological advancements in both developing and developed nations. Furthermore, the growing world population contributes to a rapid surge in energy consumption, indicating rising energy needs. This increased power usage necessitates the production of renewable energy, which enhances energy security and mitigates the risk of fuel spills, as it emits no greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and helps reduce specific types of air pollution. For example, the International Energy Agency, a US-based intergovernmental organization, reported that total energy consumption in the United States rose by approximately 2.5% in 2023 compared to 2022. Thus, the growth in power consumption will drive the renewable energy market.
The growth of the renewable energy market is expected to be supported by the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. The increase in these emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), contributes to global warming. A report from the International Energy Agency in March 2023 highlights a 0.9% growth in global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2022, reaching over 36.8 billion tons. This surge in greenhouse gas emissions underscores the urgency of transitioning to renewable energy sources to curb environmental impacts, thereby fostering the growth of the renewable energy market.
A prominent trend in the renewable energy market is technological advancement. The sector is witnessing innovative developments such as bio-mass energy and dual-module solar systems aimed at minimizing environmental consequences and producing sustainable energy. Major companies in the market are investing in research and development to advance their technologies. For instance, Gautam Solar, an India-based solar panels manufacturer, launched the G-2X dual-generation monocrystalline technology solar modules in March 2022. These modules harness power from both the front and back, making them ideal for rooftop and ground-mounted solar power plants. The G-2X mono series achieves combined front and back efficiency of up to 25.72%, providing additional power generation of 10%-30% in the same available space.
Prominent players in the renewable energy market are prioritizing cutting-edge innovations to fortify their market standing. For instance, in September 2022, Serentica Renewables, an India-based company offering end-to-end energy management solutions, unveiled plans to introduce a Renewable Energy Platform in India. This eco-friendly energy company aims to deliver continuous carbon-free power to major energy consumers in India. Its focus lies in providing comprehensive green solutions, including seamless connectivity to the relevant transmission network.
In February 2022, Chevron Corporation, a US-based energy industry giant, completed the acquisition of Renewable Energy Group, Inc., for a substantial sum of $3.15 billion. This strategic acquisition bolsters REG's growing renewable fuel production and advanced feedstock capabilities, leveraging Chevron's extensive production, distribution, and commercial marketing expertise. Renewable Energy Group, Inc., is a biodiesel production company based in the United States.
