Concentrated Solar Power Market
Growth Factors of Concentrated Solar Power Market
The concentrated solar power market size was valued at USD 53.02 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 60.36 billion in 2024 to USD 212.25 billion in 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.02% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The COVID-19 crisis negatively impacts the concentrated solar power market growth, pausing the supply chains and the imports of raw materials. The markets were affected by labour constraints and lockdown. Several projects were put on hold indefinitely because of import dependency and mobility challenges. About 40% of solar equipment imports, particularly from China, came to a standstill as it received the first wave of COVID-19. This resulted in a situation where there were no new solar projects across the world.
The increase in the demand for sustainable energy sources and a decrease in carbon emissions have propelled renewable energy usage. CSP installations have remained at a lower level, about 1.3 GW in 2010, while in 2019, CSP installations have reached over 6 GW. The current market percentage of renewable energy in the total electricity produced is 29% with future improvements projected. More investment will be made in renewable resources to enhance the concentrated solar power market share. This trend is expected to continue in the subsequent years.
Moreover, the increased number of solar energy projects that have been developed has led to straining innovative solutions to enhance energy output. Technologies, including high-temperature salts, sCO2 and new receiver coatings are improving the overall efficiency. Solar energy production increased by 270 TWh (26%) in 2022 and outperformed all other renewable energy sources in growth, including wind energy. In less than a decade investment in creating photovoltaics has increased from USD 10.7 billion in 2004 to nearly USD 150 billion. The emerging materials for solar power have the potential to achieve better efficiency than the current silicon cells.
