Power Generation Technologies Market Size

Power Generation Technologies Market Analysis

The power generation technologies market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.5% during the forecast period. The primary driver for the market includes the increasing demand for electricity and the various government's initiatives to boost renewable energy across the globe, in order to stabilize the growing carbon emission around the globe. However, shutting down coal power plants in various parts of the world, on account of its high carbon emission property is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

• With rapid expansion during 2015-2019, solar PV is expected to be the fastest-growing power generation technology during the forecast period.
• With an increasing population over the years, it is expected that the global population would reach around 9.8 billion, and about 7 billion people are expected to live in urban areas by 2050. An increase in urbanization is certain to increase the demand for power. Moreover, in-line with the Paris Agreement, countries around the globe are concentrating more on renewable technologies to meet the rising demand for power. For instance, China is expected to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy use to nearly 67% in 2050. In European Union, the share is expected to grow to 70% in 2050. Thus, an increase in demand for renewable technology is obvious to increase the demand for technologies such as solar PV, wind, hydro power over the years, which is expected to create an opportunity for the market to grow in the near future.
• With significant number of power generation plants, Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
