Driving Factors

A variety of policy, economic, technological, and environmental factors are propelling the green energy market. Governments around the world are implementing mandates, subsidies, and carbon pricing schemes to hasten the energy transition. Renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage, are now cheaper than fossil fuels in many markets. Consumer preferences are becoming more aligned with sustainability, encouraging both individuals and businesses to adopt clean energy solutions. Rising electricity consumption, particularly in emerging economies, is driving demand for new, clean power plants. Furthermore, global supply chain disruptions, energy security concerns, and geopolitical instability are causing countries to diversify their energy portfolios and invest in domestic, renewable energy sources.

Restraining Factors

Despite its promising growth trajectory, the green energy market faces several challenges. High initial capital investment remains a barrier, particularly in infrastructure-intensive sectors such as offshore wind, advanced battery systems, and grid modernization. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are inherently unpredictable, necessitating significant investment in energy storage or hybrid systems to ensure reliability.

Market Segmentation

The green energy market share is classified into energy source and application.   

• The solar energy segment held the greatest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the energy source, the green energy market is divided into solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, biomass energy, and others. Among these, the solar energy segment held the greatest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is largely due to the declining cost of photovoltaic (PV) technology, favorable government incentives, and the global adoption of residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar installations. Solar energy is affordable, scalable, and relatively simple to implement, making it an attractive option for both developed and developing countries seeking to transition to cleaner energy sources.

• The electricity generation segment accounted for the majority of the share in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the projected timeframe.

Based on the application, the green energy market is divided into electricity generation, heating, transportation, industrial processes, and others. Among these, the electricity generation segment accounted for the majority of the share in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the projected timeframe. This segment's dominance stems from the growing global demand for clean and sustainable electricity to replace fossil fuel-based power sources. Countries around the world are investing heavily in renewable energy infrastructure, particularly solar, wind, and hydropower, to decarbonize their power grids and meet international climate targets.
