Market Growth Factors

Consumers and industry adopt renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. These fuels emit greenhouse gases. These gases are harmful to the environment. Climate change awareness, energy security needs and global treaties for combatting climate change are factors. These factors are driving this adoption. Over 140 countries pledge to reach net-zero emissions between the 2030s and 2070s, so support increases for renewable energy to generate energy and for energy to be used. This created enormous demand for renewable energy as a sustainable power source. Renewable energy is becoming adopted by governments, corporations and green consumers because it is abundant, sustainable, low-cost over the long term and a low carbon energy source.

Multiple renewable energy technologies have been introduced for example solar photovoltaic, offshore wind, floating solar photovoltaic, green hydrogen, and energy storage technologies. These technologies need energy and adopt renewable energy in various geographies and demographics. Of late, they have also received strong government support worldwide through tax incentives, feed-in tariffs, renewable portfolio standards, or direct subsidies. For example, according to the European Union's REPowerEU plan, more than 600 GW of solar and 510 GW of wind exist by 2030, and the United States Inflation Reduction Act provides more than $370 billion of tax credits for clean energy.

Renewable energy impacts the environment to a lesser degree than fossil fuel energy because it needs no fuel mining or burning, does not emit where it is used and makes much less carbon dioxide equivalent during its life. This is meeting a consumer and corporate demand for renewable energy, and a growth in renewable technologies such as perovskite solar cells, high-efficiency offshore wind turbines, floating solar farms and long-duration energy storage at both grid and distributed generation scales. Innovations in grid integration, smart grid technologies and storage have made renewable energy more reliable, and thus more attractive to power system operators.

Greater deployment of renewables for energy security and cost reduction is also driving demand. In 2025, solar PV and wind are projected to make up 95% of global renewable capacity additions and renewables are becoming increasingly competitive with fossil fuel sources in terms of cost. The expansion in corporate sustainability mandates (ESG) and renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) has been driven by major technology firms, automotive companies and industrial sectors alike committing to renewable energy generation portfolios. The common adoption of renewable energy in the power sector, climate awareness via social media and corporate sustainability commitments have all supported the inclusion of clean energy in national energy plans. Success stories about renewable energy are frequently shared by the renewable energy industry and climate advocacy organizations to further adoption and investment.
