Executive Summary
According to the report titled 'Geothermal Power Market by Power Station Type and End-use Industry: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019-2026,' the global geothermal power market was valued at $4.6 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $6.8 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2019 to 2026. The geothermal power market growth is driven by rise in investment in renewable energy projects in the region. Moreover, significant increase in energy demand due to rapid industrialization and rise in population in countries such as China and India are expected to boost the market growth.Geothermal power plants utilize steam to produce energy. The steam is generated from reservoirs of hot water found below the earth's surface. In the process of energy generation, the steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator to produce energy. With growing demand for energy, it is expected that the requirement of geothermal power generation will increase notably.
The industrial sectors are expected to consume more energy during the forecast period attributed to rise in use of geothermal power plants in the industrial sector. Furthermore, India possesses significant growth potential due to increase in investments in renewable energy projects in India. Thus, India is one of the major countries experiencing rapid growth in the Asia-Pacific geothermal power market. For instance, in March 2019, Eversource Capital, a Joint venture between Everstone and Lightsource, planned to invest $1 billion in renewable energy in India through its Green Growth Equity Fund. These investments and developments will increase the acceptability of geothermal power in the renewable energy market. Thus, increase in investments and developments in renewable energy project is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the growth of the geothermal power market.
The global geothermal power market is segmented on the basis of power station type, end use, and region. By power station type, the market is divided into dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations, and binary cycle power stations. The binary cycle power stations segment was the highest contributor and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.
