China Solar Energy Market Outlook 2031
The China Solar Energy Market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 15% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing government policies including financial subsidies and incentives. China being the largest manufacturer, installer and exporter of solar panels provides lucrative opportunities for solar energy market.
In 2020, approximately 261.1 terawatt hours of electricity had been generated from solar power in China. Solar energy refers to the radiant heat and light from the Sun that is harnessed by means of a wide range of advanced and evolving technologies such as PV, solar heating, solar architecture, solar thermal energy, molten-salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.
The power generation industry in china includes PV power generation, which uses solar cells to directly convert solar energy into electric energy and CSP.
The COVID-19 pandemic had an unpleasant impact on the China solar energy. The new installed capacity of solar energy will eventually decline, and the growth of solar power generation will slow down. The market suffered significant loss; however, the government’s steps and strategies have helped to neutralize the situation. This pandemic has encouraged the key players to implement advance technologies to overcome these challenges and expand the market growth.
China Solar Energy Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising environmental consciousness, increasing domestic demand, and notable government policies and assistance are projected to boost the market expansion of China solar energy during the forecast period.
- Increasing investments for solar power generation is likely to spur the market growth. For instances, USD 86.5 billion was invested in 2017 to add 53 GW of PV power, China is projected to generate cumulative solar power generation of 530 DW by 2025.
- Declining price of solar PV plays a key role in expanding the market in near future
- China divulges subsidy-free projects for new wind and solar policies. The policy was implemented to take advantage of a rapid fall in construction costs and promote environment consciousness
- Scarcity of land to develop more solar panels is likely to impede the market during the forecast period.
- R&D investment and technological advancement in China solar energy market are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market players.
