Hydropower Market 2022: Industry Demand, Insight

The hydropower market size is projected to reach USD 3.2 Billion by 2027 from an estimated USD 2.6 Billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 2.33% globally.

Hydropower is a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of moving water to produce electricity. Large-scale hydropower projects typically involve dams. Run-of-river and tidal projects also harness the power of moving water to generate renewable electricity. A hydropower dam converts the potential energy stored in a water reservoir behind a dam to mechanical energy—mechanical energy is also known as kinetic energy. As the water flows down through the dam its kinetic energy is used to turn a turbine. The generator converts the turbine’s mechanical energy into electricity. This electric energy then goes through various transmission processes before it reaches the consumer.

The global hydropower generation market is primarily driven by the growing demand for clean energy across the globe. Rapid industrialization and urbanization, especially in developing countries such as China and India, have led to a surge in demand for electricity. In order to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels for power generation and the initiatives launched by the government of various countries such as the U.S., Germany, India, Japan, and China to reduce their carbon footprint have led to a surge in demand for renewable energy sources for power generation. Owing to this, various hydropower generation projects have been established across the globe especially in Asia-Pacific to meet the growing renewable power demand.
