Global Renewable Energy Market to Reach $2 Trillion by 2029

"Accelerating the Shift to Renewable Energy: A Smart, Sustainable Investment for a Cleaner Planet and a Stronger Economy Amid the Global Climate Crisis"

BOSTON, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest study from BCC Research, the "Renewable Energy: Technologies and Global Markets" is projected to increase from $1.3 trillion in 2024 to $2.0 trillion by the end of 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2024 through 2029.

This report analyzes the global market for renewable energy technologies, presenting data on the market's size in terms of both monetary value and energy capacity. It examines the technological, competitive, and economic trends that are shaping the industry. The report focuses on major renewable energy sources, including hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, ocean energy, and bioenergy. It segments the market by technology, application, and region, with insights into the market in 19 countries across five regions. Additionally, it features profiles of 15 leading companies in the sector. While the primary focus is on power generation, the report also briefly addresses other applications such as heating and lighting.

Certain renewable energy sources, like ocean energy and bioenergy, are still in the early stages of development, with only a few facilities operating worldwide and limited energy output. More research is needed to overcome the challenges of scaling them up. While they cannot reduce emissions on their own, they can still play a valuable role in helping limit global warming to 2°C or below.

The factors driving the market's growth include:

Renewable Energy's Race to Cost Reduction: The cost of solar, wind, and battery storage has dropped significantly due to advanced technology, mass production, and supportive policies. This makes renewable energy more affordable and competitive with fossil fuels, encouraging wider adoption globally.

Rising Industrial Demand: Industries are increasingly switching to renewable energy to meet sustainability goals, reduce emissions, and avoid the volatility of fossil fuel prices. Many large companies are signing long-term deals to power their operations with clean energy.

Growth of Green Hydrogen: Green hydrogen, made using renewable electricity, is gaining momentum as a clean fuel for industries like steel, transport, and chemicals. Governments and companies are investing in this sector, seeing it as a path to deep decarbonization.
