The clean and renewable energy market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.1 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to accelerating demand for clean energy in transportation, expansion of renewable powered desalination facilities, growth in renewable integrated heating and cooling systems, increasing deployment of hydrogen and ocean energy solutions, rising corporate commitments to renewable power sourcing. Major trends in the forecast period include growing expansion of renewable microgrid deployments, increasing adoption of hybrid renewable energy systems, rising investment in large scale renewable storage projects, growth of community based renewable energy initiatives, expansion of rural electrification using decentralized renewables.

Increasing investments in the energy sector are poised to drive the expansion of the clean and renewable energy market. These investments involve allocating financial resources towards activities related to energy production, distribution, and development, encompassing both renewable and traditional energy sources. The emphasis on clean and renewable energy investment is critical for combatting climate change and fostering a sustainable future by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting eco-friendly alternatives. For example, in May 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported a significant rise in global energy investment, reaching $1.74 trillion in 2023 compared to $1.61 trillion in 2022, with over USD 1.7 trillion allocated to clean energy initiatives. These initiatives span renewable power, nuclear energy, grids, storage, low-emission fuels, efficiency enhancements, end-use renewables, and electrification. Hence, the upsurge in energy sector investments is propelling the growth of the clean and renewable energy market.

Key players in the clean and renewable energy sector are intensifying their efforts to develop innovative products, such as solar panels and combiner boxes, to gain a competitive advantage. Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells, while combiner boxes consolidate and protect electrical connections from multiple solar panels. For instance, in February 2023, Green World Renewable Energy LLC, a US-based renewable energy company, introduced an innovative solar panel and combiner box system. This solution offers a reliable and efficient means of solar energy collection, presenting a sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional energy sources. The combiner box, an integral component of the system, optimizes electricity generation by integrating output from multiple panels into a unified stream. Through such innovative product development, major players aim to solidify their position in the competitive clean and renewable energy market.

In October 2023, TotalEnergies, a France-based multi-energy company, successfully acquired QUADRA Energy GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is anticipated to enhance TotalEnergies' integrated power business in Germany, bolster its trading capacity on the intraday markets, and broaden its marketing activities. QUADRA Energy GmbH, headquartered in Germany, is an electric utility company specializing in the aggregation of renewable electricity. The acquisition aligns with TotalEnergies' commitment to expanding its presence in the renewable energy sector and strengthening its position in the German energy market.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the clean and renewable energy market by raising the cost of imported solar modules, wind turbine components, batteries, and electronic control equipment. These impacts are most notable in regions heavily dependent on foreign renewable technologies, including parts of Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America, affecting solar energy, wind power, and renewable storage segments. While tariffs elevate project development costs and delay large scale installations, they also stimulate domestic manufacturing, strengthen regional supply chains, and encourage innovation in locally sourced renewable technologies.

Clean and renewable energy encompasses energy sources that are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and emit minimal to no greenhouse gases or harmful pollutants during electricity generation or other energy-related activities. These sources are typically naturally replenished and can be utilized repeatedly without depleting finite resources or causing significant environmental harm.

The primary types of clean and renewable energy include hydroelectric power, wind power, bioenergy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and others. Hydroelectric power involves generating electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing water, often from rivers or dams. These energy sources find applications in power generation, heating and cooling systems, transportation, rural electrification, desalination, and various other sectors, catering to residential, commercial, industrial, and other end-users.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the clean and renewable energy market in 2025.
