Global Geothermal Power Market Size Study & Forecast, by Technology (Binary Cycle Plant, Dry Steam Plant) and Application (Power Generation, Residential Heating & Cooling) and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

Description

The Global Geothermal Power Market is valued at approximately USD 7.84 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a steady CAGR of 6.00% during the forecast period of 2025-2035, with historical data evaluated for 2023 and 2024 and 2024 serving as the base year for estimation. Geothermal power harnesses heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to generate reliable, low-emission energy, positioning it as a cornerstone technology in the global clean energy transition. Unlike intermittent renewable sources, geothermal systems deliver baseload power, which allows utilities and governments to plan long-term energy security strategies while progressively phasing out carbon-intensive generation assets. As decarbonization commitments tighten worldwide, geothermal energy is increasingly being looked upon not merely as an alternative resource, but as a strategic infrastructure investment.

Market expansion is being carried forward by intensifying policy support for renewable energy diversification, rising electricity demand, and the need to stabilize power grids with consistent, non-weather-dependent generation. Governments are rolling out incentive programs, drilling subsidies, and public-private partnerships to scale geothermal projects, while technological refinements are pushing down exploration and development risks. Enhanced geothermal systems, improved drilling techniques, and smarter reservoir management are collectively reshaping project economics. However, high upfront capital costs and geological uncertainties continue to temper adoption in certain regions, even as long-term operational savings and environmental advantages strengthen the business case through the forecast period of 2025-2035.

Among the available technologies, binary cycle plants are expected to dominate the Global Geothermal Power Market over the forecast horizon. Their ability to operate efficiently at lower and medium temperature resources significantly broadens the range of exploitable geothermal reservoirs, particularly in regions where high-temperature steam fields are scarce. Binary systems also benefit from closed-loop designs that minimize environmental impact and water loss, making them more acceptable under increasingly stringent environmental regulations. While dry steam plants retain relevance in select geographies with naturally occurring steam resources, binary cycle technology is steadily being scaled up as the preferred solution for new project development.

From a revenue standpoint, power generation applications currently lead the market, accounting for the largest share of global geothermal investments. Utility-scale geothermal plants continue to attract long-term capital due to predictable output, extended asset lifespans, and favorable power purchase agreements. At the same time, residential heating and cooling applications are gaining ground as urban planners and policymakers integrate geothermal heat pumps into sustainable building initiatives. Although smaller in revenue contribution today, this segment is being positioned as a high-growth avenue driven by rising energy efficiency standards and consumer demand for low-carbon heating solutions.

Regionally, North America commands a leading position in the Global Geothermal Power Market, supported by abundant geothermal resources, mature project development expertise, and long-standing investments in renewable infrastructure. The United States, in particular, continues to anchor regional growth through large-scale geothermal installations and sustained R&D activity. Europe follows closely, propelled by aggressive climate targets and expanding district heating networks. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, as countries such as Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines accelerate geothermal deployment to meet surging electricity demand while reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports. Meanwhile, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are emerging as promising frontiers, backed by untapped geothermal potential and growing government interest.
