The power electronics for renewable energy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.13 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stringent regulations and policies, aiming to reduce carbon emissions, transition to sustainable energy solutions, rising government incentives for renewable energy, growing popularity of renewable energy sources, and growing demand for sophisticated power conversion and control systems. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in power semiconductor devices, deployment of renewable energy technologies, Improvements in power electronics technology, technological developments in power electronics, and combining energy storage systems with integration.
The growing adoption of renewable energy sources is expected to drive the expansion of the power electronics for renewable energy market. Renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, are naturally replenishing resources used for sustainable power generation. This increased adoption is influenced by concerns about the environment and climate change, the accessibility and availability of renewable energy, demographic trends, and the need for energy security and independence. Power electronics play a crucial role in renewable energy systems by efficiently converting and controlling electrical power from sources such as solar panels and wind turbines, ensuring optimal energy transmission and integration into the grid. For example, in June 2024, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, a UK governmental department, reported that renewable electricity contributed to 50.9% of the UK's total generation, producing 39.2 TWh in the first quarter of 2024, a 3.7% increase from the same period in 2023. This increase was driven by a 7.4% rise in onshore wind generation due to higher wind speeds. Consequently, the growing adoption of renewable energy sources is boosting the power electronics for renewable energy market.
Key players in the power electronics for renewable energy market are focusing on developing advanced high-power modules for large power converters to enhance energy efficiency, improve system reliability, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources into the electrical grid.
