The solar power towers segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment of the concentrating solar power market, by technology, from 2020 to 2025. The solar power tower segment is getting a boost due to the the higher temperatures that can allow higher efficiency of the steam cycle and decrease water consumption for cooling the condenser. The higher temperature uses thermal energy storage for achieving schedulable power generation. Thus, increasing adoption of solar power towers due to reduction in cost or allowing greater storage for the same price is expected to drive the solar power tower segment at the highest pace during the forecast period.

The utilities segment of the concentrating solar power market, by end user, is estimated to grow at a faster rate from 2020 to 2025. The growth of the utilities segment of the market is driven by key CSP project developments in Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa regions, mainly in China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Morocco. In addition, the demand for concentrating solar power from the utility sector is driven by the need to generate renewable electricity with storage technology to cater to the increasing power needs of the residential sector.

The with storage segment of the concentrating solar power market, by operation type, is estimated to grow at a faster rate from 2020 to 2025. The need to generate power even during nights and to provide continuous supply of electricity due to therma energy storage is driving the operation segment of concentrating solar power market.

The concentrating solar power market has been segmented, by region, into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa and South America. The Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the fastest rate, from 2020 to 2025, followed by Middle East & Africa and North America.However, at present Middle East & Africa is the largest market. Countries such as China, India and Australia are the fastest-growing markets in the Asia Pacific region, owing to the increase in installations of CSP plants. China is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025. This is mainly due to the increasing investment in CSP for stabilizing power grid is driving this country. In addition, the region focuses on the need to generate continuous renewable electricity to support growing economic activities will drive the concentrating solar power market in Asia Pacific region.

Recent Developments
  • In May 2020,Abengoa formed a consortium with Acciona to build the Cerro Dominador solar thermal plant owned by EIG Global Energy Partners. The consortium has led the melting process of 46,000 tons of salts from the Chilean Atacama Desert having a capacity of 110 MW..
  • In December 2019, BrightSource Energy developed a solar-cured coating for DEWA Tower CSP. The coating was designed for longer service lifetime and higher absorptance than the standard Pyromark coating and to help reduce O&M costs..
  • In October 2018, ACWA Power expanded by developing a storage technology that enabled utility-scale renewable energy production in Africa. The integration of CSP with thermal storage helps to solve the issues of electricity as the region suffers from energy problems.
