Global Concentrated Solar Power Market Overview
The key driver impacting the concentrated solar power market is the environmental concerns over carbon emissions and efforts to decrease air pollution by governments worldwide. Moreover, strict government policy to bring under control the mounting carbon footprint and monetary benefits offered to augment the adoption of alternative energy sources contribute to market growth in the forecast period. Whereas with regards to volume,the market was calculated XX MW in 2022 and foreseen to grow with a CAGR of XX% during 2023-2030.
According to Value Market Research, the global Concentrated solar power (CSP) market size was valued at around USD 15.66 million in 2030 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 11.5% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.
The rising number and growing investments in concentrated solar power projects worldwide are estimated to augment concentrated solar power demand in the forecast period. For instance, In February 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) declared around $125.5 million in new funding to progress solar technology research. About $5 million funds are allocated for 15-20 projects that move ahead innovative and novel ideas in PV and CSP that can produce significant results within the first year of performance. Similarly, The CIF (Climate Investment Funds) a global leader in driving funding in CSP. Around $945 million from the CIF's Clean Technology Fund (CTF) is likely to attract an additional $8.4 billion in co-financing. This is sustaining early private and public sector CSP projects in South Africa, Chile, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The anticipated generation capacity is 1.2 GW, or over one-fourth of the present (2015) global CSP capacity. However, higher cost of generation than other renewable technologies market in the long run. Also, the Technical complexities of the CSP plant are negatively impacting the market. The current industry trends, such as incorporating CSP in hybrid power plants and growing usage of CSP in desalination, and improved oil recovery processes, are expected to provide market players with new market opportunities.

In this research report, the concentrated solar power market is segmented by application, technology, and region.
Analysis by Application:
By applications, the report is categorized into utility, EOR, desalination, and others. The utility sector dominates the application segment with over 60% share in 2020. It is due to the favorable government initiatives and regulations on increasing the adoption of renewable energy sources. Moreover, Various financial and economic benefits, including Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) and tax credits, presented by the government authorities considerable savings on electricity bills drive the market demand from the utility sector in the forecast period.
Analysis by Technology:
By technology, the report is categorized into a parabolic trough, linear fresnel, dish, power tower. The parabolic trough dominates the technology segment with over 80% share in 2020. It is due to the high penetration of the design, along with easy installation and convention. Moreover, it is the most common technology used for the solar field. These reflectors track the Sun across the sky for utmost efficiency and contribute to the high demand for parabolic trough technology in the forecast period.
Analysis by Region:
In the regional outlook of the global concentrated solar power market, the Asia Pacific region dominates globally with a 40% market share during the forecast period. It is due to the upsurge in installations of concentrated solar power plants, and rising investments in concentrated solar power projects for alleviating grid locations, and favorable government initiatives and policies by the governments in India, China, Thailand, and Malaysia. Moreover, the growing need to produce constant renewable power energy to hold increasing fiscal activities contributes to its growth across the Asia Pacific.
