Renewable Energy Market Expands as Solar, Wind, and Hydropower Lead the Way

The global renewable energy market size was valued at USD 1.48 billion in 2024 and is expected to surge around USD 7.28 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 17.23%. The Asia Pacific renewable energy market size surpassed USD 600 million in 2025 and is expanding at a CAGR of 17.26% during the forecast period.

Renewable energy sources such as wind, hydropower, solar, geothermal, and bioenergy are gaining traction worldwide. Currently, they contribute to approximately 7% of the global energy demand, a figure expected to rise considerably in the near future. The growing awareness of the environmental damage caused by fossil fuels, along with increased government support for clean energy initiatives, is driving the shift toward greener alternatives.


Additionally, public and private sector efforts to reduce carbon emissions and the rising consumer adoption of sustainable energy solutions are key factors propelling market growth. Moreover, rapid industrialization and urbanization in developing nations are anticipated to further boost the demand for renewable sources like solar and geothermal energy throughout the forecast period.

Types of Renewable Energy Sources





  • Solar Energy - Harnessed from the sun using solar panels or thermal collectors.




  • Wind Energy - Generated by converting wind movement into electricity using wind turbines.




  • Hydropower - Produced by moving water, typically from rivers or dams, turning turbines to generate electricity.




  • Biomass - Comes from organic materials (like wood, crop waste, and animal manure) that can be burned or converted into biofuels.




  • Geothermal Energy - Uses heat from the Earth's core to produce steam and generate electricity or provide direct heating.




Role of AI in Renewable Energy


AI plays a crucial role in optimizing renewable energy systems by forecasting energy production and demand, improving grid stability, and enabling smart energy management. It enhances efficiency through predictive maintenance of solar panels and wind turbines, and supports smart grids by balancing loads and managing energy storage. AI helps make renewable energy more reliable, cost-effective, and scalable for future energy needs.




  • In July 2024, Orennia Inc launched Ion_AI. Ion_AI is an AI-based platform designed to help in analyzing the trends of renewable energy such as solar, wind and some others in different parts of the world.
