Tidal energy accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2021
The tidal energy segment accounted for a major part of the market revenue share, in 2021, and is likely to maintain its position throughout the forecast period. A rapid increase in awareness towards green energy and growing stringent government rules and regulations on the emission of greenhouse gases are major factors propelling the growth of the segment market at a significant growth rate. Tidal energy is an alternative for the generation of energy from fossil fuels without harming the environment which is compelling companies to seek these types of pollution-free energy generation methods and fostering the segment market growth in recent years.
For instance, as per the Tidal Energy Development report 2020, wave & tidal energy accounted around 1.5% of the world’s total installed electricity, 4.5% of the total renewable energy capability, and around 7.5% of the world’s total hydro-power capacity.
Furthermore, the wave energy segment is likely to register the fastest growth at a considerable CAGR over the study period. High acceptance of wave power than other renewable resources across the globe due to its several types of advantages including high availability and easy forecasting coupled with the highest production capacity of ocean waves produce energy 90% of the time compared to other resources are expected to fuel the segment market growth extensively shortly.
The power generation segment held the largest market share in 2021
The power generation sector has a significant market share, in 2021, due to the rapidly growing consumption of electrical power across the globe and higher technological development in the power generation processes to produce a large amount of electricity at low costs. In addition, the rising popularity and penetration of power generation from the ocean owing to its several prospective, highly predictable, and easy availability as compared to other types of renewable resources worldwide are likely to be one of the major factors driving the growth of the segment market over the coming years.
Additionally, the desalination segment is expected to grow over the anticipated period. The emergence of seawater as a practice to produce portable drinking water and the wide utilization of these systems due to their more resilient nature are major reasons propelling the growth of the segment and are anticipated to hold a healthy market share shortly. Moreover, the ability of the desalination process to provide fresh water for various purposes including human consumption and agriculture as it removes salt and other types of unwanted content from the seawater is estimated to generate high growth opportunities for the segment market.
The tidal stream generator segment is projected to witness the fastest growth
Over the course of the projected period, the tidal stream generator segment is likely to emerge as the fastest-growing segment. The growth of the segment is mainly attributable to the growing dependency on electricity and growing trend of shifting towards cleaner fuel sources due to their high availability and environment-friendly nature. In addition, several government authorities are highly focusing on the installation of tidal stream generators through various favorable policies and schemes. United States, Europe, and China have introduced and are implementing on several strategies such as investment tax credits, capital subsidies, and fit to augment the segment growth.
Asia Pacific region dominated the wave and tidal energy market in 2021
In 2021, Asia Pacific was the leading market & is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. A growing number of environmental regulations, public funding programs, and various government favorable policies and initiatives to promote the use of pollution-free renewable energy resources are key major factors driving the growth of the market in the region. China has turned into a major market in the wave and tidal energy sector owing to various national test sites and a growing focus on the development of the electricity generation process.
Furthermore, North America is witnessing the fastest-growing CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the availability of highly developed technology and growing awareness of green energy resources in the region. Canada has emerged as the largest market in the North America wave and tidal energy sector with the presence of a strong legislative framework and national public funding. For instance, Nova Scotia is one of eastern Canada’s Maritime Provinces in the enhancement and development of FORCE, the leading research center of in-stream tidal energy, with a contribution of USD 11 million, along with the support for a wide range of strategic research projects in the marine energy sector.
