Report Scope
The scope of this investigation includes only major viable technologies and products implemented in all market sectors to concentrate, collect, receive, absorb or otherwise make available solar thermal energy for heating or power generation processes. These ST technologies can include various components such as receiver surfaces, receiver tubes (heat collection elements), solar collector assemblies (structural frames), reflective surfaces (mirrors, reflective film), and solar tracking and motion control systems. Solar thermal technologies are integral components to any ST system whose sales and manufacturing volumes are largely indicative of the actual or anticipated performance of the entire ST technology market. Emerging ST technologies anticipated to be commercially nonviable are not included in the market assessment of this report.
BCC Research analyzes each major viable ST technology, determines its current market status, examines its impact on future markets and presents forecasts of growth over the next five years. Technological issues, including the latest trends, are assessed and discussed, as are the current and likely regulatory environment in support of this industry.
BCC Research analyzes the industry on a worldwide basis in terms of its manufacture and deployment of its technologies or products. BCC Research examines government roles in support of solar thermal technologies worldwide, including regulatory support and requirements, feed-in tariffs and promotional incentives for various ST technologies, as relevant and available. The report provides a review of the most relevant ST technologies, discusses recent trends in capacity installation and unit sales, and provides industry overviews and market assessments for each ST technology. By 2019, the worldwide markets for ST technologies are expected to reach $42.6 billion with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% from 2014 to 2019.
The following is a list of the major worldwide markets that were assessed in support of this study:
