Small Hydropower Market Dynamics (including market size, share, trends, forecast, growth, forecast, and industry analysis)

Key Drivers

The global small hydropower market size is predicted to witness an upsurge in demand during the forecast period due to the decreasing dependency on conventional resources, growing focus towards rural electrification in developing and underdeveloped countries, and low maintenance cost and capital investment. Renewable power generation helps economies in meeting sustainable development goals through the provision of access to reliable, secure, clean, and affordable energy. Large capacity hydropower systems are being installed worldwide every year. Additionally, in recent years, the decrease in renewable energy technology prices owing to research and development and increased developments. Small hydropower plants can be constructed through existing dams or via a running river, which decreases about 45% cost of civil construction and results in a low capital cost. Small hydropower plants have less operational cost as it needs less labor management and site maintenance. The low capital and maintenance cost regarding the installation of a small hydropower plant is anticipated to boost the growth of the small hydropower market share in terms of revenue. On the other hand, the factors hindering the growth of the small hydropower market include the cost of operating small hydropower plants compared to New Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Onshore Wind Power is high.

Component Segment Drivers

Based on component, the market is segmented into electromechanical equipment, electric infrastructure, and civil works. The civil work segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Civil work covers the maximum share of project costs in small hydropower projects. They offer proper guidance related to water on turbines and improve the water head and civil structures. The simple public infrastructure is less costly as compared to large hydropower plants, however, it accounts for a larger share of the total project cost.
