Insights into the Worldwide Geothermal Power Market to 2026 - Rise in Demand for Renewable Energy is Helping to Drive the Market - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Geothermal Power Market by Power Station Type and End Use: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global geothermal power market was valued at $4.6 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $6.8 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2019 to 2026.

Geothermal energy is defined as the energy derived from the natural heat of the earth, owing to decay of the natural radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium, and potassium. Power generated by geothermal energy is referred to as geothermal power. Technologies used to generate power from geothermal energy include flash steam power stations, dry steam power stations, and binary cycle power stations.

Currently, geothermal electricity generation is used in 26 countries, whereas geothermal heating is in use in around 70 countries. Enforcement of stringent government regulations supporting the use of geothermal power for generating electricity acts as a key driver of the global geothermal power market. Leading countries in terms of production of geothermal energy are the U.S., Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, and Japan. Presence of large geothermal reserves in the U.S., Mexico, Philippines, and Indonesia is one of the significant factors propelling geothermal production in these countries.

Other factors such as volatility in fossil fuel prices, increase in greenhouse gases emissions, and cost-effectiveness of geothermal energy are boosting the demand for geothermal power to generate electricity. As a result, it is expected that the geothermal power market will grow significantly during the forecast period. However, certain factors are expected to hamper the growth of the market such as requirement of huge investment for geothermal power plants and negative impact of geothermal energy on the environment =.
