Pico Hydropower Market size was valued at USD 4.9 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at 28.9% CAGR over the forecast years to reach USD 29.0 million by 2030. The Pico hydropower market is driven by the factors such as growing demand for renewable energy, electrification of remote areas, government support and incentives, rising energy costs, and technological advancements. Global emphasis on reducing dependence on fossil fuels and increasing adoption of clean energy sources is propelling the Pico hydropower market. Many regions lack access to grid-based electricity. Pico hydro systems provide a reliable and eco-friendly solution for these areas, and governments offer subsidies and tax breaks to encourage the installation of Pico hydro systems, making them more affordable.
As the cost of traditional energy sources continues to rise, Pico hydro becomes a more attractive option for reducing electricity bills. Improvements in turbine design, efficiency, and miniaturization are making Pico hydro systems more affordable and easier to install. Despite the positive outlook, the Pico hydropower market have to face a challenge such as high upfront costs, limited capacity, site dependence, and maintenance requirements. Off-grid applications, integration with microgrids, technological innovation, and focus on developing economies are the opportunities in the market which shape the market in the upcoming years. Focus on portability and ease of installation, hybrid systems, pay-as-you-go models, and increasing government regulations are the trends in the Pico hydropower market.
Pico Hydropower Market Key Developments:
- In March 2022, Ricoh has indeed launched an innovative mini hydropower system designed for remote locations, which can be integrated with solar-plus-storage solutions. This pico-hydro generation system is capable of generating electricity even with a small stream of water and is particularly suitable for factory drainage systems and irrigation canal.
