The Global Geothermal Power Market Growth Accelerated By Sustainable Energy Adoption
![]() |
Geothermal Power Market |
Geothermal power, also known as hydrothermal power, is the energy generated from heat stored in the earth's crust. It is considered a renewable and sustainable source of energy as the natural heat from the earth can continuously produce steam to drive electric turbines for power generation. The growing emphasis on low-carbon and environment-friendly energy sources has increased the demand for geothermal power. Projects utilizing geothermal resources are economically viable as they do not depend on fuel prices and can deliver dispatchable power 24x7.
The global Geothermal Power Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5.78 Bn in 2023 and is expected to
exhibit a CAGR of 6.2% over the
forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by
Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The increasing adoption of renewable energy due to stringent emission
reduction policies has accelerated the growth of the geothermal power market.
Many nations have set targets to increase the share of green energy in their
overall power generation mix. Geothermal power is projected to contribute
significantly towards clean energy goals due to its baseload generating
capability. Additionally, the constant technological advancements to explore
new geothermal resources and improve the recovery rate from existing wells have
augmented the market's growth over the past few years.
Segment Analysis
The global geothermal power market is dominated by dry steam plants sub
segment. Dry steam plants accounted for over 50% share of the overall market in
2023 owing to the advantages associated with direct use of geothermal steam for
power generation. These plants have high efficiency and lower development costs
making them an attractive choice for tapping geothermal resources located in
high temperature zones.
