The rising demand for energy is one of the primary factors driving the growth of the Pico Solar market size. The sustainable development goal (SDG) 7.1 has been aiming at ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services by 2030. However, there is a lag in efforts in accomplishing the same. The majority of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) do not have access to electricity. In Asia also some countries have been facing issues in accessing reliable electricity. As a result, there is a rising focus on off-grid renewable energy solutions such as Pico Solar in the regions. Pico Solar is a viable, electrification solution. It is rapidly scalable and environmentally sustainable. Furthermore, it holds the potential to empower rural communities. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the Pico Solar market over the forecast period.

Upcoming Pico Solar market trends such as the rapid growth in the adoption of portable devices will also contribute to the growth of the market. The use of portable gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, and e-readers has become ubiquitous. The vendors of these devices are focusing on engineering products that can be charged using renewable energy systems such as Pico Solar systems. Charging mobile phones, lanterns, and torches using Pico Solar in remote areas with poor electricity access is gaining traction. These devices use small amounts of energy. Therefore, the number of portable devices with integrated solar module and rechargeable in-built batteries is increasing. The rising need for charging efficiency in portable devices and their increasing sales will positively influence the growth of the market in focus. As a result of these factors, the market will register over 15% CAGR during 2019-2023.
