The rise in investments in renewable energy is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as competition from alternative sources of energy impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the parabolic trough CSP market growth is the rise in investments in renewable energy. As per the US Energy Information Administration estimates, renewables will contribute 28.15% to the global net electricity production by 2030. Even though the total cost of producing electricity using renewable energy is relatively expensive when compared to conventional power generation, renewable technology is evolving much faster, posing stiff competition to newly built fossil fuel power plants.
For instance, there is an increase in continuous investments in renewable energy globally due to low carbon emissions from renewable sources and the competitive cost of producing electricity. Additionally, governments are promoting the use of renewable sources of energy by providing grants, incentives, and FIT, as renewable sources such as solar, hydro, and wind are intermittent in nature, making them less ideal for standalone power systems. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the Parabolic Trough Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the parabolic trough CSP market growth is the growing application of parabolic trough CSP in seawater desalination. There has been a growing adoption of parabolic trough CSP technology in the process of seawater desalination. One of the key advantages of parabolic trough CSP is its ability to operate at high temperatures, thus making it highly efficient in the desalination process.
Additionally, it is eco-friendly when compared to other traditional desalination methods, as the only byproduct is steam generated from the water. Furthermore, it is very much cost-effective in the long run, as it requires only minimal maintenance and has a lifespan of over 25 years. For instance, a significant example of parabolic trough CSP's application in seawater desalination is the Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex in Morocco. Thus, such advantages are expected to drive the Parabolic Trough CSP Market growth during the forecast period.
Competition from alternative sources of energy is one of the key challenges hindering the parabolic trough CSP market growth. As per the IEA, China, the US, and India are the growing wind energy markets in terms of energy production. Additionally, due to the abundant availability of fossil fuels to generate electricity, numerous countries prefer using fossil fuels rather than renewable energy.
In addition, the preference for non-renewable energy sources is high in the market as the cost of establishing renewable energy farms for power production is expensive, and the power output from renewable sources is not at par with the output from fossil fuels. Fuel cells pose a significant threat to the parabolic trough CSP market as fuel cells produce electricity without combustion and generate fewer pollutants than traditional combustion-based electricity generation technologies. Thus, such factors are expected to hamper the parabolic trough CSP market growth during the forecast period.

The less than or equal to 50 MW segment was valued at USD 3,554.08 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Since these plants are relatively small, they can be installed in different locations, including urban areas. As many countries are facing a shortage of suitable land for power generation, with the help of small-scale CSP plants, we can make use of land that is not suitable for other types of power generation. For instance, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System in California is a 392 MW CSP plant located on undeveloped desert land. This type of land is not compatible with agriculture or other development but is best for CSP plants. Hence, such factors can drive the Parabolic Trough Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Market growth during the forecast period.

Europe is estimated to contribute 38% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Due to the parabolic trough CSP targets set by various countries in the region, Europe is expected to witness the highest growth in the coming years. Some of the key countries in Europe, such as Spain, Italy, and France, have set targets for solar energy. For instance, Spain and Italy have supported a 2030 binding renewable energy target of more than 30%. Similarly, France has declared solar power targets of 20.1 GW by 2023 and 31.1-44.0 GW by 2028. Thus such targets are expected to drive the parabolic trough CSP market growth in the region during the forecast period.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of the global parabolic trough CSP market witnessed a significant slowdown as it halted several operations, such as solar power projects in Europe, resulting in the closure of solar power generation, commercial offices, and outlets. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives?lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the resumption of end-user operations, and an increase in the demand for sustainable energy sources. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
