Allied Market Research has recently published a report, titled, “Global Off Grid Solar Market by Application (Residential, Commercial, and Industrial) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA): Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022-2031″. According to the report, the global off grid solar market generated $1.9 billion in 2021, and is anticipated to generate $5.8 billion by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 12.3% from 2022 to 2031.
Prime Determinants of Growth
In the last few years, there has been an increase in the demand for electricity independence which is predicted to be one of the important factors driving the growth of the global off grid solar market in the forecast timeframe. However, the high initial costs associated with off-grid solar systems including wiring, batteries, inverters, charge controllers, and solar panels may hamper the off grid solar market growth in the coming period. On the contrary, an overall rise in energy access in remote areas is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for expansion of the off grid solar market in the 2022-2031 forecast period.

COVID-19 Scenario
- The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the growth of the global off grid solar market. The negative impact on the market was primarily due to disruptions in the global supply chains which affected the supply of solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
- Also, the travel restrictions limited the availability of technicians which ultimately caused a delay in installations of off grid solar panels in different regions of the world.
- However, the off grid solar market is projected to show steady growth in the future due to increasing investments and funding, including public grants, commercial investments, and government subsidies.
Application: Industrial Sub-segment Projected to be Highly Dominant in the Forecast Period
The industrial sub-segment accounted for the highest off grid solar market share in 2021 and is expected to continue on this trajectory during the forecast period. Industrial facilities have large energy requirements which can incur huge costs for the facility. In such cases, growing adoption of off-grid solar systems helps in lowering these costs. This utility of off-grid solar systems for industrial facilities is predicted to boost the sub-segment’s growth by 2031.
Region: Asia-Pacific Market to Hold Major Share by 2031
The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the highest share in the global off grid solar market in 202 and is expected to continue to rise during the forecast period. The increasing expanse of economies in this region has led to a growth in the energy demands in this region. This growth in demand for energy is expected to be the main factor to help the Asia-Pacific market to grow significantly by 2031.
