WILMINGTON : The solar pump market size is projected to reach US$3.38 Bn by 2031, advancing at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2022 to 2031 (the forecast period). Focus toward commercialization of technologically advanced solar photovoltaic water pump (SSPWP) is boosting the outlook of solar pump global market. Lower maintenance requirement than diesel-powered pumps and cost-effectiveness of solar power are key propositions anchoring the adoption of solar pumps in agriculture, water treatment, and household applications.
Many solar pump manufacturers are tapping DC solar pumps to capture value-grab opportunity in smart solar pumps. Solar pump for agriculture presents a lucrative avenue. The increasing trend of renewable power in agriculture sector in a bid to reduce the carbon footprint is a key underpinning for the expansion of the solar pumps market. Low penetration of grid-based power in rural areas of emerging economies has unlocked lucrative demand for solar pumps. Their commercialization is gathering momentum from the need for sustainable ways to achieve clear water supply for various agriculture activities.
Key Findings of Solar Pumps Market Study
