APAC Hydropower Industry Segmentation
Hydropower can be defined as one of the largest and oldest sources of renewable energy, and it uses the natural flow of moving water to produce electricity. Hydropower is also applied as half of an energy storage system known as pumped-storage hydroelectricity. It is an alternative source of electricity production for fossil fuels as it doesn't directly produce carbon emissions.
The hydropower market is segmented by size and geography. By size, the market is segmented into large hydropower, small hydropower, and others. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the hydropower market across major countries (China, India, Japan, Vietnam, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific) in the region. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done based on installed capacity (GW).
