Middle East & Africa Solar Photovoltaic Market Analysis
The solar photovoltaic market in the Middle East and Africa region is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 12% in the forecast period.
The market was moderately affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, as power demand fell across the region, delaying several projects. However, the market has since rebounded and is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period.
- Over the long term, the exploitation of the high solar potential of the region, which results in a low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
- On the other hand, the abundant availability of oil and gas for power generation and rising investments in the sector are expected to restrain the market during the forecast period.
- Nevertheless, developing a regional solar manufacturing industry is expected to be a significant opportunity for the market beyond the forecast period.

Middle-East and Africa Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market Size Summary
The solar photovoltaic market in the Middle East and Africa is poised for significant growth, driven by the region's high solar potential and favorable Levelized Cost of Energy. Despite initial setbacks due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which delayed projects, the market has rebounded and is expected to expand steadily. The development of a regional solar manufacturing industry presents a promising opportunity for future growth, although the abundance of oil and gas resources and ongoing investments in these sectors may pose challenges. Utility-scale projects are underway, with several large-scale solar facilities in various stages of development across countries like Jordan, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates, contributing to the anticipated growth in the utility sector.
In the United Arab Emirates, a series of strategic policies and plans, such as the UAE Vision 2021 and the UAE Energy Plan 2050, are set to bolster the growth of solar photovoltaics. The country's installed photovoltaic capacity is expected to increase significantly, with major projects like the Al Dhafra and Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar facilities driving expansion. The UAE's solar capacity accounts for a substantial portion of the region's total, and upcoming projects are expected to further enhance this share. The market is moderately fragmented, with key players including First Solar Inc, Jinko Solar Holding Co Ltd, and ACWA Power, among others, actively participating in the region's solar development initiatives.
