Renewable Energy Insurance Market Analysis
The Renewable Energy Insurance Market size is estimated at USD 18.74 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 22.98 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.16% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The sun and wind are the two main resources driving the expansion of renewable energy. Other forms are relevant in some areas, but they are typically more complicated, less standardized, have smaller economies of scale, and need more initial financial outlays to be utilized. In the next two decades, energy from solar and wind power should make up nearly half of global production. In contrast, coal production is expected to decrease due to the possibility that it will be outlawed or subject to heavy taxes in the future, as well as the longer-term cost, cleaner nature, and greater sustainability of renewable energy sources.
The renewable energy insurance market is expanding and has drawn much capital, making it a soft market with many obstacles for insurers. However, issues regarding the adequacy of rates and deductibles have been highlighted by recent loss trends in some parts of the renewable energy business.
Over the decade, the global market for renewable energy insurance is expected to expand by more than USD 200 billion. While North America lags behind Europe and some areas of Asia in developing offshore renewable sources, the continent leads the world in deploying solar and wind energy.
Renewable Energy Insurance Market Trends
Rising Investments are Expected to Boost the Renewable Energy Insurance Market
The surge in clean energy investments has been driven by several factors, including improved economic conditions at a time when fossil fuel prices are high and unpredictable, improved policy support through tools such as the US Inflation Reduction Act, new policies in Europe, Japan, and China, and other countries’ strong alignment of climate change and energy security objectives, particularly in import-reliant economies. These economies focus on industrial strategy as countries look to strengthen their positions in the fast-growing clean energy market.
The mining, oil, and gas industry is on track to invest more in renewable energy technologies as it seeks to diversify its portfolio and reduce its carbon footprint. Strong demand and attractive long-term incentives are driving global trends in renewable investment. For example, the EU has been implementing an integrated hydrogen strategy to promote the use of renewable and low carbon hydrogen as a form of energy. Other emerging markets, such as Colombia, have introduced new laws to boost incentives for solar and wind power.
Rising Renewable Energy Projects in Asia-Pacific Expected to Boost the Market
In the upcoming decade, approximately half of the total investment in power generation across Asia-Pacific is projected to be allocated to renewable energy sources, including energy storage. Significant investments are being made in the development of large offshore wind farms in South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, mirroring the initiatives previously seen in Taiwan. IHI Corp. is set to install a sea turbine in the Kōchi prefecture near Japan as part of the increasing trend of solar and onshore wind projects in the area.
Asia-Pacific is growing at a faster rate than any other region in the world, with a significant share of global energy emissions projected to come from the region in the next six years. Green investments have been concentrated on solar, offshore wind, and hydroelectric power. The region is also a global leader in lithium-ion battery production, with China accounting for a leading market share. China’s large population and high electricity demand will drive the development of renewable energy sources. Many global companies, including Chinese companies, are investing in renewable energy with the support of China’s federal and provincial governments.
