London, UK. 14 July 2011. The world is currently facing two potentially contradictory desires: that of increasing global energy supply to meet a growing demand for energy; and that of tackling global warming by lowering emissions of carbon dioxide. This situation creates an opportunity for hydropower, which is a low-carbon energy source, capable of supplying substantial quantities of power throughout the world. Visiongain calculates the global hydropower market, defined as spending on new hydropower projects plus spending on upgrades and expansions, to be worth $56.51bn in 2011.
Hydropower is a key component of the energy industry, currently contributing around one-sixth of all global electricity, but likely to play an even more important role in the future of global energy supply as the inevitable shift to renewable energy occurs. The report offers an examination of the hydropower market over the next decade, providing detailed market forecasts for each of the regional markets and offering in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges facing companies in the hydropower market throughout the world.
The Hydropower Market 2011-2021 report includes 65 tables and graphs quantifying, analysing and forecasting the hydropower market in detail, and provides information on recently awarded contracts in more than 50 national markets. In addition, the report offers profiles of 50 of the leading companies within the hydropower market.
The report also describes the most important technological changes within the hydropower industry and assesses their importance for the growth of the hydropower market over the long-term. The various drivers and restraints of the hydropower market are evaluated in order to provide readers with specific insights into the future direction of the hydropower market.
Visiongain's The Hydropower Market 2011-2021 reveals a comprehensive analysis of the industry providing insight into the regional growth areas and technological trends prevailing in the industry.
