The Hydropower Market 2010-2020

Based on our research, global spending in 2010 on hydropower infrastructure will total $59.8bn. In the report, we analyse, quantify and forecast the expected spending in the global and regional hydropower infrastructure markets over the period 2010-2020. These forecasts are underpinned by Visiongain’s forecast of hydropower as an established market with exciting new business opportunities from 2010-2020.

This report offers in depth analysis of hydropower as one of the key components of the energy industry – an industry which contributes around one-sixth of all global electricity. Hydropower is therefore a key contributor in the electricity generation sector, and will likely play an even more important role in the future of global energy supply as the inevitable shift to renewable energy occurs. The report analyses a wealth of data and introduces a clear analysis of where the market will develop based upon diverse factors and insight into the market, anticipating how and why the market will evolve from 2010 onwards.

The report also describes the most important technological changes within the hydropower industry and assesses their importance for the growth of the market over the long-term. The various drivers and restraints of the market are assessed in order to provide readers with specific insights into the future direction of the hydropower market.

How much are individual regions planning to spend on acquiring new hydropower infrastructure and upgrading and maintaining existing infrastructure between 2010 and 2020? How much will overall hydropower demand increase over the period 2010-2020? Who are the leading companies in the hydropower industry? Where are the growth opportunities over the next decade – in which geographical region and with which type of technology? These critical questions and many more are definitively answered in this comprehensive report.
