The agrivoltaics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of agrivoltaics has witnessed notable expansion in the past few years. Its value is projected to escalate from $4.59 billion in 2024 to $5.18 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%.
The phenomenal growth observed in the historical period could be ascribed to the rising demand for renewable energy, improved energy efficiency, governmental incentives, conservation of the environment, and integration of energy storage.
The agrivoltaics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the agrivoltaic market is set to experience a significant increase in size, reaching $7.82 billion by 2029 owing to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%.
The projected growth during the forecast period is likely due to mounting anxiety about food security, advances in crop yields, public cognizance and perspectives, corporate sustainability objectives, and amplified rural development. Key trends projected for this period include the merger of solar panels with agriculture, the advent of agrivoltaic microgrids, carbon sequestration, global outreach, and developments in agricultural practices.
The agrivoltaics market is anticipated to expand due to the growing need for agricultural land. This refers to land that is arable or used for permanent crops or pastures. Agrivoltaics present a viable and effective method for the use of agricultural land, merging the advantages of renewable energy production with agricultural output, and possibly enhancing the resilience of agricultural systems against climate change. For instance, the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, an Indian governmental organization, reported that the total area used for Rabi crops in the 2021–2022 season in India was said to be 664.20 lakh hectares, an increase from 652.55 lakh hectares in 2020–21. Moreover, there's a 15% rise in the area used for Rabi crops compared to last year. Consequently, the escalating demand for agricultural land is propelling the progression of the agrivoltaics market.
