According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agrivoltaics Market is accounted for $3.61 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $8.00 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 14.15% during the forecast period. Agrivoltaics, also known as agrophotovoltaics, agrisolar, or dual-use solar, is the simultaneous use of land for both solar photovoltaic power generation and agriculture. Because the coexistence of solar panels and crops entails a sharing of light between these two types of production, the design of agrivoltaic facilities may necessitate balancing objectives such as agricultural productivity, crop quality, and energy production. This new farming method combines solar electricity generation with traditional farming on a common agricultural land i.e. a renewable energy-based system like solar photovoltaic system and a cropland can be together developed on the same agricultural land.

According to a study conducted by ENEA and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, the economic and environmental performances of agrivoltaic systems are similar to those of ground photovoltaic plants. ENEA's objective is to increase installed power by 30GW. For ENEA, 0.32% of Italian agricultural fields are to be covered by photovoltaic systems in order to reach 50% of the objectives of the national energy plan.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising water scarcity concerns and rapid climate change

With the world's population continuously increasing, global food production is predicted to skyrocket in the next years. Furthermore, with rapid climate change, if people continue to utilize water for agriculture in the same way, there will not be enough water to meet rising food demands in the future. As a result, rising water scarcity is one of the critical issues that could stymie the growing demand for food production. As a result, there is a critical need for an efficient solution, such as Agrivoltaics, to help meet the intended food demand while overcoming the challenge of water scarcity.

Restraint:

Lack of skilled workforce required for installing solar panels

Solar panel installation necessitates highly experienced professionals who must undergo specific training and certification in order to accomplish the job. Furthermore, putting solar panels on agricultural property necessitates specific understanding because they must be installed at a somewhat higher level above the ground due to crops. As a result, a scarcity of experienced workers to accurately install solar panels on agricultural land without hurting the crop could stymie global Agrivoltaics market growth in the approaching years.

Opportunity:

Increasing investment by major market players

Extensive research and development initiatives done by major market players to aid in the introduction of new and sophisticated agricultural materials into the market in order to enhance demand among potential consumers have offered profitable chances for the growth of the agrivoltaics market throughout the forecast period. Increased investments by leading companies stimulate the development and use of innovative agricultural techniques and equipment, which contributes significantly to the growth of the agrivoltaics market.

Threat:

High installation cost and lack of awareness

The difficulty in obtaining the funding and initiatives required for the installation of costly agrivoltaics systems is a major barrier impeding the spread of agrivoltaics, particularly in low-disposable countries. The modern agricultural equipment brought into the market by key market participants is more expensive than the standard machineries accessible in the market. This makes it difficult for farmers to integrate such modern technologies, limiting market growth during the predicted period.

Covid-19 Impact

The Covid-19 epidemic in 2020 imposed significant constraints on social and economic activity around the world, significantly affecting the Global Agrivoltaics Market. Manufacturing and cross-border trade were severely harmed as a result of the lockdown. Because most countries rely on imports from other countries, particularly China, the manufacture and supply chain of modules has been harmed as a result of the Chinese government's implementation of lockdown and trade restrictions. Furthermore, most solar equipment vendors were unable to deliver orders on schedule, resulting in backlogs. Furthermore, project delays harmed overall industry growth.

The fixed solar panels over crops segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The fixed solar panels over crops segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Factors such as the installation of firm solar panels as standard systems on agricultural greenhouse fields present under or above field crops are contributing to the segment's growth. Additionally, fixed panels aid in the optimization of the installation process by altering the density of the solar panels or the degree of tilt of the solar panels. Fixed solar panels installed on agricultural greenhouses, above open fields crops, or between open fields crops are the most predictable systems. It also helps to enhance the installation by adjusting the density of solar panels or the slant of the panels.

The monocrystalline segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The monocrystalline segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to their higher efficiency. They are produced using a single crystal growth process and can achieve commercial efficiencies ranging from 20% to 24%. Furthermore, this technique is the most efficient and dependable source of electricity generation. Their endurance and embedded energy per panel, as well as improved efficiency and sleeker aesthetics, are the major factors contributing to their rising demand.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to to the rising adoption of solar modules in China, Japan, & India. China is the major producer of solar modules in the region. The Agrivoltaics Market is rapidly expanding across the country as a result of favourable laws and the growing need to broaden domestic energy demand in order to alleviate the challenges connected with China's Photovoltaic industry's overcapacity. As a result, the installation of Agrivoltaics in China is intended to address these overcapacity issues while also encouraging the use of advanced agricultural practises throughout the country.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increasing installation of solar power panels on agricultural lands in the region. Due to a lack of agricultural area, growing and agrivoltaic technology in European places are assisting to improve food production and crop proficiency. National governments in the European Union are undertaking a variety of efforts to increase the proportion of renewable energy in Europe's electrical mix. The EU is really attempting to adhere to climate agreements, which will in turn increase consumption of clean energy for electricity and contribute to regional market growth.
