Therefore, such condition has enhanced the Solar Thermal Collectors market CAGR across the globe in the recent years.

However, increasing awareness about renewable energy is another factor driving the growth of the Solar Thermal Collectors market revenue.

Solar Thermal Collectors Market Segment Insights:

Solar Thermal Collectors Product Insights

The Solar Thermal Collectors Market segmentation, based on product, includes concentrating and non-concentrating. The Non- Concentrating Solar Collector segment held the majority share in 2021, contributing to around ~65-67% of Solar Thermal Collectors Market revenue. The market is anticipated to expand at the fastest rate due to the product's expanding range of industrial applications. Flat plates, evacuated tube, unglazed water, and air collectors are in the non concentrating sector. The evacuated tube is composed of a smaller glass tube. This vacuum layer is essential to solar thermal systems because it can reduce heat loss from the solar collector. Some applications for evacuated tube collectors include solar water heating, drying, air heating, and desalination. Additionally, the world's oil and gas supplies are in danger of exhaustion due to the harm done to the ecosystem by the vast consumption of oil and gas. The global expansion of solar thermal power plants and ongoing investments in this sector have raised the demand for evacuated tube collectors, which are necessary for converting solar radiation into heat and transporting heat to a medium. These elements offer several opportunities for the market's expansion.

Solar Thermal Collectors Application Insights

The Solar Thermal Collectors Market segmentation, based on Application, includes residential, industrial, and commercial. The Residential segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The expansion of solar district heating projects around the world is the most prominent development factor for the residential solar thermal market. They are essential to decarbonizing the heating industry and addressing the rising demand for environmentally benign methods of providing heating services like residential water heating and space heating. As of 2020, there were 6,479 MW of installed solar thermal capacity worldwide, a 36% increase from 2015. China, Germany, and Denmark are the main players in the market. With a total installed capacity of 75 MW and a collector surface area of 107,000 square meters, Germany reported 44 solar district heating plants in 2020. Hence, rising applications in Residential for Solar Thermal Collectors positively impacts the market growth.
