Geothermal Energy Market Size
Geothermal Energy Market size exceeded USD 63.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand at more than 8.6% CAGR from 2024 to 2032, driven by the increasing deployment of clean energy solutions globally.
Geothermal power is gaining prominence among proven renewable energy choices, as industries transition toward renewable energy owing to a commitment to sustainability and economic concerns. The introduction of clean energy programs, as well as renewable source integration objectives, has increased the deployment of clean energy sources including solar, geothermal, and wind energy. Geothermal energy can be used to provide emission-free power, clean heating, and even co-generate electricity and heat as part of the transition to clean energy. Furthermore, advancements in several energy storage technologies have encouraged the use of renewable energy sources, which is likely to bolster the industry growth.
Additionally, improvements in geothermal systems will make it more feasible to utilize geothermal energy in varied industries. The Department of Energy estimates that by 2050, geothermal energy might produce 90 gigawatts in the United States, up from the current 3.7 gigawatts. In February 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy invested around $75 million in Enhanced Geothermal Systems pilot projects. By achieving the objectives of these projects, geothermal energy will emerge as a clean, economical choice to assist in the U.S. government’s aim of producing 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035. As a result, rising investments in geothermal energy generation are set to promote business growth.

High initial investment to impede industry progression
Due to the high initial costs associated with site discovery, well drilling, and lengthy project development cycles, the installation of geothermal energy power plants restricts the industry expansion. In addition, the technology has a significant level of project risk since drilling and exploratory operations may have an adverse effect on the ecosystem of the region, which is expected to hinder business expansion. However, as the use of geothermal energy increases, favorable government subsidies and other programs, together with improvements in technology and equipment, are slated to help manufacturers overcome the market limitation.
Geothermal Energy Market Analysis
Geothermal energy market in Indonesia is anticipated to reach over 19 billion by 2032. Indonesia is one of the top countries with strong geothermal potential and as Southeast Asian nations promote geothermal energy in a bid to achieve carbon neutrality, geothermal projects are gaining traction and attracting massive foreign investments. To that effect, leading businesses are trying to strengthen and highlight renewable energy initiatives. For instance, in January 2023, INPEX CORPORATION, a Japanese oil company, expanded its geothermal business in Indonesia by partnering with Rajabasa Geothermal Project through INPEX GEOTHERMAL, LTD., a subsidiary created to conduct geothermal business.
In terms of technology, the geothermal energy market from binary segment generated more than USD 15 billion in revenue in 2022 on account of its high efficiency, minimal emissions, and ease of integration with several other energy sources such as hydropower, solar, and others. In February 2022, Pertamina Geothermal Energy completed the building of a binary cycle geothermal power plant at Lahendong, Tomohon, North Sulawesi. This small-scale power plant with a capacity of 0.5 MW offers development prospects for other small-scale PLTPs. Such initiatives are likely to contribute to segment growth through 2032.
