GCC Solar Water Heater Market Driven by Strategic Goals for Harnessing RE

The recent report published by IMARC Group, entitled “GCC Solar Water Heater Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027”, finds that the GCC solar water heater market size reached US$ 69.7 Million in 2021. Solar water heaters work all year round and provide a sustainable and cost-effective means of heating water for commercial, residential and industrial uses. In addition, they help in minimizing carbon emissions and improving the energy security of a region by reducing the pressure on the power systems. The GCC region receives an average of 6kWh/m² solar radiation daily with 80-90% clear skies throughout the year. As a result, the region has ample opportunities for the implementation of solar water heaters as a solution for reducing dependence on gas and electricity.

Market Trends:

The GCC nations have implemented certain strategic goals for increasing the share of renewable energy (RE) in their total energy production. As mentioned earlier, the region receives high levels of solar radiation, owing to which solar energy has been identified as the preferred choice for fulfilling these goals. For instance, the government of Saudi Arabia has implemented policies and regulations to promote small and medium scale solar projects, such as installing solar water heaters in the cities. Moreover, the Solar Heating Arab Mark and Certification Initiative (SHAMCI), a quality certification scheme by RCREEE, focuses on improving and expanding the solar water heater market by offering better quality products in the Arab region. However, the low electricity rates in the GCC nations have been limiting the uptake of solar water heaters.Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 180.4 Million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 17.2% during 2022-2027.
