South Korea Renewable Energy Market Analysis:

  • Major Market Drivers: A combination of governmental policies, technological advancements, and societal demand for sustainable energy solutions is driving the market's growth. Additionally, the government of South Korea is offering financial incentives, such as tax benefits and subsidies, to encourage both businesses and consumers to adopt renewable energy solutions, further propelling the South Korea renewable energy market demand.
  • Key Market Trends: The rising investments in research and development (R&D) to make renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, more efficient and cost-effective are driving the South Korea renewable energy market growth. Besides this, the heightened public awareness and the societal push for sustainability are other major growth-inducing factors.
  • Competitive Landscape: The South Korea renewable energy market analysis report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of the competitive landscape in the market. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided.
  • Geographical Trends: The Seoul Capital Area, including Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province, has a significant demand for renewable energy driven by its large population, high energy consumption, and ambitious environmental policies. Moreover, Yeongnam, which includes areas like Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongsangbuk-do, is more industrialized and has a significant energy consumption profile. There's growing interest in renewable energy, especially in wind and solar power. 
  • Challenges and Opportunities: The high initial cost of renewable energy projects and the rising dependency on fossil fuels are hampering the market's growth. However, South Korea's government has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the share of renewable energy. This support can drive growth in the sector through subsidies, incentives, and regulatory frameworks.


South Korea Renewable Energy Market Trends:

Growing Urbanization

The growing urbanization is a significant driver of the renewable energy market in South Korea. For instance, according to Statista, in 2022, around 47.3 million people lived in metropolitan areas in South Korea. Around 91.9% of South Korean inhabitants resided in cities that year. Urban areas typically experience higher energy consumption due to the concentration of residential, commercial, and industrial activities. This increased demand creates a strong incentive to diversify energy sources and integrate more renewable energy solutions to meet the needs of urban populations. These factors are further positively influencing the South Korea renewable energy market forecast.

Rising Financial Incentives

South Korea offers various financial incentives, such as subsidies, tax breaks, and feed-in tariffs (FiTs) or power purchase agreements (PPAs), to encourage the development and deployment of renewable energy projects. For instance, in April 2023, South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE) allocated KRW 244.7 billion (US$185.5 million) for its rebate program for rooftop PV systems and other small renewable energy systems. These incentives help reduce the financial risk for developers and investors. These factors are further contributing to the South Korea renewable energy market share.

Government Policies and Targets

The South Korean government has set ambitious renewable energy targets as part of its Green New Deal and 2050 carbon neutrality goals. The country aims to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and increase the share of renewables in its energy mix. For instance, in July 2020, South Korea announced its Green New Deal (GND), which includes a promise to generate 20% of the country's power from renewable sources by 2030. It also planned to invest 9.2 trillion won (USD 6.8 billion) in wind, solar, and hydrogen by 2025, as well as build 12 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030. These factors are augmenting the South Korea renewable energy market demand.
