East Asia Renewable Energy Market size was valued at USD 30.87 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 75.90 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2026 to 2032.

East Asia Renewable Energy Market Drivers

Government Initiatives and Laws: Many Asian countries are enacting favorable laws and regulations to encourage renewable energy usage. Subsidies, tax credits, and feed-in tariffs are examples of incentives that help renewable energy projects succeed and attract investors. China announced in its 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) a target to increase non-fossil fuel energy consumption to approximately 20% by 2025 and 25% by 2030, with installed renewable capacity expected to exceed 1,200 GW by 2030.

Energy Security Concerns: With expanding energy consumption in Asia, there is a growing need to lessen reliance on fossil fuel imports. Renewable energy, notably solar, wind, and hydropower, provides a home supply of energy, improving energy security. Bloomberg New Energy Finance reported that between 2020 and 2022, solar module prices in China decreased by approximately 25%, with utility-scale solar levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) falling to USD 29-39/MWh in 2022.

Technological Advances and Cost Reduction: Continuous developments in renewable energy technology have resulted in significant cost savings in energy generation, particularly solar and wind power. Japan's Agency for Natural Resources and Energy reported that renewable energy development between 2020-2022 reduced fossil fuel imports by approximately 8.5%, saving an estimated USD 12.7 billion in import costs.
