1. Overview
The energy of the future will be and must be regenerative and sustainable. The generation and storage of renewable energy will be the fastest growing sector in energy market for next 20 years. The market volume of renewable energy worldwide will increase from US$ 124.4 billion in 2010 and reach US$ 360 billion in 2016.
Today, 15% of the world population consume more than 70% of the generated energy. However, the fast growth of the developing countries like China and India raises serious question for the balance of energy industry. Meanwhile, the hiking price of oil and gas, the severe air pollution and global warming demand the shift from conventional fossil fuel to clean, regenerative and sustainable energy sources.
The major market driving forces come from three aspects. First is the governmental policy and social awareness. In many countries, environmental protection and energy security are the key political concerns which favour the use of clean energy. In most countries governments sponsor programs for using hydropower, wind power and biomass as well as set regulations & standards for emission so that biofuel, solar energy, hydrogen based energy and other environmental friendly energy are adopted.
Second is the pricing factor. Whereas the oil and gas price is rising in the long term and extremely volatile, the price for renewable energy is stably going downward. The material benefits will naturally attract more and more industrial and residential consumers.
Both of these two driving forces are finally based on the development of technology. Only when the technology enables large scale production and competitive costs, is the commercial application possible.
Nanotechnology and nano-bio-info converging technologies will be the key enabling technology for renewable energy market during next 20 years. Nanotechnology and converging technologies can modify the molecular structure so that more energy can be stored, transformed and utilised. Their application will largely improve the performance-cost ratio of solar energy, biofuel and fuel cell. These sectors will also experience the fastest growth thanks to technological development.
Although fuel cell stores energy rather than produces energy, it plays a major role in the future renewable energy industry. Through minimization, fuel cell can store huge amount of energy within a small volume so that the energy can be easily transported, distributed and utilised in various locations. This will solve the biggest problem of utilising renewable energy, namely the remoteness between energy production and application. Nanotechnology is undoubtedly one of the key technologies to commercializing fuel cell.
Apart from energy production, the saving potentials in the energy market (especially in Europe and North America) are very high. People become more and more aware that energy savings and sustainability in energy generation and energy utilization can be of existential importance. Consequently, the efficient usage of renewable energy is also an important part of the energy industry.
As to the regional development, Europe and North America are today’s leaders in technology and in market share. Yet, developing countries such as China, India and Brazil are catching up rapidly, or even becoming leaders in certain sector. On the one hand, these countries’ industrial boom requires more energy supply; on the other hand, the huge land area and sufficient natural energy resources in these countries provide ideal conditions for utilizing renewable energy. Last but not least, renewable energy will also give easy access to their population in the rural area, where no sophisticated energy infrastructure is present. With the substantial support from government, Asian developing countries will become the fastest growing market of renewable energy in next decade.
2. Goals of the Study

The study shows turnover, volume, potentials, product fields and products, applications, competition, companies, countries, regions worldwide, profit potentials, value chains, research expenditures, investments, factors of success, strategies, and opportunities & risks.
The study is suitable to check the state of research and development, get innovations, check and compare the state of competitors, and develop own strategies. This applies to companies, institutes, organizations, investors and countries or states respectively.
3. Methodology
The study is based on the following methods: Desk and Field Research. Market potentials and prospects are gathered by the Delphi-Method. Here specialists in the market are questioned about their future expectations which are then narrowed through repeated coordination with the specialists.
A survey of over 320 enterprises was conducted, the participating companies maufacturers and end-user in Europe, Asia and America. Information was collected through interview and questionnaire.
Information on the business state and developments, including economic data on companies and products, were obtained from primary and secondary sources, including government sources, trade associations, companies, and select individuals.
Corporate annual reports and 10-K filings with the SEC plus security analyst reports were also utilized. In a few cases, mostly for private firms, sales figures had to be estimated. Historical data and forecasts are stated in current dollars .
