Project News:

The Bangladeshi solar energy market is expected to record a CAGR of more than 8.56% during the forecast period of 2022–2027. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the Bangladesh solar energy market, and solar module makers in Bangladesh have demanded USD 58.9 million worth of grants, long-term interest-free loans, and tax incentives to recover the losses incurred due to the pandemic. Factors such as supportive government policies, rising environmental concerns, incentives, and tax benefits for solar panel installations are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. However, increasing adoption of alternate clean energy sources and high initial investment costs of solar projects are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

The solar PV segment is expected to dominate the Bangladesh solar energy market during the forecast period due to its cost-effectiveness compared to other solar technologies like concentrated solar power (CSP) and passive solar technology.

Bangladesh has set an ambitious goal of generating more than 4,100 megawatts of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. Solar power is likely to account for half of the power generation, creating a significant opportunity for the country's solar energy market.

Increasing electricity demand in major provinces like Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, and Rajshahi is expected to drive the market in the forecast period.
