Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

Industrial Process Heat Transition: The most powerful driver across the global solar thermal market is the accelerating transition from residential water heating to industrial process heat applications. The SHIP market commissioned 120 MW of new capacity globally in 2024, a 28% increase over the previous year, with at least 106 new industrial solar heat plants coming into operation. The food and beverage industry, including dairies, leads with 21 projects, followed by the agricultural sector, with growing interest from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Two large collector fields with a combined capacity of 113 MW are currently under construction for the Minera Escondida copper mine in Chile, with commissioning anticipated by end of 2026, demonstrating the scalability of solar thermal for heavy industry. This growth is driven by corporate decarbonisation mandates, rising fossil fuel prices, and the need to replace gas boilers with clean, dispatchable heat.
Supportive Government Policies and National Targets: National renewable energy targets and supportive policies are accelerating deployment globally. The European Union's REPowerEU plan and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) are driving solar thermal integration in new construction, while the US Inflation Reduction Act provides a 30% Investment Tax Credit for solar thermal projects, with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act restoring 100% bonus depreciation for Section 179D. China's 14th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development called for advancement of long-duration thermal-storage CSP, and the National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Administration jointly issued the Opinions on Promoting the Scaled Development of Concentrated Solar Power in December 2025, setting a target of 15 GW of CSP capacity by 2030. India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy offers viability gap funding of up to 50% for concentrating solar thermal projects addressing industrial process heat.

Market Challenges

Competition from Heat Pumps and PV: The global solar thermal market faces intensifying competition from heat pumps and photovoltaic systems, which benefit from rapidly declining costs and broader consumer familiarity with electricity generation. The global market for solar thermal water collectors contracted 14.2% in 2024, mainly due to the ongoing decline in China, with the residential segment under pressure from heat pumps and electrification policies. The difficulty of the solar thermal sector to compete with the current enthusiasm for PV self-consumption is particularly acute in residential markets, where consumers prioritise electricity generation and battery storage over thermal applications. Low-cost Asian photovoltaic modules are also taking up physical space on rooftops and creating competitive pressure for solar thermal systems.
Policy Uncertainty and Subsidy Dependence: The global solar thermal market is severely constrained by inconsistent policy signals across key markets. The SHIP market's weaker performance in 2025 can be attributed to the continued decline of the Dutch market following changes to the subsidy scheme in 2024, as well as delays in large-scale projects that had been announced earlier. Project developers point to long decision-making processes among industrial clients and reduced pressure to decarbonize due to lower gas prices as key barriers. The market is strongly driven by policy and subsidies, which are increasingly focused on heat pumps, leaving solar thermal at a competitive disadvantage in many regions.

Market Trends

Hybrid PVT and Sector Coupling: The convergence of photovoltaic and thermal technologies in hybrid modules is gaining significant commercial traction globally. In 2024, 37.5 MWth of new PVT thermal capacity and 18.6 MWp of electrical capacity were installed worldwide, a 13% increase in thermal output, with most installations concentrated in Europe and China. Germany leads the global ranking for PVT collectors added to the market, reflecting the technology's growing acceptance as a high-efficiency solution for buildings with limited roof space. Solar thermal is increasingly being hybridised with heat pumps to relieve pressure on the electricity grid, supporting broader electrification efforts while maximising renewable energy yield. Forty-six manufacturers reported PVT sales, with the market showing significant growth potential as the technology matures and costs decline.
Large-Scale Industrial and District Heating Acceleration: The most dynamic trend in the global market is the acceleration of large-scale solar thermal projects for industrial processes and district heating networks. Solar district heating is expanding into new markets, with large collector fields in the planning phase in Kosovo (44 MW) and Serbia (27 MW), while Denmark has 150 district systems using solar thermal heat. In 2025, 86 new SHIP systems with a combined capacity of 28 MW were commissioned across 18 countries, and while this represents a decline from 2024, the pipeline of large-scale projects under construction suggests a temporary downturn rather than a structural decline. Project developers are increasingly offering hybrid solutions combining solar collector fields with heat pumps or storage systems to significantly increase the proportion of renewable energy used for heating throughout the year.
