In-pipe hydro systems market estimated to reach $16.13mn by 2025

CAGR is more for the pico turbines. By application, the market is segmented into four categories: wastewater systems, industrial systems, irrigation systems and residential usage. The wastewater segment was the most attractive in the overall in-pipe hydro systems market in 2016, and is expected to remain most lucrative during the forecast period. The industrial water system segment held the major market share for 2016 and is expected to maintain steady growth for the forecast period. In regional markets, North America holds the key market share, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. However, market attractiveness is showing a growth trend in the Asia Pacific region for the forecast period. Transparency Market Research – USA Website: www.transparencymarketresearch.com

hydro technology requires no additional infrastructure. The systems are basically micro turbines that are designed to be installed in pipeline networks having natural gravity flow of water with high- pressure heads. In-pipe hydro systems are segmented into internal systems and external systems. A market share of more than 80 per cent is contributed by internal systems (in 2016), and this seems to remain high for the forecast period. These internal systems are installed inside the pipe, and their specification therefore depends on the diameter of the pipe. External systems are installed onto the pipe, but they require enclosure vaults. In-pipe hydro systems are further segmented based on power generation capacity, as micro turbines (5 to 100 kW) and pico turbines (less than 5 kW). For the forecast period, growth in terms of

TRANSPARENCY Market Research (TMR) has released a report titled ‘In- Pipe Hydro Systems Market: Global Industry, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2017-2025.’ According to the report, the global in-pipe hydro systems market was valued at US$8.83mn in 2016 and is projected to reach $16.13mn by 2025 at a CAGR of 7.2 per cent from 2017 to 2025. The renewable energy generation industry in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America has been expanding significantly over the last few years. This has fuelled demand for innovative, cost-effective and hassle-free technologies that can generate significant amounts of energy to be utilised on larger scale. Though renewable energy generation with wind turbines and solar panels is common, these techniques require large amounts of infrastructure. In-pipe
