Non-concentrating Solar Collector Market

COVID-19 Impact on Non-concentrating Solar Collector Market

• The COVID-19 pandemic affected the world economy in many ways. Lockdowns were enforced throughout the world to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Because of this, all non-essential manufacturing activities halted abruptly. Non-concentrating solar collector manufacturing was also affected due to COVID-19.
• China is the major manufacturer of photovoltaic cells and solar systems. China was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, manufacturing as well as supply chain were severely affected due to the fear of the COVID-19 infection from Chinese products. This created a big gap in supply chain of photovoltaic cells and solar systems. Due to this, the non-concentrating solar collector market was adversely affected.
• The COVID-19 outbreak has directly affected the construction and infrastructure development businesses. Halt in construction activities adversely affected the demand for non-concentrating solar collectors, thus hampering the global non-concentrating solar collector market.

Key Drivers of Non-concentrating Solar Collector Market

• Increase in awareness about the adverse effects of fossil fuels and continuous efforts of many countries in adapting energy efficient technologies are factors driving the non-concentrating solar collector market
• Lower cost compared to concentrating solar collectors as well as solar fuels cells and solar panels makes non-concentrating solar collectors an ideal option for early adopters of solar technology. With many governments providing financial aid through subsidies for solar technology implementation, increasing number of people are looking to adopt solar technology.

Restraints of Non-concentrating Solar Collector Market

• Traditional electric and gas heaters are cheaper than non-concentrating solar collectors. Furthermore, non-concentrating solar collectors require large area for the setup due to the absence of concentrating mirrors and bigger absorber area. This creates space constraints in smaller houses and apartments. These factors are estimated to hamper the global non-concentrating solar collector market in the near future.

North America to Contribute Growing Share of Non-concentrating Solar Collector Market

• In terms of region, the global non-concentrating solar collector market can be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• North America has been dominating the global market for non-concentrating solar collectors since the last few years. The market in the region is expected to expand at a steady pace during the forecast period. The U.S. has been the major consumer of non-concentrating solar collectors due to their application in commercial spaces such as swimming pools and space heating applications in colder regions. Increasing concern about depleting natural resources and environmental sustainability in the U.S. is likely to drive the non-concentrating solar collector market in the country.
• Europe has also been contributing significantly to the non-concentrating solar collector market, as most of the Europe experiences cold weather. Thus, there is continuous need of space heating and water heating. The non-concentrating solar collector market in the region is expected to expand at steady pace, as many governments in the region are promoting the use of solar technologies.

Non-concentrating Solar Collector Market: Introduction

• Non-concentrating solar collector is a type of solar thermal collector, wherein the sunlight is directly absorbed by absorbers and any concentrating mirrors and collector housing are not available
• Non-concentrating solar collectors are used in industrial, residential, and commercial places for applications such as space heating and water heating. Absorbers in non-concentrating solar collectors absorb radiations directly from the sun and then transfer the energy in the form of heat through working fluid. Non-concentrating solar collectors are generally used in applications where temperature requirement is medium.
