ENR private equity deals in APAC grow amidst energy transition focus

This is despite the overall private equity decline in the region.

The energy and natural resources (ENR) sector is the only industry in the Asia Pacific that saw growth in private equity deal value and volume in 2023, signifying investors' increasing interest in energy transition-related assets.

In a report, Bain & Company said the sector's deal value reached $22b, increasing by 7% compared to its previous five-year average, accounting for a 15% share of the total.

One of the notable investments is Japan Investment Corporation’s $6.9b buyout of JSR.

Meanwhile, the deal count rose by 46% versus the previous five-year average.

“(Limited Partners) and GPs (General Partners) are increasingly focused on energy-transition-related assets as a growing number of organizations make net zero commitments and regulations encourage sustainable practices,” the report read.

“GPs also are betting that the energy transition will create a lucrative investment opportunity,” it added.

Overall, private equity deal value in the region declined to $147b in 2023 as investors are wary of the slowing economic growth in the region, high-interest rates, and volatile public stock markets.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
