Southeast Asia’s RE manufacturing to generate up to $100b revenue by 2030

Its solar PV manufacturing capacity could reach 125 GW to 150 GW.

The growing renewable manufacturing sector in renewable energy could generate around $90b to $100b in revenue by 2030 and create around six million renewable energy jobs by 2050.

In a statement, the Asian Development Bank said the renewable manufacturing of Asia could support the region’s economic growth as it could lose up to 30% of its gross domestic product by 2050 because of the rise in climate change.

According to its report, the region's solar photovoltaic manufacturing capacity in modules could reach 125 gigawatts (GW) to 150 GW by 2030 from 70 GW. It could also produce 140 GW-hours (GWh) to 180 GWh of battery cells by 2030.

Southeast Asia can also increase its assembly capacity for electric two-wheelers from 1.4 to 1.6 million units a year to around four million units by 2030.

The region’s production factors could benefit from trade across the value chain to improve workforce quality and distribution.

The ASEAN Power Grid could also boost the demands market, making room for higher renewables deployments and expanded grid balancing areas, it said.

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.
