[199 Pages Report] The Artificial Photosynthesis Market size was estimated at USD 79.31 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 90.28 million in 2024, at a CAGR 14.58% to reach USD 205.71 million by 2030.
Artificial photosynthesis refers to the process of replicating the natural phenomenon of photosynthesis, the method by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into energy in the form of glucose and oxygen. The primary aim of artificial photosynthesis is to generate sustainable and environmentally friendly sources of energy that can be utilized as an alternative to fossil fuels. This innovative approach has garnered significant attention worldwide due to its potential applications in resolving current energy challenges such as climate change, energy security concerns, and depletion of non-renewable resources. Artificial photosynthesis offers a promising solution through its ability to produce solar fuels that can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while generating electricity. Developments in nanotechnology have enabled researchers to create efficient photocatalysts that can facilitate chemical reactions necessary for artificial photosynthesis processes. However, a limitation associated with artificial photosynthesis commercialization is related to scalability, as most successful artificial photosynthesis systems demonstrated so far have only been feasible at small scales in laboratory settings. Market players are working on scaling up these technologies for larger industrial applications while maintaining high efficiency levels.
Additionally, existing systems often rely on expensive materials such as platinum or other rare metals, which may not be economically viable for large-scale deployment. Researchers are developing new materials that mimic natural plant structures at the molecular level, potentially leading to more efficient and cost-effective photovoltaic cells. Additionally, integration with other renewable energy technologies, such as wind and hydroelectric power, can further optimize the potential of artificial photosynthesis. The adoption of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence(AI) techniques offers opportunities for accelerating the discovery of novel materials and optimization processes in this field.
