The global solar tracker market is projected to surge from USD 10.32 billion in 2024 to USD 22.87 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 17.3%, driven by AI-enabled systems, bifacial solar modules, and increased land use efficiency. The utility sector dominates, buoyed by large-scale solar projects and favorable policies. Single-axis trackers lead in efficiency and cost-effectiveness, while North America’s growth is fueled by renewables incentives. Key players like Nextracker Inc. and Array Technologies drive innovation, with the market benefitting from smart technologies and declining costs, bolstering solar energy adoption worldwide.
Dublin, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Solar Tracker Market by Axis Type (Single-axis, Dual-axis), Type (Grid-connected, Off-grid), Application (Utility, Non-utility), Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, Middle East & Africa) - Global Forecast to 2029" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global solar tracker market is poised for significant growth, with projections estimating its value to climb from USD 10.32 billion in 2024 to USD 22.87 billion by 2029, reflecting a robust CAGR of 17.3% during the forecast period.
This growth trajectory is largely driven by technological advancements in AI-enabled tracking systems, a push for optimized land use, and the integration of bifacial solar modules. The increased durability and reduced maintenance costs of modern trackers enhance their viability, while the global focus on energy resilience supports their adoption, particularly in disaster-prone and remote regions.
Utility Segment Leads by Application
The utility segment dominated the solar tracker market in 2023, attributed to the deployment of large-scale solar power plants aimed at meeting rising electricity demand and achieving clean energy goals. Utilities prioritize solar trackers to maximize energy efficiency and optimize project economics, especially in areas with high solar irradiation.
Supportive government incentives, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and favorable grid integration policies further promote investments in utility-scale solar projects. Decreasing solar technology costs and innovations in tracker design make these projects increasingly efficient and financially viable, leveraging economies of scale for enhanced cost-effectiveness.
Single-Axis Trackers Dominate Axis Types
The single-axis tracker segment sustains a strong market position due to its cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and efficacy in utility-scale deployments. These trackers, which allow panels to follow the sun's path from east to west, enhance energy output versus fixed-tilt systems. They are particularly fitting for large ground-mounted applications where optimizing land use and energy generation is paramount. Investors favor their lower operational and maintenance costs, with adoption accelerating in emerging markets amid supportive policies and rising renewable energy demand.
Notable Growth in North America
North America is anticipated to record the second-highest CAGR in the solar tracker market, fueled by advancements, supportive policies, and a growing desire for renewable energy. The United States and Canada spearhead growth initiatives through substantial investments supported by federal and state-level incentives, tax credits, and renewable mandates.
The prevalence of single-axis trackers in states like Texas and California highlights their cost-effectiveness and potential for enhanced energy yield. The integration of bifacial solar modules with tracking systems is gaining momentum, reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) while boosting efficiency.
Additionally, North America's focus on grid modernization and expanding smart grid infrastructure supports the deployment of solar trackers. With key industry players embedded in the region and ongoing R&D efforts, innovation is consistently fostered, reinforcing market growth as North America advances its clean energy objectives.
