See the Clean Technology Industry Landscape in Context

The transition to a lower-carbon economy is reshaping technologies, markets and global supply chains. As new technologies scale, understanding their development increasingly means looking beyond technology alone. 
 
Material availability, production costs, supply chains, market demand and policy are all influencing how clean technologies develop and compete. 

Changes in raw material availability can influence production costs and technology competitiveness, while shifts in regulation, supply chains or demand can affect investment, deployment and growth across related value chains.  

CRU brings together expertise across these areas, providing the independent intelligence organisations need to understand the clean technology landscape and make better informed decisions. 

Why a Connected Market View Matters

Decisions made in one part of the clean technology value chain can have significant implications elsewhere. Changes in raw material availability, manufacturing capacity, policy, trade flows, policy and technology adoption can all influence costs, competitiveness and investment outcomes. 

By combining expertise across clean technologies, commodities and supply chains, CRU helps organisations understand not only what is happening in their market, but why it is happening and what it means for future decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

CRU’s market intelligence for clean technology provides analysis across the technologies, costs markets and value chains supporting the energy transition, with coverage spanning battery technology and costs, the battery value chain, energy storage, specialty phosphates and solar technology.

Clean technology markets are assessed by examining the technology alongside the costs, materials, supply chains and market dynamics that influence its development and competitiveness. CRU’s specialist solutions provide focused analysis across these factors within the specific technologies and value chains they cover.

Clean technology costs are influenced by factors including technology design, raw material inputs, manufacturing processes and supply-chain dynamics including demand drivers. The importance of each factor varies by technology and stage of the value chain. CRU provides specialist technology and cost analysis across battery, energy storage and solar markets.

Raw materials are important to clean technologies because their availability, cost and supply dynamics can directly influence manufacturing economics and the development of downstream technologies. CRU combines clean technology expertise with its broader understanding of commodity markets and value chains to connect technology developments with the material markets that support them.

Clean technology market intelligence can include analysis of technology development, costs, value chains, supply chains, and wider market dynamics including comparative electricity generation costs across technologies and geographies. CRU’s Clean Technology Solutions provide dedicated coverage across battery technology and costs, the battery value chain, energy storage, specialty phosphates and solar technology.
