Market landscapeFurther distinctions can be made at the market level (see Figure 3). China and the US make up a first market tier in terms of company population and market capitalization. While the US has the largest number of companies (73), China has the greatest market capitalization (US$60.1 billion). China’s company headcount is also several times larger than that of any other market.

Germany and Canada form another tier in terms of company population, with 44 pure-play cleantech companies each.

A third tier is composed of markets with fewer than 30 companies. Spain is an outlier in this group for its high aggregate market

capitalization, due to Iberdrola Renovables, the pure-play cleantech company with the highest market capitalization.

Despite its large company population, the United States has not yet produced many market-leading companies in terms of market capitalization. Only one American company is on the list of top 10 companies by market capitalization (see Figure 4). In contrast, three Chinese companies are on the list.

Cleantech companies by segment: solar predominatesThe rapid scaling of the global solar industry becomes evident when analyzing the cleantech company population by segment. The 102 solar companies constitute the largest share — just over
