Photovoltaic Materials Market–Market Overview

Globally, photovoltaic materials market was valued at USD 50 billion in 2020 and is likely to reach USD 124.2 billion in 2030, expanding at CAGR of 8.5% between 2020 and 2030. This is attributed to the growing concerns regarding depleting natural resource and increasing carbon footprint has driven the innovation in the field of green energy. On the backdrop of increasing pollution resulted from overutilization of non-renewable energy sources the need for green source of energy is strongly felt by the world. In addition to this, with rapid industrialization, emerging economies in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa are craving for energy. Moreover, Paris Agreement, Marrakesh Treaty, and other climate pacts are propelling the countries to adopt greener energy solutions.  Additionally, with rising awareness about green trends, the future will lie in technologies that offer enhanced energy-efficient solutions at a low cost. Manufacturers who offer products with optimum performance while remaining price-orientated will be poised to gain substantial market share. However, the market will be effected due to PV materials as they are most expensive form of renewable energy today, the feedstock problem and technologically limitations of crystalline cells. Owing to this the market will be hindered for the forecasted period.
