리포트목차　　　　주문/문의　　　　납기/라이센스안내

The thin-film photovoltaic market is projected to grow from USD 5.3 billion in 2023 to USD 11.2 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 16.0% during the forecast period. Some of the major factors driving the growth of the thin-film photovoltaic market include the increasing government initiatives towards thin-film solar cells and the growing adoption of thin-film solar cells in residential applications.

However, competition from traditional crystalline silicon solar cells act as a challenge for the market in the future. The major growth opportunities for the market players are ongoing technologies/material development in thin-film solar cell manufacturing.

“Market for Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) have the highest share during the forecast period”
The cadmium telluride (CdTe) segment of the thin-film photovoltaic market is expected to account for the highest CAGR in the forecast period. Among all solar panel varieties, CdTe has the lowest carbon footprint, water need, and energy payback period. It also shares the same low-cost advantage as polycrystalline cells. Further, the increasing investment in this material is driving the market growth. Recently in August 2022, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced its investment of USD 20 million toward the R&D of CDTE-based thin-film PV modules through a newly setup CdTe Accelerator Consortium (CTAC) to increase cell efficiencies of CDTE-based solar panels from 22to 24% by 2025 and above 26% by 2030 while steadily reducing the per-watt cost of manufacturing.

“Utilities end user had the highest share in 2023”
The utility segment held the largest market share in 2023, and a similar trend is expected during the forecast period. The solar power plants are environmentally friendly; therefore, governments across several countries promote the installation of such plants. Thus, governments’ special schemes and financial support for the installation of solar power projects are expected to boost the demand for PV systems to be instaslled for utility applications during the forecast period.

“North America to witness the second highest growth among other regions during forecast period”
North America is expected to dominate the thin-film photovoltaic market during the forecast period. The governments in the US, and Canada have taken several initiatives, such as the National Community Solar Partnership and Climate Action Incentive Fund, to promote the use of PV modules in North America. A few key players in the photovoltaic market in North America such as First Solar (US). The region is also home to several solar tracker providers, such as NEXTracker (US), AllEarth Renewables (US), and Array Technologies (US).
