2024年,全球薄膜太阳能电池市场规模达177亿美元。展望未来, IMARC Group预计到2033年,该市场规模将达到442亿美元,2025-2033年期间的复合年增长率(CAGR)为10.2%。由于民众对环境议题的日益关注,再生能源的普及是推动市场发展的主要动力。
政府部门加大力度
随着再生能源作为主要燃料的日益普及,薄膜太阳能电池市场正在经历显着成长。此外,各国政府部门正在采取措施,从长远来看减少温室气体排放并提高环境效益,这为全球薄膜太阳能电池市场创造了积极的前景。例如,印度政府于2024年2月启动了「屋顶太阳能/PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana」计画。根据“屋顶太阳能计划”,政府将为安装2千瓦以下太阳能电池板提供补贴,补贴标准为每千瓦3万卢比,额外安装3千瓦以下太阳能电池板则为每千瓦1.8万卢比。这项计画将减少对电网电力的依赖,从而节省成本。同样,美国能源部(DOE)太阳能技术办公室(SETO)于2023年9月发布了推进美国薄膜太阳能光伏发展的资助机会,为两项主要薄膜光伏(PV)技术的研发活动和示范项目拨款3600万美元。这些政策和激励措施正在推动太阳能板的普及,并扩大薄膜太阳能电池的市场份额。
将薄膜太阳能电池整合到建筑材料中
将薄膜太阳能电池整合到建筑材料中的新兴趋势,也称为建筑一体化光伏(BIPV),正在进一步催化市场的成长。这些薄膜越来越多地被应用于建筑材料,例如窗户、外墙和屋顶。薄膜太阳能电池具有设计灵活性,可与各种建筑材料甚至建筑的透明表面无缝整合。此外,建筑占全球能源消耗的近40%,因此为了最大限度地减少建筑能耗,BIPV被广泛采用,预计将为整个市场带来巨大的成长机会。此外,许多发展中国家的政府部门正在大力投资建造永续智慧城市,这将进一步推动薄膜太阳能电池的应用。
众多技术进步
许多创新,例如太阳能电池板效率的提高,使得可以从相同数量的阳光中产生更多的电力,正在成为其他重要的成长诱导因素。各种主要市场参与者都在大量投资于先进太阳能电池的生产,这对市场成长产生了积极影响。例如,佛蒙特大学的美国衍生公司Verde Technologies致力于开发轻质灵活的钙钛矿太阳能电池组件,该公司在与位于康涅狄格州的合约製造商Verico Technology进行的试点中,其薄膜涂层技术取得了进展。此外,用于製造薄膜太阳能电池的半导体铜铟镓硒(CIGS)在实验室环境下的效率已达到21.7%,在现场的效率达到18.7%,这使CIGS成为替代电池材料中的领导者和薄膜技术中有前途的半导体材料。预计这些创新将在未来几年进一步推动薄膜太阳能电池市场的成长。
The global thin film solar cell market size reached USD 17.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 44.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% during 2025-2033. The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources due to the rising environmental concerns among the masses is primarily driving the market.
Increasing Initiatives by Government Authorities
The thin film solar cell market is witnessing significant growth, owing to the rising adoption of renewable energy as a primary fuel. In addition to this, government authorities of various nations are taking initiatives to minimize greenhouse emissions and increase environmental benefits in the long run, which is creating a positive outlook for the global thin film solar cell market. For instance, in February 2024, the Government of India launched the Rooftop Solar/PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Under the Rooftop Solar Scheme, the government will provide subsidies for installing solar panels for up to 2 kW - Rs. 30,000 per kW and additional capacity up to 3 kW - Rs. 18,000 per kW. This installation will decrease reliance on grid-connected electricity, leading to cost savings. Similarly, in September 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) released the advancing U.S. thin-film solar photovoltaics funding opportunity, which awarded US$ 36 Million for R&D activities and demonstration projects on two major thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies. These policies and incentives are bolstering the adoption of solar panels and increasing the thin film solar cell market share.
Integration of Thin Film Solar Cells into Building Materials
The emerging trend towards the integration of thin-film solar cells into building materials, also known as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), is further catalyzing the growth of the market. These films are increasingly being utilized in building materials, such as windows, facades, and roofs. Thin film solar cells offer design flexibility and can seamlessly integrate with various building materials and even with transparent surfaces of the building. Moreover, building accounts for almost 40% of global energy consumption, so in order to minimize this, BIPVs are widely being adopted, which is anticipated to offer significant growth opportunities to the overall market. Additionally, various government authorities of numerous developing nations are investing extensively in the development of sustainable and smart cities which will further propel the application of thin film solar cells.
Numerous Technological Advancements
Numerous innovations, such as advancements in the efficiency of solar panels, which enable more electricity to be generated from the same amount of sunlight, are acting as other significant growth-inducing factors. Various key market players are extensively investing in the production of advanced solar cells, which is positively impacting the market growth. For instance, Verde Technologies, a U.S.-based spinoff of the University of Vermont, developing lightweight and flexible perovskite solar modules, has made progress with its thin film coating technology in a pilot with Verico Technology, a contract manufacturer located in Connecticut. Moreover, Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), a type of semiconductor used to manufacture thin-film solar cells, has reached 21.7% efficiency in laboratory settings and 18.7% efficiency in the field, making CIGS a leader among alternative cell materials and a promising semiconducting material in thin-film technologies. Such innovations are anticipated to further drive the thin film solar cell market growth in the coming years.
Cadmium telluride accounts for the majority of the global market share
Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin film solar cells are manufactured at low costs, as cadmium can be generated as a byproduct of mining, smelting, and refining of zinc, lead, and copper. Among all solar energy technologies, cadmium telluride requires the least amount of water for production. CdTe thin-film PV solar cells have higher cell efficiencies up to 16.7% than other thin-film technologies. Moreover, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the United States has been at the forefront of research and development (R&D) in this area.
On-grid currently exhibits a clear dominance in the market
On-grid systems are gaining traction, owing to their cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and the ability to use the grid as a virtual battery, thereby eliminating the need for energy storage in batteries. Consequently, government bodies are also encouraging the use of on-grid thin film solar cells, which is augmenting the market growth in this segment.
Currently, the utility sector holds the largest market share
Based on the end user, the global thin film solar cell market can be bifurcated into residential, commercial, and utility. Currently, the utility sector holds the largest market share.
The utility sector can be further categorized into military, power plant applications, defense, and industrial applications. Thin film solar cells are widely used in the utility sector, owing to their higher electricity generation at a lower cost. Thin film solar cells are widely adopted to build large-scale solar farms, where vast areas are covered with solar panels to generate electricity. These solar farms can be connected to the utility grid to provide electricity to various industries.
Asia-Pacific currently dominates the global market
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America (United States and Canada), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia and Others), Europe (Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia and Others), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico and Others), and Middle East and Africa. According to the report, Asia-Pacific currently dominates the global market.
Asia-Pacific dominated the market across the world with the majority of the demand coming from the countries, such as China and Japan. This can be attributed to the increasing deployment of solar panels in utility-scale, commercial, and residential applications.
In 2018, China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) had written a draft policy that would increase the renewable energy target from 20% to 35%, by 2030. This, in turn, will augment the demand for thin film solar cells in the country. Around 40 GW of new renewable capacity was connected to the grid in 2019, with around 50% of the new capacity expected to come from large-scale solar plants. With factors, such as the upcoming utility-scale project, along with supportive policies and subsidies, the thin-film solar PV market in the Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecasted period.
