Market Overview:
The global photovoltaic glass market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 10% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for solar energy across the globe. In addition, government initiatives and subsidies for installation of solar panels are also fueling the growth of this market. The poly-crystalline segment is expected to dominate the global photovoltaic glass market during the forecast period, owing to its low cost as compared to other types of PV glasses. However, mono-crystalline PV glasses are witnessing a higher growth rate due their high efficiency and longer lifespan as compared to poly-crystalline PV glasses. Thin film PV glasses are also growing at a fast pace due their low manufacturing costs and easy installation process. Commercial applications dominated the global photovoltaic glass market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance duringthe forecast period as well.
Product Definition:
Photovoltaic glass is a type of glass designed to facilitate the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy. Photovoltaic glass is important because it can be used to create solar panels, which are devices that convert sunlight into electrical energy.
Poly-Crystalline:
Poly-crystalline silicon is the most dominant PV glass type and accounts for more than 80% of global market volume. It has high absorption coefficient as compared to monocrystalline and polycrystalline grades, which results in higher energy yield. Furthermore, it possesses low weight percent as well as lower cost per watt compared to its counterparts making it a preferred choice among manufacturers across the globe.
Mono-Crystalline:
Mono-crystalline PV glass is a type of crystalline silicon wafer that has an extremely high melting point. It has the ability to absorb more light than polycrystalline and low-crystalline PV glasses, making it ideal for use in thin film solar cells. The material possesses properties such as high purity, low defects, and ultrahigh temperature which make it suitable for various applications including power stations along with consumer electronics devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Application Insights:
The commercial application segment accounted for the largest share of more than 50% in 2017. The growing demand for solar energy in countries, such as Japan, China and India to meet rising electricity needs is expected to propel the growth over the forecast period.
Residential application is projected to be fastest-growing segment owing to increasing government support & subsidies coupled with feed-in tariff schemes that offer financial benefits for installing photovoltaic systems on homes. In addition, rapid urbanization along with rising living standards has created a high demand for residential buildings which are primarily used as an effective medium of generating electricity through solar power plants or PV system on roofs. This trend is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Industrial applications include manufacturing facilities, data centers and others such as sports stadiums and arenas that require large scale photovoltaic installations due to increased energy costs along with environmental benefits associated with renewable sources of energy generation such as wind power.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share of over 35% in 2016. The region is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period owing to increasing installation of photovoltaic systems across commercial and residential sectors. China, India, South Korea, Japan are some of the countries with high PV glass production capacity and consumption in this region.
North America is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regional markets from 2017 to 2030 due to growing awareness about environmental protection along with technological advancements such as miniaturization and cost-effective manufacturing processes used for polycrystalline silicon based products. Moreover, presence of supportive government policies aimed at reducing carbon footprint by promoting renewable energy sources will drive industry growth over coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for renewable energy: The global increase in awareness about the benefits of using renewable energy is one of the primary growth drivers for the photovoltaic glass market. Governments and private organizations are investing in research and development to find new ways to use solar power as a source of energy, which is expected to create opportunities for photovoltaic glass manufacturers in the near future.
- Technological advancements: The continuous advancement in technology has led to the development of more efficient and affordable photovoltaic glass products, thereby driving market growth. In addition, growing investments by key players into R&D activities are likely to result in further innovations that could boost demand for these products over the next few years.
- Rising concerns over climate change: The increasing concerns over climate change and its impact on human health and environment have led many governments across the globe to promote clean energy initiatives, which is benefiting the overall photovoltaic glass market growth rate significantly. This trend is likely to continue during forecast period as well, thus propelling demand for these products even further.
