Market Overview:
The global solar ingot wafer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for solar energy across the globe. Solar ingot wafers are used in the manufacture of solar cells and modules, which are used in various applications such as aerospace & defense, automotive, electronic equipment, and others. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period owing to rising investments in renewable energy sources by countries such as China and India.
Product Definition:
Solar Ingot Wafer is a thin sheet of semiconductor material, made by slicing a thick block of semiconductor material, such as silicon, into very thin wafers. Solar ingot wafers are typically used to make solar cells and solar panels. The importance of solar ingot wafer is that it is the foundation for manufacturing most photovoltaic devices.
Monocrystalline:
Monocrystalline wafers are made from pure silicon and possess a single crystal structure. These crystals have a thickness of around 0.5-1mm, depending on the application. The production process involves melting of solid material at a very high temperature to produce liquid, which is then cast into an mold to obtain the desired shape and size for further processing in semiconductor devices or solar ingot wafers market.
Polycrystalline:
Polycrystalline is a type of material that consists of many small crystals aligned in a single direction. It has high thermal conductivity and specific heat, which makes it very useful for solar ingot wafer production. The growing demand for renewable energy is expected to be the key driver for this market over the forecast period.
The global polycrystalline market size was valued at USD 2,867 million in 2015.
Application Insights:
The solar ingot wafer market is segmented on the basis of application into aerospace & defense, automotive, electronics and other applications. The other applications include energy, construction and industrial machinery. The automotive sector accounted for a share of over 30% in 2017 owing to increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Moreover, growing emphasis towards reducing carbon emissions coupled with rising awareness regarding renewable energy sources such as solar is expected to drive the global solar ingot wafer market over the forecast period.
The use of photovoltaic cells in building design has increased significantly since 2010 due to declining prices of PV modules and an increase in consumer interest toward sustainable development.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global solar ingot wafer market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of major players, availability of cheap labor, high growth rate in key markets such as China and India are some factors driving regional growth. In addition, growing awareness about renewable energy generation is anticipated to further drive demand for solar cells from countries such as Japan and South Korea.
The European region accounted for a significant share owing to the presence of major aircraft manufacturers including Airbus S.A., Rolls-Royce Group Plc., Dassault Aviation SA, Safran Group; prominent defense equipment manufacturers including BAE Systems Plc.; automotive giants including BMW AG; Siemens AG along with other small & medium enterprises (SMEs). These companies are focusing on manufacturing products using sustainable materials which will propel product demand over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for solar energy: The global demand for solar energy is increasing rapidly due to the growing awareness of the benefits of renewable energy sources and concerns about climate change. This is driving the growth of the solar ingot wafer market.
- Declining prices of solar panels: The prices of solar panels are declining due to advancements in technology and increased production capacity. This is making it more affordable for consumers to install rooftop photovoltaic systems, which is driving the growth of the solar ingot wafer market.
- Government incentives and subsidies: Governments around the world are providing incentives and subsidies for installing rooftop photovoltaic systems, which is promoting wider adoption of solar energy and driving growth in the Solar Ingot Wafer market . For example, in India, there are a number government schemes that provide financial assistance for installing rooftop PV systems such as Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (PMSBHY) scheme launched by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018 under which households with annual income up to Rs 12 lakh can get interest-free loans up to Rs 2 lakhs to install a rooftop PV system .
