Residential Segment to Occupy a Substantial Market Share of the Global Photovoltaic Materials Industry

Based on application, the residential segment is predicted to account for a significant market share in the photovoltaic materials industry. This increase can be attributed to the increased adoption of photovoltaic cells in the residential sector. The decreasing price of photovoltaic cells is a major factor contributing to the increased demand. The consumers are exceedingly adopting solar energy to meet their household electricity demands by installing photovoltaic cells on their rooftops. Moreover, many government initiatives offering tax rebates to PV cell users are further increasing its popularity among consumers. In addition, the growing consciousness pertaining to the environment is also driving consumers to increasingly invest in sustainable energy mechanisms. These aspects are predicted to bolster the market in the coming years.

 

The Asia Pacific to Account for a Considerable Market Share in the Global Photovoltaic Materials Industry

The Asia Pacific is estimated to hold a substantial share of the photovoltaic materials industry in the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the growing investments in sustainable energy generation by the governments in the region. In addition, the rising disposable income levels, improved standards of living, and the prospering public infrastructure such as the development of smart and green cities are also significant factors propelling the industry growth. According to the statistics provided by the International Renewable Energy Agency, the Asia Pacific, especially China, is predicted to dominate the solar PV market in terms of installation capacity, which is expected to grow beyond 50% by 2050.

 

Photovoltaic Materials: Market Segmentation

Photovoltaics is an emerging sustainable energy generation mechanism that is increasingly gaining prominence around the world. It refers to the conversion of solar energy into electricity with the help of photovoltaic materials, that is, semiconducting materials, which help to absorb the energy and transfer it to negatively charged particles known as electrons. Thus, the system charges the electrons to flow through the material in the form of an electric current extracted by the conductive metals, which further powers the electric grid, providing electricity to various electronic and electrical devices.
