Report Description

Global thin film solar cell market is expected to grow at a steady CAGR during the forecast period. The global thin film solar cell market is driven by rising initiatives taken by the government toward grid integration of renewable technologies. Additionally, growing awareness pertaining to use of green energy coupled with regulatory measures for minimizing carbon emission is further expected to bolster the growth of market over the next few years.

The global thin film solar cell market is segmented based on type, installation, end user, company, and region. Based on type, the market can be categorized into cadmium telluride, amorphous thin-film silicon, and copper indium gallium diselenide. Out of which, the cadmium telluride segment dominated the market until 2021 and is expected to maintain its leading position in the market during the forecast period as well. This can be ascribed to the manufacturing of cadmium-telluride thin film solar cells at low costs, owing to the fact that cadmium can be generated as a by-product of mining, smelting, and refining of zinc, lead, and copper.

In terms of installation, the market is fragmented into on-grid and off-grid. Out of which, the off-grid segment is projected to grow at a high CAGR over the next 5 years on account of the increasing demand for reliable and uninterruptable electricity supply across developing economies.

The major players operating in the thin film solar cell market are Oxford Photovoltaics, Hankey Asia Ltd., Global Solar, Inc., Xunlight Kunshan Co. Ltd., Kaneka Corporation, First Solar, Ascent Solar Technologies Inc., MiaSole Hi-Tech Corp., Trony Solar, Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc., and others.
