2025年,全球薄膜太陽能電池市場規模達195億美元。展望未來,IMARC Group預測,2026年至2034年間,該市場將以9.80%的複合年成長率成長,到2034年達到462億美元。成長要素是,由於大眾對環境問題的日益關注,可再生能源的普及率不斷提高。
政府當局加大力度
隨著可再生能源日益普及並成為主要能源來源,薄膜太陽能電池市場正經歷顯著成長。此外,世界各國政府都在努力減少溫室氣體排放,並提升長期環境效益,為全球薄膜太陽能電池市場帶來了光明的前景。例如,印度政府於2024年2月啟動了「屋頂光電/總理太陽能家庭簡易電力計畫」(Rooftop Photovoltaic/PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana)。根據該計劃,政府為安裝2千瓦以下太陽能板提供每千瓦3萬盧比的補貼,並為額外增加至3千瓦容量的每千瓦1.8萬盧比的補貼。此舉將減少對併網電力的依賴,從而節省成本。同樣,2023年9月,美國能源局太陽能技術管理局(SETO)宣布了「美國薄膜太陽能電池發展計畫」的資助機會,撥款3,600萬美元用於與兩項關鍵薄膜光伏(PV)技術相關的研發活動和示範計畫。這些政策和獎勵促進了太陽能板的普及,從而擴大了薄膜太陽能電池的市場佔有率。
將薄膜太陽能電池整合到建材中
將薄膜太陽能電池整合到建築材料中,即所謂的建築一體化光伏發電(BIPV),是一種正在加速市場成長的新趨勢。這些薄膜正擴大應用於門窗、外牆和屋頂等建築材料。薄膜太陽能電池具有設計柔軟性,可無縫整合到各種建築材料甚至建築物的透明表面中。此外,建築業約佔全球能源消耗的40%,BIPV正被廣泛採用以最大限度地減少能源消耗。預計這將為整個市場創造巨大的成長機會。此外,許多開發中國家的政府正在大力投資建造永續智慧城市,這將進一步促進薄膜太陽能電池的應用。
眾多技術進步
許多創新,例如太陽能板效率的提升(使得在相同光照條件下能夠產生更多電力),正成為推動市場成長的重要動力。主要市場參與者正大力投資先進太陽能電池的生產,這對市場成長產生了積極影響。例如,總部位於美國的佛蒙特大學衍生公司Verde Technologies,致力於開發輕質軟性鈣鈦礦太陽能電池組件,該公司與康乃狄克州的契約製造製造商Verico Technology合作開展先導計畫,在薄膜塗層技術方面取得了進展。此外,用於製造薄膜太陽能電池的半導體材料銅銦鎵硒(CIGS)在實驗室條件下實現了21.7%的轉換效率,在實際應用中也達到了18.7%,這使得CIGS在眾多替代電池材料中主導,成為薄膜技術領域極具發展前景的半導體材料。預計這些創新技術將在未來幾年進一步推動薄膜太陽能電池市場的成長。
The global thin film solar cell market size reached USD 19.5 Billion in 2025. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 46.2 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.80% during 2026-2034. 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.
