Based on material, the crystalline solar cells industry is anticipated to cross over USD 37 billion by 2032, on account of high efficiency and low costs. The technology is well-established leading to reliable, efficient, and cost-effective products. Continued advancements in monocrystalline technology lead to higher efficiency rates, often exceeding 20% for commercially available panels, leading to enhanced product adoption across limited spaces. Additionally, introduction of PERC technology has further enhanced the efficiency of crystalline solar cells by improving the light absorption and reducing electron recombination, thereby contributing to the business scenario.
Based on technology, the monocrystalline segment is set to grow at a CAGR of over 3% through 2032, on account of being the most efficient type of silicon-based solar cells, with efficiencies typically ranging from 18% to over 22%. Innovations such as Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) technology, heterojunction technology (HJT), and N-type silicon have further boosted the efficiency and performance of the technology. Further, improvements in manufacturing processes, economies of scale, and competition within the solar industry will lower the costs, thereby augmenting the industry landscape.
Asia Pacific solar cells market is predicted to hit USD 39 billion by 2032, driven by strong governmental policies, incentives, and a focus on high-efficiency solar technology. Growing adoption across developing economies requiring reliable power generation is set to drive the business scenario. Countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines are experiencing rapid growth in solar adoption. Ongoing rural electrification projects across Southeast Asia providing power to off-grid communities along with growing large-scale solar farms and hybrid projects combining solar with wind and battery storage will complement the industry landscape.
