Photovoltaic Glass Market is reflective of a CAGR of 27.3% during the forecast period 2018 – 2026

Increasing focus on green energy brought about by a rising awareness of the current environmental depletion is shifting the focus of global governments towards renewable sources of energy for the generation of electricity. Solar energy generation is witnessing widespread acceptance across the world and this has created a positive impact on the market for solar technologies such as photovoltaic modules. According to a new research publication by Persistence Market Research, the long-term outlook on the global photovoltaic glass market is expected to remain positive, with the market value projected to increase from US$ 4,905.9 Mn in 2017 to a whopping US$ 41,757.3 Mn by the end of 2026. This is reflective of a CAGR of 27.3% during the forecast period 2018 – 2026.

The development of off-grid electricity systems presents huge growth opportunities for photovoltaic glass manufacturers. With over a billion of the world’s population having no access to electricity, off-grid technology is being looked upon as the most viable solution to resolving the electricity issues in deep pockets across key developing countries in the world. This includes provision of basic lighting and heating services to some of the remote corners of the world where grid connections are not feasible. Solar energy is a major source of renewable energy to deploy off-grid electricity systems and countries such as China and a few countries in the South East Asia Pacific region have leveraged the potential of small-scale solar technology applications to provide electricity to citizens in remote rural areas. Integration of solar energy systems with power grids has metamorphosed from the simplified traditional unidirectional generator model transmitting and distributing power to consumers, to a more complex model with distributed generator systems in an electricity grid.

The global photovoltaic glass market is characterized by the presence of prominent Tier-1 and Tier-2 companies in the organized sector, which holds about 77% of the global market share. Increasing demand from end-use sectors is pushing key players to strategize speedy geographical expansion especially in developing economies.
