The PV glass market size was valued at USD 5.88 Billion in 2020 and projected to reach USD 37.49 Billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 30.3% during the forecast period, 2020-2027.
Growing demand for solar systems in emerging economies like residential, commercial and utility-scale and increasing installation of a utility-scale solar power plant across the globe. This, in turn, is anticipated to contribute to the PV glass market growth in the forecast period.
Moreover, rising government investments and supportive government regulations towards installing solar PV plants propel the growth of the global PV glass market in the upcoming years.
Additionally, rising awareness regarding the benefits of renewable energy solutions such as less global warming, inexhaustible energy, reliability and many others and technological advancements in the solar PV glass industry is anticipated to drive the global growth of the PV glass market.
Photovoltaic (PV) glass is a technology that enables solar cells to convert solar energy into electricity. PV glass uses the same principle as solar panels. By absorbing sunlight and using that light energy to create an electric current, PV cells generate electricity. It is highly popular and is installed within roofs, windows, and facades of buildings to produce power for an entire building.
There is a major growth opportunity for photovoltaic glass manufacturers in the global market due to the development of off-grid electricity systems. Off-grid technology is one of the most feasible solutions to resolve electricity issues across the world. This will fuel the growth of the global PV glass market.
However, the major factor restraining the growth of the global PV glass market is the high cost associated with the purchase, storage and installation of solar PV glass and large dependence on climatic conditions.
Factors such as a boost in demand for renewable energy and a surge in demand for solar systems in various applications drive the market growth for PV glass. Additionally, rising global urbanization and the increasing need for better infrastructures had created several opportunities for the PV glass market in the Pre-covid era.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global public health disease that has brought serious social, medical and economic challenges in every industry. WHO has declared COVID-19 a public health emergency. The spread of COVID-19 is generating an enormous disruption in the everyday activities of people. As coronavirus crises took over the world and led to curfews and lockdown, which impacted many businesses worldwide, countries across the globe are trying to prevent further contagion by adopting various measures such as social distancing, testing, quarantine, and many others.
COVID-19 pandemic has affected the growth of the PV glass market due to the worldwide lockdown, supply disruptions and economic challenges. Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019 resulted in a decrease in the demand for the PV glass market across several sectors. Therefore, with the explosion of the COVID-19, the market will grow at a low rate for PV glass across the globe, which has negatively impacted the PV glass market value in 2020 and subsequent years.
The PV glass market is segregated into anti-reflective coated glass, TCO glass, tempered glass, and other types based on the type.
The anti-reflective coated glass segment is likely to have the highest market share in the type segment for the PV glass market. However, the tempered glass segment is projected to grow with a higher CAGR throughout the forecast period since most solar panels are made of tempered glass. Tempered glass is much stronger than any other glass and is shattered into thousands of small pieces. When broken, that won’t be harmful.
Based on the application, the PV glass market is bifurcated into utility, residential, and non-residential.
The utility segment will dominate the PV glass market by 2027. This is because utility-scale solar plants offer several benefits, such as less energy loss and fixed price electricity when fossil fuels are expensive during peak demand periods.
However, the residential segment is projected to grow with a higher CAGR throughout the forecast period.
The PV glass market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa.
The Asia Pacific is estimated to project considerable growth over 2020-2026. Due to the surge in demand for solar energy, a rapid rise in the development of renewable power and supportive initiatives undertaken by the government in the region.
However, Europe will have a prominent share in the PV glass market by 2027, owing to the rapidly increasing rising population and development of infrastructure in the region.
