Market Dynamics

Growing subsidies and solar energy policies 

The impact of solar energy policies and subsidies on solar industry is anticipated to be a potential opportunity for the global encapsulant material for PV module market. Encapsulants that shield photovoltaic (PV) modules from the elements and ensure long-term durability are in great demand due to the expanding usage of solar PV panels.It is projected that rising demand will propel market expansion in end-use sectors such as electronics, automotive, and renewable energy. 

Increasing use of renewable energy sources

The global market for solar encapsulation is expanding as a result of the increasing use of renewable energy sources to minimize reliance on fossil fuels. In addition, several nations have started or are in the midst of starting programs and initiatives, along with putting various environmental laws into place, to encourage the use of renewable energy, which is fueling the industry's expansion. Since a number of nations have begun to take the lead in developing the solar power industry, and since other nations are expected to follow suit, solar power is expected to account for a sizeable portion of the global energy mix during the projected period. Long-term demand for solar encapsulation materials is therefore anticipated to be driven by this.

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global encapsulant material for PV module market includes the following segments by material type, end-use, and application:

  • Based on material type, the market is sub-segmented into ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyolefins (PO), silicones, ethylene ionomers and others (ionomer, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)).
  • Based on end-use, the market is bifurcated into commercial, industrial and residential.
  • Based on application, the market is divided into monoficial PV module and bifacial PV module.

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

EVA hold major share in the global market. Currently, more than 80.0% of photovoltaic (PV) modules available today are covered by EVA. Due to its affordable cost and superior optical qualities, EVA is a copolymer that is frequently used to encapsulate solar modules. This thermoplastic polymer is utilized as an encapsulating agent in solar modules because it creates an insulating and sealing coating around the solar cells by heating the assembly. Its strong optical transmission, low water absorption qualities, high electrical resistance, low processing and cross-linking temperatures, superior adhesive capabilities, and high flexibility make it an attractive material utilized in solar modules.  

Monoficial PV Module Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

Monoficial module holds a considerable market share as producing and installing monofacial modules is less expensive than installing bifacial modules. Lower production costs are a result of the design's simplicity. Dueto their adaptability, monofacial modules have been positioned and oriented in many different ways. They can be used for a variety of purposes as they don't require any particular ground conditions or building configurations in order to capture rear-side sunlight. Monofacial modules simplify design, installation, and maintenance procedures; manufacturers, engineers, and installers have vast expertise with them.

Furthermore, it is simpler to forecast the energy output of monofacial modules and incorporate them into already-existing solar energy systems due to their well-established performance measures and standards. Monofacial modules are frequently used by investors, consumers, and regulatory agencies and have a significant market presence.

Regional Outlook

The global encapsulant material for PV module market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). 

European countries to invest in solar energies

  • Italy is witnessing large investments in solar energy infrastructure due to the country's focus on sustainable development and its attractive government incentives.
  • European region has a great development potential due to its rapid adoptionof renewable energy.

Global Encapsulant Material for PV Module Market Growth by Region 2024-2031

global encapsulant material for pv module market growth, by region

Asia-Pacific Holds Major Market Share

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to have the fastest CAGR during the forecast period and held the largest share in the global market. The rise of solar energy installations in the Asia-Pacific region is being driven by reasons such as the region's growing energy consumption, legislation that are supportive of the industry, and initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. With this rise has come an increase in the needs for encapsulant films to protect and improve the performance of solar panels. Asia-Pacific's developing nations, particularly China, are the world's primary solar panel manufacturers.

Furthermore, the export-focused approach fuels the need for encapsulant films to satisfy both local and global market demands. Solar power and other renewable energy sources are becoming more and more popular as people become more conscious of environmental issues and the need to reduce carbon emissions. The dependability and efficiency of solar installations are guaranteed by encapsulant films. Large sums of money are invested in solar energy infrastructure in the region. As solar projects are built and extended, this investment contributes to the growth of the encapsulant film industry.
