According to a newly published report by Research Nester on “Thin Film Photovoltaic Module Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2027” delivers detailed overview of the global thin film photovoltaic module market in terms of market segmentation by type, by component, by application and by region.

Further, for the in-depth analysis, the report encompasses the industry growth drivers, restraints, supply and demand risk, market attractiveness, BPS analysis and Porter’s five force model.

Differences between standard silicon panels and thin panels

Thin film panels are made with solar cells that have light absorbing layers about 350 times smaller than that of a standard silicon panel. Because of its narrow design and the efficient semi-conductor built into their cells, thin film solar cells are the lightest and durable PV cell. Factors such as carbon offset, efficiency, roof space and installation cost distinguishes thin film from standard solar panels. In terms of carbon offset, the emissions required to create a thin film cell and panel are much lower than mono or polycrystalline panels. Owing to these factors, the global thin film photovoltaic market is anticipated to record a CAGR of 32% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027.

Furthermore, installation cost differs considerably between thin film and typical PV, reason being thin film panels are very easy to install and require much less labor. Factors, such as increasing population, advancement in technology, rapid industrialization in emerging markets (such as India and China), rising standard of living, and globalization are driving the global demand.

On the basis of regional analysis, the thin film photovoltaic module market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. North America and Europe are anticipated to lead the market owing to early adoption of these technologies. European region is expected to be driven by countries such as Italy, Germany and Spain on account of growing demand for solar energy.

Asia Pacific is also expected to register significant growth on back of increasing adoption of semiconductors in the electronics industry. Emerging markets such as China, India are expected to show their presence.
