價格

根據Stratistics MRC預測,2023年全球太陽能電池封裝市場規模將達34.7億美元,預計2030年將達到68.6億美元,預測期內複合年成長率為10.2%。

太陽能電池封裝涉及用保護材料封裝太陽能電池以保護其免受環境因素的影響。此過程可保護太陽能板免受濕氣、灰塵、紫外線和機械損壞,從而提高太陽能電池板的耐用性和性能。乙烯醋酸乙烯酯 (EVA) 和聚乙烯丁醛(PVB) 等封裝有助於延長太陽能模組的使用壽命並最佳化其電氣性能。

根據聯合國報告,2005年至2030年間,能源需求預計將增加55%,從114億噸石油當量增加到177億噸石油當量。

對可再生能源的需求增加

對太陽能等再生能源來源的需求不斷成長是太陽能電池封裝市場的關鍵促進因素。隨著世界越來越關注永續性和減少碳排放,對高效能太陽能解決方案的需求不斷增加。太陽能電池封裝在保護太陽能電池板免受環境因素影響並確保耐用性和性能方面發揮著重要作用。隨著住宅和商業部門尋求可靠、長期的可再生能源解決方案,需求激增。

回收太陽能封裝的複雜性

回收太陽能電池封裝的複雜性是太陽能電池封裝市場的主要限制。儘管太陽能電池板因其永續性而受到認可,但封裝的複雜性質使回收過程變得複雜。這些材料通常由多層和複合物組成,使得它們難以有效分離和回收。因此,這種複雜性增加了回收成本,降低了回收舉措的整體可行性,阻礙了市場成長。

太陽能電池效率的技術進步

效率的提高意味著太陽能電池板可以產生更多的電力,從而推動對封裝材料的需求,以保護太陽能電池並保持性能。隨著太陽能電池技術變得更加高效,對創新封裝解決方案的需求日益成長,以確保太陽能電池板的耐用性、壽命和最佳性能。這一趨勢為太陽能封裝行業的公司利用對高性能材料不斷成長的需求鋪平了道路。

原物料價格波動

原物料價格波動對太陽能電池封裝市場構成重大威脅。乙烯醋酸乙烯酯 (EVA) 和玻璃等原料是重要組成部分,因此價格波動可能會影響製造成本和利潤率。這種波動導致太陽能電池板製造商的定價不確定性,影響競爭力和盈利。此外,價格突然上漲可能會趕走潛在投資者並減緩行業成長。

COVID-19 的影響:

COVID-19 的爆發擾亂了供應鏈、推遲了計劃進度,並因經濟不確定性而減少了需求,從而影響了太陽能電池封裝市場。停工和監管阻礙了製造和安裝活動,導致計劃延誤。然而,對可再生能源的日益關注和復甦努力正在刺激復甦,預計市場將隨著全球經濟復甦而復甦。

乙烯醋酸乙烯酯 (EVA) 領域預計在預測期內規模最大

乙烯醋酸乙烯(EVA)領域預計將在預測期內主導太陽能電池封裝市場,因為它廣泛用於太陽能電池模組的製造。 EVA 作為一種重要的封裝,為太陽能板提供絕緣性、黏合性和耐用性。其優異的透光性以及對玻璃和太陽能電池的黏合性等特性使其成為模組封裝的首選。此外,EVA 配方的進步提高了耐用性和效率,進一步增強了其市場優勢。

薄膜太陽能電池技術領域預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高

在太陽能電池封裝市場中,薄膜太陽能電池技術領域預計在預測期內將呈現顯著的成長速度。這是由於輕量化設計、彈性以及與傳統矽晶型組件相比材料成本更低等因素。此外,薄膜技術的進步提高了效率和耐用性,推動了太陽能建築一體化(BIPV)、消費性電子產品和可攜式電源解決方案等各種應用的採用,從而推動了市場成長。

佔比最大的地區:

在預測期內,由於多種因素,預計亞太地區將主導太陽能電池封裝市場。該地區快速的工業化、都市化和對可再生能源的日益關注正在顯著推動太陽能電池板的需求。此外,政府的支持政策、獎勵和對太陽能基礎設施的投資正在進一步推動市場成長。此外,主要市場參與者的存在、技術進步和龐大的消費群是亞太地區成為太陽能封裝產品主要市場的因素。

複合年成長率最高的地區:

在預測期內,由於各種因素,預計中東和非洲太陽能電池封裝市場將快速擴張。這包括政府採取更多舉措來促進可再生能源的採用、豐富的太陽能資源以及不斷增加的電力需求。此外,技術進步和有利的監管政策正在鼓勵全部區域對太陽能計劃的投資。由於人們對太陽能好處的認知不斷提高以及能源來源多樣化的努力,中東和非洲的太陽能電池封裝市場預計將顯著成長。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Solar Encapsulation Market is accounted for $3.47 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $6.86 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. Solar encapsulation involves enclosing photovoltaic cells within protective materials to shield them from environmental factors. This process enhances the durability and performance of solar panels by safeguarding against moisture, dust, UV radiation, and mechanical damage. Encapsulation materials, such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) or polyvinyl butyral (PVB), contribute to prolonging the lifespan and optimizing the electrical properties of solar modules.

According to UN report between 2005 and 2030, energy needs are projected to expand by 55 per cent, with demand increasing from 11.4 billion tons of oil equivalent to 17.7 billion.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for renewable energy

The increasing demand for renewable energy sources, such as solar power, is a significant driver in the solar encapsulation market. As the world focuses more on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, there is a growing need for efficient solar energy solutions. Solar encapsulation materials play a crucial role in protecting solar panels from environmental factors and ensuring their durability and performance. This demand surge is fueled by both the residential and commercial sectors seeking reliable, long-term renewable energy solutions.

Restraint:

Recycling complexity of solar encapsulations

The recycling complexity of solar encapsulations poses a significant restraint in the solar encapsulation market. While solar panels are recognized for their sustainability, the intricate nature of their encapsulation materials complicates the recycling process. These materials often consist of multiple layers and compositions, making it challenging to efficiently separate and recycle them. Consequently, this complexity increases recycling costs and reduces the overall viability of recycling initiatives, hindering the market's growth.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements in solar cell efficiency

Enhanced efficiency means greater electricity generation from solar panels, driving demand for encapsulation materials to protect and maintain the performance of these cells. As solar technology becomes more efficient, there's a growing need for innovative encapsulation solutions to ensure durability, longevity, and optimal performance of solar panels. This trend opens up avenues for companies in the solar encapsulation sector to capitalize on the increasing demand for high-performance materials.

Threat:

Fluctuations in raw material prices

Fluctuations in raw material prices pose a significant threat to the solar encapsulation market. As raw materials like ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and glass are essential components, price volatility can disrupt manufacturing costs and profit margins. This instability can lead to uncertainty in pricing for solar panel manufacturers, impacting their competitiveness and profitability. Additionally, sudden price hikes may deter potential investors and slow down industry growth.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the solar encapsulation market by disrupting supply chains, delaying project timelines, and reducing demand due to economic uncertainty. Lockdowns and restrictions hindered manufacturing and installation activities, leading to project delays. However, the growing focus on renewable energy and recovery efforts has spurred resilience, with the market expected to rebound as the global economy recovers.

The ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) segment is anticipated to dominate the solar encapsulation market during the forecast period due to its widespread usage in photovoltaic module manufacturing. EVA serves as a crucial encapsulant, providing insulation, adhesion, and durability to solar panels. Its properties, including excellent light transmittance and adhesion to both glass and solar cells make it a preferred choice for module encapsulation. Additionally, advancements in EVA formulations to enhance durability and efficiency further contribute to its prominence in the market.

The thin-film solar technology segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The thin-film solar technology segment is anticipated to exhibit a significant growth rate during the forecast period in the solar encapsulation market. This is attributed to factors such as its lightweight design, flexibility, and lower material costs compared to traditional crystalline silicon modules. Additionally, advancements in thin-film technology have enhanced efficiency and durability, driving its adoption in various applications such as building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), consumer electronics, and portable power solutions, fueling its market growth.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is set to dominate the solar encapsulation market due to several factors. The region's rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing focus on renewable energy drive substantial demand for solar panels. Additionally, supportive government policies, incentives, and investments in solar energy infrastructure further boost market growth. Moreover, the presence of key market players, technological advancements, and a large consumer base contribute to Asia Pacific's strong position as a leading market for solar encapsulation products.

Region with highest CAGR:

During the forecast period, the Middle East and Africa are poised for rapid expansion in the solar encapsulation market due to various factors. These include increasing government initiatives to promote renewable energy adoption, abundant solar resources, and a growing demand for electricity. Additionally, advancements in technology and favorable regulatory policies are driving investments in solar projects across the region.
