The global polysilicon market size reached US$ 10.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 24.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3% during 2023-2032. The growing demand for clean energy, rising use of monocrystalline solar panels, and increasing utilization of solar mini grids to provide electricity access in remote areas represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Polysilicon, also known as polycrystalline silicon or poly-Si, is a high-purity form of silicon with multiple crystal structures, which makes it a fundamental component in the manufacturing processes of various industries. It comprises material properties similar to single crystal silicon and can be doped by introducing impurities. It is manufactured from grains that tend to increase in size with a rise in film thickness during the high-temperature manufacturing steps. It is an ideal interconnect when used with titanium to form a low-resistivity suicide. It plays a vital role in photovoltaic (PV) module production and serves as the base material for solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. It assists in producing solar modules through various processes, such as the purification of raw silicon, deposition into ingots or wafers, subsequent slicing, and processing into solar cells. As it is used in the production of semiconductor devices, such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits, the demand for polysilicon is rising across the globe.
