The next-generation solar cell market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.53 billion in 2023 to $2.95 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%. The increase in the historic period can be credited to heightened awareness about the impact of traditional energy sources, urbanization, population growth, greater use of PV modules, rising demand for renewable energy, and increased acceptance of smart grid integration and energy storage solutions.
The next-generation solar cell market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9%. The growth anticipated in the upcoming period is driven by escalating energy needs, growing environmental concerns and sustainability objectives, greater adoption of photovoltaic cells, increased integration of smart grids and energy storage solutions, and rising electricity demand in urban areas. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in technology design, improvements in manufacturing processes, developments in perovskite and organic photovoltaics, innovations such as thin-film technology, and a shift towards eco-friendly energy sources.
The rising demand for electricity is anticipated to propel the growth of the next-generation solar cell market. This increase in electricity demand is driven by population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and the expanding use of electric vehicles and electronic devices. Next-generation solar cells boost electricity production through higher efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced performance in various conditions, making solar energy more accessible and reliable. For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, reported that global electricity demand grew by 2.2% in 2023 and is projected to increase by 3.4% annually through 2026. Additionally, in 2022, the United States saw a 2.6% rise in electricity demand. Therefore, the increasing electricity demand in urban areas is fueling the growth of the next-generation solar cell market.
Leading companies in the next-generation solar cell market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as the innovative N-Type tunnel oxide passivated contacts (TOPCon) technology, to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the overall performance and reliability of solar energy systems. The N-type TOPCon technology increases the efficiency and lifespan of solar modules by minimizing surface recombination and enhancing carrier extraction. For example, in February 2024, Navitas Solar, an India-based module manufacturing company, launched next-generation N-type TOPCon solar modules. These new modules come with a 12-year product and 30-year performance warranty and are constructed with 182 mm (M10) 16BB, half-cut cells. The panels can generate power from 560 to 630 watts, with module efficiencies exceeding 22%.
In April 2023, Ascent Solar Technologies Inc., a US-based solar module manufacturing company, acquired Flisom for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will allow Ascent Solar to triple its production capacity and create a new revenue stream in the luxury goods and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) markets. Flisom is a Switzerland-based next-generation solar cell manufacturing company.
