The global solar PV panels market size was estimated at USD 170.25 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 287.13 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2024 to 2030.
Growing demand for renewables-based clean electricity coupled with government policies, tax rebates, and incentives to install solar panels is expected to drive the growth of solar PV panels industry in the coming years. Asia Pacific held the largest market share of over 54.0% in 2023.
Companies in the commercial and industrial sectors are among the major consumers of solar photovoltaic panels owing to the large-scale demand for green energy. Installation economies of scale in these sectors compensate for any loss in panel efficiency, making solar PV systems profitable for large-scale generation.
The value chain of solar PV panels includes raw material suppliers, equipment suppliers, module manufacturers, distributors, and buyers that function in industrial, commercial, and residential markets. The majority of manufacturers in the solar PV panels industry are heavily backward integrated.
