Solar PV Backsheet Market

Global Solar PV Backsheet Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Fluoropolymer and Non-Fluoropolymer), by Application (Residential, Commercial, and Industrial) and Forecast 2019-2025

Published: Dec 2019 | Report Code: OMR2019994 | Category : Renewable Energy | Delivery Format: /

The global solar PV backsheet market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% over the forecast period. Solar PV backsheet is the most critical part used in the construction of a PV module. The backsheet is intended to protect the inner components of the module from an external force. Moreover, the sheet also acts as an electrical insulator. The growth of the market is attributed to an increase in environmental concern, increasing demand for green energy, and the reduction of solar panel prices in both developing and underdeveloped economies. 

Other factors that contribute to the growth of the global solar PV backsheet industry include increasing awareness among people towards cost-effective renewable energy source and government incentives, schemes, and subsidies for domestic solar rooftops panel. Various government initiatives such as feed-in-tariff (FIT) programs in order to increase the installation of solar panels in commercial as well as residential sector is driving the growth of the solar panel market and hence solar PV backsheet market. Further, fluctuation in crude oil prices has been majorly contributing to the increase in the adoption of the rooftop solar panel. 

Segmental Outlook  

The global solar PV backsheet market is segmented on the type, application, and regions. On the basis of the type, the market is segmented into a fluoropolymer solar PV backsheet and a non-fluoropolymer solar PV backsheet. Fluoropolymer solar PV backsheet is widely preferred over non-fluoropolymer solar PV backsheet due to their high performance over a long period of time. Based on the applications, the market is classified into residential, commercial, and industrial.

Residential Application Segment to Grow Significantly Over the Forecast Period

The segmental growth of residential application of the global solar PV backsheet is attributed to the increasing adoption of solar panels in a residential setting. Solar panels are used by house owners to make their home energy efficient. The solar panels are used for various applications in the household such as solar-powered ventilation system, solar heated swimming pool, solar room heater, solar power pump system, solar battery charging system and many more. 
Further, solar power enables to cut down the electricity bills and is more secure than any other electric resource. Hence, the adoption of solar panels has been rising significantly in the residential sector. Moreover, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the price of average-sized residential solar systems has declined from over $40,000 in 2010 to $17,000 by the 3rd quarter of 2018. This, in turn, has primarily driven the demand for solar panels in the residential sector, which in turn, have led to the growth of the solar PV backsheet in a residential application. 

Regional Outlook 

Geographically, the study of the global solar PV backsheet market covers the analysis of four major regions including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Germany, UK, Italy, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), and Rest of the World (RoW). North America and Europe have a considerable share in the global solar PV backsheet market attributed to the major contribution of the US, UK, Germany, France, and Canada. Further, there is a large number of solar panel providers within these regions such as Canadian Solar, JinkoSolar, and Trina Solar, which are significantly contributing to the global solar panel market; thereby, creating the demand for solar PV backsheets.

Asia-Pacific to Exhibit the Fastest Growth Rate during the Forecast Period 

Asia-Pacific region is projected to hold the highest market share with significant growth during the forecast period. The major economies such as China, Australia, Japan, South Korea, India, and Singapore are significantly contributing to the growth of the market during the forecast period. Further, in these regions, there is a high adoption of solar plants in the manufacturing industry. Major players are also investing in the Asia-Pacific due to potential opportunities in the region. Furthermore, the growth of the market in Asia-Pacific is attributed to its major emerging economies such as China and India. 

China has in place various policies in place to promote renewable energy. China offers a reduced rate of corporate income tax to new enterprises in the field including solar energy, wind energy, biomaterial energy, and geothermal energy. This exemption is continued for 3 years followed by a 50% reduction for another 3 years of the standard CIT rate for income derived from specified CDM projects. China also offers feed-in-tariff offers for energy performance contracting (EPC) projects. Such government initiatives and support towards the adoption of solar panels and other renewable sources of energy would spur the use of solar panels in the near future. This, in turn, will augment the growth of the solar PV backsheet market in the region.

Market Players Outlook

Additionally, the market consists of several market players that are significantly providing solar PV backsheets to a wide range of customers across the globe.
