According to the Facts & Factors report, the global photovoltaics market size was nearly $89.25 billion in 2022 and is set to increase to about $177 billion by 2030 along with securing the highest CAGR of 7.90% from 2023 to 2030.
Photovoltaics helps in converting light into electricity by using semiconductor materials exhibiting photovoltaic effect. A photovoltaic system makes use of solar modules which comprises a large number of solar cells producing electric power. Moreover, photovoltaic deployments can be installed through various modes such as floating, ground-mounted, wall-mounted, and rooftop-mounted. The PV technology assists in reducing climatic changes owing to its ability in emitting less carbon as compared to that emitted by fossil fuels such as coal.

A surge in the number of solar deployments due to favorable government policies and the growing acceptance of PV technologies in residential and commercial sectors will drive the global photovoltaics market trends.
With PV systems being less expensive, the market across the globe is likely to gain traction in the years ahead. Favorable government initiatives towards renewable & sustainable energy and huge investments in manufacturing photovoltaics will contribute majorly towards the global market proceeds.
Nevertheless, problems faced in land acquisition for PV projects are a key factor hindering the growth of the global photovoltaics industry. However, large-scale use of energy created from photovoltaic cells for generating electricity for running water pumps will offer new growth opportunities for the global industry.
Segmental Overview:
The global photovoltaics market is divided into component, material, installation type, application, and region.
The component segment of the photovoltaics market is sub-segmented into modulators, BOS, and inverters segments. Furthermore, the BOS segment, which contributed over 50% of the global market share in 2022, is set to establish its segmental dominance in the coming years. The growth of the segment in the next eight years can be subject to massive demand for solar panels for renewable energy generation along with growing operational efficiency offered by BOS.
In terms of material, the photovoltaics industry across the globe is segmented into silicon and compound segments. Moreover, the silicon segment, which dominated the segmental growth in 2022, is anticipated to record the highest CAGR in the forthcoming years. The segmental growth over the forecast timeline can be due to the growing demand for silicon in the production of photovoltaic cells for solar energy generation.
On the basis of installation type, the photovoltaics market globally is bifurcated into ground-mounted, floating photovoltaic, and BIPV segments. Moreover, the BIPV segment, which accounted for about 50% of the global market share in 2022, is predicted to establish its dominant status even in the upcoming years. The segmental surge can be credited to growing sustainable energy trends witnessed across the globe.
Based on the application, the photovoltaics market globally is sectored into residential, utilities, and commercial & industrial segments. Moreover, the residential segment, which accounted for a major share of the global market in 2022, is predicted to maintain its segmental dominance even in the foreseeable future. The segmental surge can be credited to the low cost of PV technologies in the past few years.
Regional Overview:
Furthermore, the North American photovoltaics industry, which contributed nearly more than 70% of the global industry share in 2022, is predicted to witness noteworthy growth in the forecast timespan. The factors that are anticipated to measure the growth of the regional market include the huge demand for solar panels in residential and commercial sectors in the region. Supportive government regulations encouraging the use of renewable energy in the countries such as the U.S. and Canada will exponentiate the regional market growth in the forecast timespan.
