Solar Energy Markets
Report Scope:
The report is a compilation of existing BCC Research reports in the solar energy market. The topics analyzed within the report include a detailed breakdown and analysis of the global markets for solar technologies by geography, technology and application. Additionally, included are a review of the different technologies from second-generation and third-generation solar technologies such as Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs)/Plastic Solar Cells and Multi-junction Photovoltaics (MJPVs) and Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPVs) which are currently in commercial use; and a review of early-stage technologies that are beginning to see transfer from research to commercialization and major factors impelling and impeding the global growth.
The scope of this report extends to sizing of the solar energy market and an analysis of global market trends with market data for solar installations at global level in 2021, which is being considered as the base year, 2022 as the estimate year and forecast for 2027, with a projection of CAGRs from 2022 to 2027. Market data provided in volume is cumulative installed capacity. The report also provides the value in millions of U.S. dollars and which corresponds to the volume presented in this report.
The report focuses on assessment of solar energy technologies and an analysis of companies/manufacturers and the related system providers. Market dynamics such as drivers, restraints, and opportunities are also discussed in the report. The study forecasts the market value of the solar energy market for key technologies such as PV and CSP.
This report covers the technological, economic and business considerations of the solar industry, with analyses and forecasts provided for global markets. Included in the report are descriptions of market forces relevant to the solar industry and their areas of application.
This report considers the impact of COVID-19. In 2020, the growth rate of manufacturing industries around the world was severely affected by the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic halted progress in every regional economy. Various governments around the world are taking necessary measures to contain the economic slowdown.
