Insights Presented in the Report


“Amongst type, the cadmium telluride (CdTe) segment held a dominating share of the market in 2022”


Based on the Type, the market is segmented into amorphous, cadmium telluride (CdTe), and cooper Gallium Indium Diselenide (CIGS). The cadmium telluride (CdTe) segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Cadmium telluride (CdTe) panels are the most popular type of thin-film technology used in installations today. These panels are made up of several thin layers: one main renewable energy-producing layer made from the compound cadmium telluride, and surrounding layers for electricity conduction and collection.


“Amongst application, the residential segment held the majority share of the market in 2022”


Based on the application, the market is bifurcated into residential and commercial. The residential segment caters to a significant share of the thin-film solar panel market. As thin-solar panels require large space for their installation on rooftops and generate inexpensive solar electricity that withstands variable loads like rough wind conditions.


“Asia Pacific Caters Considerable Share in the Thin-film solar panel Market in 2022”


Asia Pacific acquired a dominant share in the thin-films solar panel market. It is mainly due to the continuous evolution of regulatory policies, primarily in India & China, which are mobilizing foreign investments in both countries. Additionally, the declining costs of generation per unit of solar power have also boosted the penetration of solar power across many residential areas in the region. Further, the government implementing schemes, programs, and incentives for installing solar panels is also accelerating the demand for the thin-film solar panel market. For instance: In 2023, the South Korean government allocated ($185.5 million) for its rebate scheme for rooftop PV systems and another small renewable energy system.
