With an equipment market worth $11.19 billion in 2014 in China, the solar PV sector is expected to reach cumulative installed capacity of 143 GW through the forecast period from 2015-2020. India, now expected to be growing at the fastest CAGR, is anticipated to hold a total market of worth 4.71 billion by 2020.
Market Overview
Renewable energy possesses a vast expanse of untapped market potential, and irrespective of its abundant availability, it is yet to achieve a wide scale adoption among both government and private bodies. The solar energy market (PV and solar thermal) has gained significant traction in the recent past, and is anticipated to attain almost 265GW and 568GWth of cumulative capacity by 2020 for solar PV and solar thermal respectively. The market expansion within the APAC region is primarily attributed to the rising energy demand in developing countries and the advancement in technologies, which enable higher degree of energy efficiency.
In the year 2015, the total installed capacity is expected to be 29.32 GW with more than 8 GW of new installation in the same year itself. Moreover, the new installations are estimated to grow at a decent rate reaching 37.97 GW by the end of the forecast period. This further puts the country closer to achieve the goal of sustainable development, whilst keeping in mind the pace of economical growth.
The countries covered in the report boast of climatic conditions favorable enough for harnessing solar energy, which acts as a major boosting factor for driving the market in APAC region. While China has dominated the overall market in terms of capacity, generation, and revenue, India will be the fastest growing country in the remaining of this decade. The government support towards the adoption of solar energy in the form of policies and incentive schemes is another big factor impelling the solar energy market. However, the high installation cost of solar modules acts as a key restraint in the overall market growth.
Sustainable harnessing of solar radiation using various technologies available in the market makes solar energy one of the most potential alternatives as compared to the conventional sources of energy such as fossil fuels. The most widely used technologies include: solar PV, solar thermal heating and concentrated solar power technology.
The Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) Market Estimation and Forecast chapter is the result of comprehensive and rigorous research of solar PV ecosystem and the generation capacity of the PV cells. The analysis has identified that while Solar PV modules were the largest revenue generating segment in 2014, the growth rate will be rather low for solar PV inverters. The market growth for inverters is anticipated to be steady in the next five years, rising at a CAGR of 2.13%. The application market identifies the split of different applications by countries, concluding that while countries like China and India had a dominant share of utility scale solar PV installations, Australia and Japan had considerable share in the residential and commercial segment respectively. In terms of revenue, utility scale contributed approximately $10.69 billion in 2014 and commercial application will be growing at a CAGR of 13.20% from 2015 to 2020 and grow over $16.91 billion by 2020.
Among the countries in APAC, China has the largest market share in solar PV energy segment reaching the cumulative capacity of 27.81 GW in 2014 and is expected to achieve over 143 GW of cumulative installed capacity by 2020. India will be growing at the fastest CAGR through the forecast period to a reach a cumulative capacity over 35 GW by 2020. The other countries covered in the report are South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan, and Malaysia among others. The companies dominating the solar energy market such as Yingly Solar, Trina Solar, Kyocera, and First Solar among others, are profiled in the report.
