Global Amorphous Silicon Thin-Film Solar Cells Market Size, Share, Forecast Report 2025

The global amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells market is likely to generate a demand of USD 5,310.2 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 15.4% over the next seven years. Rising demand for energy across the globe is expected to drive the market. Moreover, several favorable government initiatives towards renewable energy are set to accelerate market demand over the forecast period. However, lower efficiency of amorphous silicon solar cells as compared to other technologies is likely to hamper the market growth.

An amorphous silicon thin-film solar cell (a-Si) consists of a thin layer of photovoltaic material deposited on a substrate such as glass, plastic or metal. These solar cells use only a fraction of silicon used in crystalline silicon solar cells resulting in relatively lower cost of the end product. Also, the flexibility offered by thin-film solar cells opens up opportunity in potential applications. The years used for the assessment are as follows;

  • Historical year : 2015, 2016 and 2017
  • Base year  : 2018
  • Forecast period: 2019 – 2025
