Global Solar PV Panels Market Size, Share 2025
Solar PV Panel Market, Segmentation Based On Technology.
The global solar PV panels market size was estimated at USD 170.25 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 287.13 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2024 to 2030.
Based on application, the industrial segment accounted for a dominant share of over 40.0% in solar PV panels sector in 2023. Companies in the commercial and industrial sectors are among the major consumers of solar photovoltaic panels owing to the large-scale demand for green energy.
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
Growing demand for renewables-based clean electricity coupled with government policies, tax rebates, and incentives to install solar panels is expected to drive the growth of solar PV panels industry in the coming years. Asia Pacific held the largest market share of over 54.0% in 2023.
