Major Driver In The Polysilicon Market

The increasing adoption of solar energy is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the polysilicon market in the near future. Solar energy is derived from the sun's radiation, converted into electricity or heat through technologies such as photovoltaics (PV) or solar thermal systems. The demand for solar energy is rising due to growing environmental awareness and regulatory incentives encouraging the adoption of renewable energy sources globally. Polysilicon is a critical material in the solar energy sector, as it is used primarily in the production of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity in solar panels. For instance, in September 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, projected that the number of households relying on solar PV would increase from 25 million today to over 100 million by 2030 under the net zero emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE Scenario). Additionally, at least 190 GW of solar capacity was installed in 2022, with this number expected to rise due to the growing competitiveness of PV technologies and the increasing demand for clean energy solutions. The polysilicon market was valued at approximately $8 billion in 2023, with projections of reaching around $9 billion in 2024 and increasing to an estimated $13 billion by 2028. Consequently, the increasing adoption of solar energy is driving the growth of the polysilicon market through 2023, into 2024, and is expected to expand further by 2028.
