Next-Generation Solar Cell Market Size is valued at USD 3.53 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 21.50 Bn by the year 2034 at a 20.0% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Next-generation solar cells are advanced technologies that improve classic silicon-based solar cells' efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability. These technologies provide novel techniques for capturing and converting sunlight into electricity, frequently overcoming the limitations of traditional solar cells. Improving manufacturing techniques and utilizing novel materials can potentially lower the manufacturing costs of next-generation solar cells. This lowers the cost of solar energy and makes it more competitive with other energy generation sources.
Rapid advances in materials science, nanotechnology, and manufacturing techniques drive the development of next-generation solar cell technologies. Efficiency, stability, and scalability innovations are critical for achieving a competitive advantage in the market. Materials science, nanotechnology, and manufacturing process advancements have enabled the creation of novel solar cell technologies with increased efficiency and stability.
However, manufacturing firms encountered difficulties in keeping operations running while complying with safety procedures. Reduced workforce, slower output, and changes in work arrangements may have hampered the production of next-generation solar cells.
The Next-Generation Solar Cell Market is segmented on the basis of material type, installation and end-use industry. Based on material type, the market is segmented as transceivers, Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), Copper Indian Gallium Selenide (CIGS), Amorphous Silicone (a-Si), Gallium-Arsenide (GaAs), and others. The others are segmented into organic solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, and perovskite solar cells. By installation, the market is segmented into on-grid and off-grid. The end-users segment consists of residential, commercial & industrial, utilities, and others.
The perovskites solar cells category is expected to hold a major share of the global Next-Generation Solar Cell Market in 2022. Other material includes perovskite solar cells, organic solar cell, and dye-sensitized solar cells. Perovskite-structured materials utilized in solar cells are typically hybrid organic-inorganic lead or tin-halide compounds, such as methylammonium lead halide. Because these materials are solution-processed, their production is straightforward and economical. Hybrid metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received a lot of attention due to their inexpensive cost, smaller design, low-temperature production, and outstanding light absorption qualities (high performance in low and diffuse light).
The commercial & industrial segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global Next-Generation Solar Cell Market. Technological improvements, market trends, and environmental considerations contribute to the growing adoption of next-generation solar cells in the commercial and industrial sectors. Next-generation solar cells now have better efficiency, stability, and cost. Business processes are increasingly likely to include these technologies as they develop and become more dependable.
Asia Pacific's Next-Generation Solar Cell Market is anticipated to register the maximum market share in terms of revenue in the near future. The regional market is expanding as a result of the rising use of PV modules in countries like China, Japan, and India. Next-generation solar cells are more efficient than silicon-based cells and work well in both natural and artificial light. A next-generation solar cell is less than one micron thick and can be produced at low temperatures utilizing inexpensive methods like printing. Additionally, North America is anticipated to experience rapid growth during the projection period. The potential for next-generation solar cells to improve energy efficiency and advance sustainability goals has boosted attention in the region.
