SEMI和Linx-AEI Consulting发布一份新报告，深入分析日益增长的光伏材料市场中的机会。在全球强劲需求的牵引下，太阳能需求量预计在2010年至2015年增长3倍，对于电子材料供应商来说，晶体硅和薄膜模组材料是增长最快的市场之一。新报告将包含硅、研磨液、气体、化学试剂、前体、掺杂物等关键材料的调研分析。
2010年用于光伏电池和模组的先进化学试剂和材料市场增长114%，达到65亿美元。该市场预计在2015年将达到169亿美元。2011年该市场将小幅调整，原因是德国对太阳能的支持政策有所调整。2012年随着新兴市场的崛起，将重返增长轨道。
Tremendous Growth Opportunities in the PV Materials Market, according to New Report
BOSTON, Mass. and SAN JOSE, Calif. — February 7, 2011 – SEMI and Linx-AEI Consulting announce a new report that delivers detailed insights about growth opportunities in the soaring photovoltaic (PV) materials market. Driven by the global demand for economically viable, renewable solar power— expected to more than triple from 2010 to 2015— materials for crystalline silicon and thin film modules are one of the largest and fastest growing markets for suppliers of electronic materials. The new report includes detailed insights into the demand for silicon, slurries, gases, wet chemicals, precursors, dopants, and other critical materials.
The market for advanced chemicals and materials used in PV solar cells and modules grew by 114 percent in 2010 to $6.5 billion. The market is projected to grow to a forecasted $16.9 billion in 2015. The outlook for materials sales in 2011 will slow slightly as PV module demand in Germany adjusts to new incentive policies and module prices decline. Growth resumes in 2012 as new markets emerge, according to the industry report.
The Chemicals & Materials for Photovoltaic Cells and Modules report analyzes the production processes and supply chain trends for the manufacture of cells and materials, as well as examining the emerging materials requirements for novel technologies. The growth trend in the aggregate global market for the materials covered is shown in the following graphic.
PV Cell and Module Chemical and Material Demand
The report outlines key PV technology developments in major market segments and discusses their implications for materials supply and innovation. In crystalline Silicon, a drive to increasing material and cell efficiency is opening the door to diamond wire sawing, improved texturization processes, novel selective emitter schemes, novel plating technologies, ion implant and new passivation layer technologies. In Thin Film modules, improvements in manufacturing technologies for tandem junction Silicon and CIGS will lead to increasing competition for the segment leading CdTe, and drive growth for the respective manufacturing materials. In addition, novel technologies for light capture and moisture protection in moduling have added value to traditional materials, while novel backside contact approaches may require significant material redesign.
