Solar Encapsulation Market Introduction and Overview

According to SPER Market Research, the Global Solar Encapsulation Market is estimated to reach USD 11.72 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 8.26%.

The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Solar Encapsulation Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. 

The global solar encapsulation market was valued at USD 5.3 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.26% during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the rising global demand for electricity and advancements in the sustainable energy sector, due to the depletion of traditional resources and environmental concerns. Additionally, increasing investment in infrastructure modernization supports the market, making solar encapsulation essential for producing photovoltaic (PV) technology.
Solar Encapsulation Market
By Material Insights: The report divides the solar encapsulant market into six material types: Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA), Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Ionomer, Polyolefin, and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). The EVA segment is predicted to be the largest during the forecast period. EVA is favored for food and medical packaging due to its non-toxic qualities and excellent mechanical properties. It is also used in solar modules to enhance radiation transmission and protect solar cells with sealing and insulating films.

By Technology Insights: The solar encapsulation market is divided by technology into crystalline silicon and thin-film solar technology. Crystalline silicon includes mono-crystalline and polycrystalline. Thin-film solar technology consists of Cadmium telluride (CdTe), Copper-Indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS), and Amorphous Silicon. Crystalline silicon technology will grow the fastest. Monocrystalline cells are made from single-crystalline silicon, are cylindrical, and are more efficient and space-saving than other solar cells.

Regional Insights: Asia-Pacific dominates the Solar Encapsulation Market, with the biggest market share. Rapid improvements in solar technology, large investments in renewable energy, and government support for sustainable energy projects, particularly in China and India, have all contributed to the region's market supremacy. This region is anticipated to maintain its supremacy as urbanisation and industrialisation continue, as solar systems become more affordable. North America follows, with a heavy emphasis on solar technology innovation and a strong legislative framework that encourages renewable energy use. The United States leads the region in green energy, thanks to federal laws that promote it and the availability of private investment for new solar installations.
