Thin Film Solar Cell Market: Overview
Thin film solar panels are a part of the solar panel segment that makes use of an extremely thin layer of photovoltaic (PV) material, such as cadmium telluride (CdTe), amorphous silicon (a-Si), or copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) to produce electricity using sunlight. The industry deals with the production and distribution of thin-film solar panels.
These products are typically flexible, and lightweight but are capable of producing large volumes of electricity at considerable low-cost manufacturing techniques. This is one of the major reasons why the industry is growing and the technology is one of the promising systems that can be used for the production of large-scale energy using solar power. The industry includes enterprises that are involved in the processes of production, sale & distribution, installation, and maintenance of thin film solar panels. In recent years, the fraternity has grown tremendously and is expected to continue the same trend in the coming years.

Industry Dynamics:
Global Thin Film Solar Cell Market: Growth Drivers
- Growing demand for cost-effective energy solutions to propel market demand.
The global thin film solar cell market is projected to grow owing to the rising demand for cost-effective solutions for energy production. The expense associated with the production of thin-film solar panels is gradually reducing but the impact of the product has remained consistent over the years.
A critical reason for declining product costs is improved manufacturing efficiency since market players have achieved efficient and better-streamlined production processes. Furthermore, the reduction in the cost of raw materials required to produce the panels is also an important factor. These panels also require fewer raw materials as compared to traditional bulky panels which contribute to the final cost of the product.
Global Thin Film Solar Cell Market: Restraints
- Relatively lower efficiency to restrict the market growth.
Thin film solar panels are relatively less efficient than traditional solar panels in terms of energy production. Generally, they convert a lesser degree of sunlight into energy. Although with years of existence, the market has shown growth in terms of technological advancements, there is a significant gap in the performance index of thin film solar panels and regular panels which leads to consumers preferring the latter, especially in situations where the demand for energy is high.

Thin Film Solar Cell Market: Opportunities
- Increasing demand for renewable energy to provide growth opportunities.
With the rising rate of environmental pollution, excessive dependency on non-renewable sources of energy, and growing health concerns due to the intense level of pollution across the globe, the demand for clean energy has risen in the last decade.
Governments, international and domestic regulatory bodies, and consumer groups have undertaken proactive measures to control the dependency and use of non-renewable sources leading to more demand for energy generated from renewable sources like solar and wind energy. Thin film solar panels provide efficient output by using solar power and the growing demand for clean energy could assist in generating more revenue during the projection period.
Thin Film Solar Cell Market: Challenges
- Competition from traditional solar panels acts as a major challenge.
One of the key challenges faced by the global industry players is the tough competition from sellers and producers of traditional solar panels. The latter has existed for a long time in the commercial market and has a dedicated set of consumer databases due to a better awareness rate. The industry for thin film solar panels is relatively new and has a restrictive awareness rate. The competition from traditional solar panel makers is consistently rising and is a major drawback for the industry players.
Global Thin Film Solar Cell Market: Segmentation
- The global thin film solar cell market is segmented based on installation, type, application, and region.
Based on the installation, the global market segments are off-grid and on-grid
- The industry was led by the on-grid thin film solar panels in 2022 and these systems are typically used or connected to the utility grid
- These systems can efficiently feed excess power back to the grid thus resulting in a reduced requirement for expensive energy storage systems
- They can further be used for net metering allowing consumers to earn credits for the production of excess energy
- The average cost of thin film solar panels was between USD 0.3 to USD 0.8 per watt as of 2021
Based on type, the global market is divided into copper indium gallium selenide, cadmium telluride, thin-film polycrystalline silicon, microcrystalline tandem cells, and others.
Based on application, the global industry segments are commercial, residential, and utility
- Utility-scale applications were the largest contributors in the segment in 2022
- These installation systems refer to units of large solar panels that are typically installed and maintained by independent or utility power providers
- They can generate megawatts or gigawatts of power and the design allows the system to feed power back into the grid directly
- The cost and performance efficiency associated with utility installations are the main reasons for segmental growth
- The Tengger Desert Solar Park in China is 1.5 gigawatts solar power plant
