Segmental Analysis of the Global Perovskite Solar Cells Market

The global perovskite solar cells market is segmented based upon Product Type, Module Type, Structure, Application and Region. 

By Product Type

The flexible perovskite solar cell (PSC) segment is poised for significant growth in the forecast period with a projected CAGR of 29.8%. This segment's popularity is driven by its favorable technical specifications, including its potential for use in portable electronics. Researchers have also been drawn to this segment due to the high efficiency levels that have been achieved, with some low-temperature fabrication methods delivering levels over 18%. The matching of interface and electrode materials is also seen as a key factor in this segment's growth potential.

By Module

By module, the global perovskite market is segmented into rigid and flexible, wherein, the rigid segment is projected to generate over 82% market revenue. Rigid Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) have shown promising results in the field of converting sunlight into electricity. With a champion-cell efficiency of 19.11%, rigid PSCs are more efficient than their flexible counterparts. Additionally, they are capable of processing temperatures over 250°C, making them more versatile in their application.

Most of the consumers around the globe are preferring the product as it offers improved stability and durability, making them suitable for long-term installations. They are more resilient to changes in temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet light and are less likely to suffer from mechanical damage. Furthermore, rigid PSCs offer cost-effectiveness as they require fewer materials and a lower process temperature during fabrication, resulting in a lower cost of production. These advantages make rigid PSCs a more attractive option for many applications.
