Solar Cell Market Outlook:
Solar Cell Market size was valued at USD 158.82 billion in 2025 and is set to exceed USD 750.47 billion by 2035, expanding at over 16.8% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of solar cell is estimated at USD 182.83 billion.
The solar cell market is driven by the rising focus on renewable energy sources and mitigating greenhouse emissions from oil, coal, and gas. Photovoltaic (PV) modules currently render almost 4% of global electricity and collectively provide more than 300 gigawatts (GW) of power capacity. But to decarbonize the present energy systems, PV capacity must grow rapidly in the coming years, supplying approximately 40% of the electricity by 2050. To cater to the growing solar energy requirements, new technologies including sophisticated grid-edge controls are being developed to facilitate peak load mitigation, asset performance optimization, and value stream additions. The ongoing efforts to harvest and store solar energy effectively are projected to provide an impetus to the solar cell market.
