Metal Paste for Solar Cell Technology and Market Forecast 2nd Edition (2010~2015)

Description:

The PV front electrode paste market, which had been led by two major companies, Dupont and Ferro, has changed into a race between big 3 with the advent of Heraeus. Considering a high entry barrier resulting from the conservative characteristic of the market, the successful market entry of Heraeus which has come into the market late is exceptional. It is 'high efficiency products' that made Heraeus enter the market with success; Heraeus has constantly brought the market new products with upgraded performance, concentrating on R&D. Since the front electrode paste is a material that has a direct influence on solar cell efficiency and reliability, domestic and foreign companies cannot keep up with new product launches of top tier companies and it is time for them to put on a spurt for performance enhancement.

In this sense, to help metal paste companies enter this market, it requires careful consideration to the metal paste from various perspectives. That is, it is considered that there is a need to secure competitive edge by carrying out researches on low cost, high efficiency and new technology applications as well as existing metal pastes, in order to enter the market that has a strong conservative inclination.

This report covers a wide range of the metal paste for solar cells in detail including basic properties, theories and the trend of materials technology and it also deals with analysis of materials costs of the front electrode and the rear electrode metal pastes according to a rise in the Ag raw material price. Additionally, the market share by electrode, and the metal paste market forecasts in the global, Korea and China markets are detailed in it.
