The global Perovskite Solar Cells market held a market value of USD 352.2 Million in 2020 and is estimated to reach USD 2,012.7 Million by the year 2027. The market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 28.7% during the forecast period.



Perovskite solar cells consists of a perovskite-structured compound, mostly a hybrid inorganic-organic lead or tin-halide-based material. Perovskite is a material having same crystal structure as mineral calcium titanium oxide. The market is anticipated to be driven by the high efficiency of perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, growing focus on solar energy is also estimated to boost the market growth. The market is expected to be restrained by the presence of toxic materials, such as lead coupled with lack of standard solutions.

Growth Influencers:

High efficiency of perovskite solar cells

High efficiency of perovskite solar cells in combination with low cost of processes and materials raise the preferability of these cells over the commercial silicon or other inorganic and organic solar cells. These cells also enable further advancement of the power conversion efficiency beyond those afforded by the silicon solar cells. Power conversion efficiency of metal halide perovskite-based solar cells has reached 25% in 2020 from 3% in 2006. Therefore, such increasing efficiency of perovskite solar cells is expected to boost the market growth.

Product Price Overview-Cost Breakdown

In terms of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), the efficiency gain of a tandem device as compared to a silicon single junction is capable of offsetting the additional cost for the top cell. According to IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics published in November 2020, the cost of manufacturing for perovskite single junction modules are around USD 31.7-32.7 sq metre. Also, the same source stated that the cost of manufacturing for USD 113.8 sq metre for perovskite-silicon tandem. Also, for both the residential and utility application, the cost advantage compared to silicon is in the range of 10-20% depending on lower or higher end of the predicted range of the perovskite manufacturing.
