San Francisco, 10 April 2024: The Report Solar Backsheet Films Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Fluoropolymer, Non-fluoropolymer), By Thickness (Less Than 100mm, 100-500mm, Greater Than 500mm), By Installation, By Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

The global solar backsheet films market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.41 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.8% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for solar backsheet films is propelled by their rising demand for renewable energy for the manufacturing of solar photovoltaic panels.

The market is projected to grow owing to factors such as solar PV projects under construction and in the planning stage coupled with government support are expected to increase the cumulative installed capacity of solar energy over the forecast period.

The technological advancement manufacturers are rapidly progressing in developing and launching new products, joint ventures, and other strategic initiatives. For instance, in February 2023, Endurans Solar, a solar panel backsheet supplier, announced an investment of significant equity for the expansion of their domestic manufacturing of solar backsheets.

The demand for solar PV backsheet films are propelled by their rising demand for renewable energy for the manufacturing of solar photovoltaic panels. Furthermore, since solar energy is an inexpensive form of energy, it has witnessed a rise in demand and gained high traction in recent years. In addition, favorable support from the government such as government incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and feed-in tariffs for encouraging installation of solar PV systems is anticipated to propel the demand for solar backsheet film during the forecast period.

The U.S. solar backsheet film market is projected to grow with a significant CAGR over the forecast period owing to factors such as solar PV projects under construction and in the planning stage coupled with government support are expected to increase the cumulative installed capacity of solar energy over the forecast period. For instance, as per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2022, the solar PV capacity additions in the U.S. increased by 38.7% in comparison to 2021.

The government has implemented various new incentive schemes to promote the adoption of solar and other renewable technologies. For instance, in August 2022, the U.S. government launched the Inflation Reduction Act which allotted USD 369 billion for the promotion of the renewable energy industry. As a result, various companies have initiated the construction of new solar PV manufacturing plants and are increasing the capacity of their existing units.

For instance, in February 2023, Silicon Ranch announced that the company would increase its solar power plant’s energy generation capacity. First Solar will supply 1.5 GW of advanced American thin film solar modules, in addition to its prior agreements which include the installation of a total of 4 GW of solar PV panels by 2027.

Based on type, the fluoropolymers dominated the market with a revenue share of above 62.0% in 2022. Since fluoropolymers offer high resistance to temperature, water, and ultraviolet (UV) radiations, they are suitable for the manufacturing of solar PV backsheet films.

• Thicker backsheet films provide improved protection to solar modules against harsh environmental conditions, withstanding factors such as extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV radiation for longer durations
• Flat roof solar installations tend to be more cost-effective than traditional pitched roof installations. Flat roofs are typically easier to access, require less complex racking systems, and often involve shorter cable runs. This can lead to lower installation and maintenance costs
• Solar panels allow commercial businesses to generate their own electricity, reducing or even eliminating their reliance on grid-supplied power. Over time, this can result in significant cost savings on energy bills, which is particularly appealing for businesses with high energy consumption
• China is a lucrative market for investments compared to other Western economies. China accounted for the highest solar PV demand in the Asia Pacific on account of the increasing number of large-scale solar project installations in the country. Furthermore, India is recognized as one of the fastest-growing economies in the Asia Pacific

Fluoropolymers are inert and have inherently low surface energy, hence the surfaces must be further treated for adhesion to the junction box and to the encapsulant. The solar backsheets composed of fluoropolymer outer layers prevent embrittlement of the film as a whole hence witnessing a rise in demand.

Flat roof solar installation dominated the market with a revenue share of above 42.0% in 2022. Flat roof solar installations tend to be more cost-effective than traditional pitched-roof installations. Flat roofs are typically easier to access, require less complex racking systems, and often involve shorter cable runs. This can lead to lower installation and maintenance costs.

Solar Backsheet Films Market Report Scope

The flat roofs provide a large, unobstructed space for solar panel installation. This implies that a significant amount of solar capacity can be installed on a relatively small footprint. For commercial and industrial buildings with limited land space, flat roofs are an ideal location for solar arrays. Hence increasing the demand for solar backsheet films during the forecast period.
