Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Global Bilayer Membrane Heterojunction Organic Solar Cell (OPV) Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Growing focus on renewable energies and introduction of eco-friendly technologies

The demand for environmentally friendly solar technology is growing, which bodes well for the organic photovoltaic industry. Organic solar cells have an advantage over conventional counterparts in that they can be made in a variety of shapes and colors. As a result, they are the best choice for applications that value flexibility and design over efficiency. Furthermore, various governments' subsidies and tax breaks are boosting growth. Companies use software as a service to outsource their business processes to a third party so that they can focus on their core competencies. This will result in organizations' lower handling and maintenance costs, propelling the market's growth rate to new heights. This reduces the costs associated with procurement operations and streamlines procurement processes.

Other important market drivers include rising urbanization, industrialization, and the growing need to achieve benchmarking during the forecast period. Furthermore, the need to manage compliance policies and agreements, combined with rising raw material availability, is expected to drive the market's growth rate.

Opportunities

• The need for sustainable energy requirements due to growing urbanization

Global population growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization increase the demand for an adequate electricity supply. Many governments’ priorities the use of renewable energy sources in energy production. Market participants are looking for ways to meet the increased demand for organic solar cells from consumers all over the world. The market for bilayer membrane heterojunction organic solar cell is expanding as photovoltaic technology advances and solar power facilities in developing countries expand.

Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of stability and mechanical strength

Organic photovoltaic cells are inexpensive and simple to manufacture, but they lack the mechanical robustness and stability of inorganic solar cells such as silicon-based solar cells. According to statistics, the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells typically ranges between 11% and 20%, while inorganic photovoltaic cells have the same range. Because solar panel efficiency is a key market criterion, the difference in overall efficiency between organic and inorganic photovoltaic cells due to lower stability and mechanical strength tends to influence and restrain the global organic cell (OPV) market.

• Lack of skilled professionals

A lack of expert knowledge and technical expertise, as well as a lack of awareness, will create challenges for the market in terms of smooth growth in market value. Furthermore, a lack of skilled professionals in data science, combined with a slow adoption rate in developing economies, will stymie market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Bilayer Membrane Heterojunction Organic Solar Cell (OPV) Market

The coronavirus pandemic has a significant negative impact on the global market for organic solar cells and other industries and manufacturing processes. The value chain disruption hampered overall solar cell production, resulting in significant losses for producers competing in the global market for organic solar cells. Total market growth has been hampered by a labor shortage, stringent restrictions imposed by the global shutdown, and a supply shortage. On the other hand, market participants are stepping up their efforts to make up for losses caused by the COVID-19 epidemic and are looking for new ways to address market difficulties. Rising initiatives by market participants to expand their product offerings are driving the organic solar cell market.

Recent Development

• In November 2020, Heliatek GmbH announced that their OPV product installation for its first project in Japan would take place in collaboration with Looop Inc. and Ritsumeikan University. The company installed its HeliaSol (prototype) solar films at a bus stop on the University's Biwako-Kusatsu Campus in Shiga Prefecture (near Kyto). This project is in line with Japan's efforts to use clean and renewable energy. This increased the company's international market presence.
