global organic photovoltaics (OPV) market size was USD 120.3 million in 2021 and market is projected to touch USD 1552.30 million by 2031 at CAGR 28.9%.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the organic photovoltaics (OPV) market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.
Organic photovoltaics (OPV) is a type of solar cell technology that uses organic materials to convert sunlight into electricity. These solar cells are made using carbon-based polymers, which can be synthesized using simple chemical reactions. OPV cells are typically lightweight, flexible, and thin, making them suitable for a range of applications, such as building-integrated photovoltaics, portable electronics, and wearable devices.
OPV cells work by absorbing light energy, which causes electrons to be excited and move to a higher energy state. These electrons are then transferred to an electrode, creating a flow of electric current. The most common organic materials used in OPV cells are polymers, small molecules, and carbon nanotubes.
COVID-19 Impact: The Disruption of the Supply Chain Had an Effect on Market Value
The market for organic photovoltaics (OPV) has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic, among other businesses. Because of the pandemic's disruption of global supply lines, there are now shortages of the raw materials, parts, and machinery required to make OPV modules. This has caused production and delivery delays, which have had an impact on the market's overall supply of OPV modules.
LATEST TRENDS
"Large-Scale Production and Increased Effectiveness will Stimulate Market Expansion "
OPV industry is the development of new materials and fabrication techniques that have led to higher efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. This has made OPV technology more competitive with traditional silicon-based photovoltaics. OPV technology is becoming more viable for large-scale production due to the development of roll-to-roll (R2R) processing techniques. This has made the production process faster and more cost-effective, which could lead to lower prices for OPV modules in the future.
