Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Market Analysis, Service and Size to 2022


The global Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Market is expected to reach USD 130.6 million by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing concern regarding detrimental environmental impact associated with fossil fuel based power generation plants is expected to remain a key driving factor for global DSSC market.

Governments across various countries have been promoting electricity generation through renewable energy sources. Favorable government initiatives to promote off-grid solar power installations particularly in developed economies of Europe and North America are also expected to have a positive influence on the market growth.

European government has been providing incentives such as feed-in tariffs, cost subsidies and tax relief to promote renewable energy. High cost to performance ratio is another factor that is anticipated to positively impact DSSC market growth.

Rising R&D in this field is expected to lead commercialization of on-grid DSSC modules. Currently, DSSC has high penetration in off-grid applications including portable charging and building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). Presence of organic liquid electrolyte poses sealing and toxicity issues and is anticipated to hinder industry commercialization.

Portable charging emerged as the largest DSSC application with global revenue exceeding USD 16 million in 2014. Third generation thin film PVs are increasing being used for portable battery charging solutions including solar chargers, solar bags and wireless keyboards owing to their ability to provide optimum wattage in these applications.

Further key findings from the report suggest:
  • Global Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Market was worth USD 49.6 million in 2014 and is expected to reach  USD 130 million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2015 to 2022
  • BIPV/BAPV is anticipated to be the fastest growing application segment at an estimated CAGR of 13.0% from 2015 to 2022. DSSC ability to provide optimum power for these applications is anticipated to raise product demand over the forecast period.
  • Europe was the leading consumer and accounted for over 35% of total revenue in 2014. Favorable government initiatives to promote off-grid solar power installations particularly in UK, France, Germany and Italy are anticipated to drive regional market over the forecast period. European Commission has been providing incentives in the form of feed-in tariffs, cost subsidies and tax relief to promote renewable energy implementation.
  • Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest growth of 13.6% from 2015 to 2022. Favorable government initiatives in countries such as India, China and Taiwan to supply electricity to remote locations have encouraged government towards deploying off-grid systems using renewable energy sources. Rapid urbanization coupled with surging product demand in portable electronic products such as smart phones, portable charging products is expected to drive DSSC penetration in the region.
  • Major companies operating in global DSSC market include Konica Minolta Sensing Europe B.V., Dyesol, Fujikura Ltd., G24 Power Ltd., Exeger Sweden AB, 3GSolar Photovoltaics, and Merck KGaA.
