Flexible segment is anticipated to witness highest CAGR between 2025 and 2030
By type, the flexible segment is expected to record the highest CAGR in the photovoltaics market, which is fueled by the increasing demand for lightweight, portable, and flexible solar solutions. They can be incorporated into curved surfaces and are well-suited for use in wearables, electric vehicles, building facades, and mobile power systems. Improvements in thin-film technologies and organic photovoltaic materials further contribute to efficiency improvement and cost savings in production. Their ease of transportation and assembly also facilitates broader usage in off-grid and remote areas. These facets of versatility and affordability contribute to the sharp growth in the flexible PV market.
Utilities segment is likely to account for the largest share of photovoltaics market in 2030.
The utilities segment is projected to capture the largest share of the photovoltaics industry in 2030 due to the large-scale solar farm deployments. Rising energy demand, supportive government policies, and declining solar installation costs encourage utility companies to invest heavily in photovoltaic infrastructure. Additionally, the integration of energy storage solutions is making utility-scale solar more viable and reliable. Governments and utilities are increasingly investing in utility-scale solar projects as a cost-effective and scalable solution to transition away from fossil fuels, ensure energy security, and meet climate commitments. These projects benefit from economies of scale, favorable policy support, and declining solar installation costs, making them central to grid-level clean energy expansion.

Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest market share in 2030.
Asia Pacific is driven by robust solar deployment policies, growing energy demand, and strong manufacturing capabilities. Countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Australia are at the forefront of solar adoption, with China alone accounting for a significant portion of global PV module production and installations. The region benefits from high solar irradiance, large-scale land availability, and favorable policy frameworks, including feed-in tariffs, capital subsidies, and renewable energy targets supporting utility-scale and rooftop solar projects. In addition to domestic consumption, it acts as a major export hub for solar components, particularly PV modules and inverters, contributing to cost competitiveness globally. Government initiatives such as China's Belt and Road Initiative and India's National Solar Mission have further spurred investment in solar infrastructure. Furthermore, rapid urbanization, electrification of rural areas, and increasing environmental awareness encourage residential and commercial adoption of PV systems. The region also leads in R&D and innovation, with several players investing in next-generation solar technologies such as perovskite cells and bifacial modules. As a result, it is well-positioned to retain its leadership in the PV market in terms of volume and technological advancement.
