Press release from: MarketGenics India Pvt. Ltd.

Photovoltaics (PV) Films Market to Reach USD 27.6 Billion by 2035, Driven by Thin-Film Adoption and BIPV Applications

Photovoltaics (PV) Films Market to Reach USD 27.6 Billion by 2035, Driven by Thin-Film Adoption and BIPV Applications

The global Photovoltaics (PV) Films Market is projected to grow from USD 9.9 billion in 2025 to USD 27.6 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period.

This surge is powered by rapid adoption of thin-film PV films (which account for nearly 60% of the market in 2025), advances in tandem and perovskite technologies, and growing deployment in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), flexible mobility applications, and utility-scale projects that prize lightweight, low-cost, large-area modules.

MarketGenics identifies PV films as a strategic technology that accelerates solar integration across surfaces and products where rigid modules cannot go - from façades and windows to vehicles and portable power systems.

Recent Developments Shaping the Market
JinkoSolar Unveils High-Efficiency PV Film (May 2025)

In May 2025, JinkoSolar launched a next-generation high-efficiency PV film designed to boost light transmittance and durability for thin, large-area modules - a product aimed at improving module performance in challenging climates.

Trina Solar Releases Advanced Encapsulation Film (June 2025)

In June 2025, Trina Solar introduced an innovative encapsulation PV film with enhanced thermal resistance and moisture barrier properties to support ultra-thin and large-area modules, improving long-term reliability for utility and distributed projects.

These product moves reflect a broader industry pivot toward higher-performance materials, improved encapsulation, and roll-to-roll production scalability.

Photovoltaics (PV) Films Market Forecast 2035
The market is set to create an incremental opportunity of USD 17.7 billion between 2025 and 2035 (USD 27.6 Bn - USD 9.9 Bn).

Asia Pacific is the clear leader, commanding 57% of 2025 revenues (about USD 5.7 billion) thanks to strong manufacturing capacity, large utility projects, and policy support.

Thin-film PV films dominate the technology mix (~60% share), driven by CdTe, CIGS and emerging perovskite tandems that balance cost, weight and form-factor flexibility.

Consumer electronics and BIPV are important growth corridors for flexible and transparent films; transportation and aerospace remain attractive niche markets.

By 2035, PV films will be widely used where flexibility, weight and aesthetic integration matter - from curved façades and canopies to EV roofs and portable power fabrics.

Key Drivers, Challenges, and Opportunities
Driver - Lightweight, Flexible Solar for New Surfaces

PV films enable solar on curved, semi-transparent and weight-sensitive applications. Roll-to-roll manufacturing and tandem approaches (perovskite + thin film) are increasing module efficiencies while reducing balance-of-system costs - unlocking BIPV, portable and vehicle-integrated use cases.

Restraint - Material Costs and Supply Constraints

Advanced thin-film technologies rely on scarce inputs (tellurium, indium) and complex deposition/encapsulation processes, which raise production costs and create supply-chain vulnerability. Recycling and lifecycle management for certain chemistries (e.g., CdTe) add regulatory and cost considerations.

Opportunity - BIPV, Tandem Cells and Large-Area Roll-Outs

Building integration, transparent films for windows, and perovskite tandem upgrades offer premium value propositions: higher energy density per surface area and aesthetic integration. Encapsulation innovations (Trina Solar) and high-transmittance films (JinkoSolar) broaden commercial viability for architects and OEMs.

Key Trend - Tandem & Perovskite Integration with Thin Films
The sector is migrating from single-layer thin films to tandem architectures combining perovskites with CdTe or CIGS to push efficiencies beyond 25%.

These hybrids promise the sweet spot of light weight, high conversion and lower carbon footprint for both utility and BIPV applications.

Segmental Insights
Thin-Film PV Films (~60% share): Lead due to flexibility, lower substrate cost and suitability for BIPV, portable modules and curved surfaces.

Consumer Electronics (~30% share): A major application vertical, driven by demand for integrated, lightweight solar on devices and wearables.

Thin Film Technologies: CdTe, CIGS and a-Si remain core; perovskite and organic PV films grow as tandem/backsheet innovations mature.

Regional Highlights
Asia Pacific (57% share): Dominant market hub - manufacturing scale, PLI-type incentives and massive utility deployments underpin leadership.

North America & Europe: Strong demand for BIPV, rooftop upgrades and sustainability-driven specifications; Europe emphasizes recycling and material safety standards.

Middle East & Africa / South America: Emerging demand for lightweight utility solutions and off-grid/portable systems in remote or hot climates.

Competitive Landscape
The PV films market is moderately consolidated: Tier-1 module giants and materials firms dominate product scale, while nimble innovators push perovskite, encapsulation and roll-to-roll process improvements.

Notable players cited in the report: First Solar, Trina Solar, JinkoSolar, Hanergy, Oxford PV, Saule Technologies, SunFlex Materials, NanoFlex Power, Panasonic, Solar Frontier.

Competition focuses on: raising film efficiency, improving moisture/thermal stability, lowering material intensity, and scaling roll-to-roll manufacturing.

Future Outlook
Over 2025-2035, PV films will evolve from niche flexible products to mainstream components of solar strategy where form factor, weight and integration matter.

The winners will be those that combine high-efficiency tandem stacks, robust encapsulation, and scalable roll-to-roll production, while solving material supply and end-of-life recycling challenges.

If perovskite tandems and encapsulation breakthroughs deliver durable, high-efficiency modules at scale, PV films will transform façades, vehicles and portable power - producing a lot more watts from a lot less visible footprint.

Prominent Companies Operating in the Global PV Films Market:

First Solar, JinkoSolar, Trina Solar, Hanergy, Oxford PV, Saule Technologies, NanoFlex Power, SunFlex Materials, Panasonic, Solar Frontier, and other key players.
