Asia Pacific Leads the Global TOPCon Solar Cell Market with a Share of 52.37% in 2024

Global TOPCon Solar Cell Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global TOPCon solar cell market will be $13.56 billion in 2024 with a CAGR of 23.15% from 2024 to 2029.

TOPCon cell technology is a revolutionary passivated contact solar cell, which consists of an ultra-thin tunnel oxide and a phosphorus-doped silicon layer.

TOPCon cell uses a micro-nano tunneling oxide layer, a carrier-selective microcrystalline silicon film laminated functional structure on the back, and cutting-edge and high-efficiency passivation contact technology. This novel structure exhibits a two-way enhancement in passivation performance and electrical conductivity, resulting in significant cell conversion efficiency and power output gains. The tunnel oxide layer's structure further minimizes subsurface recombination, considerably improving cell conversion efficiency.

Market News

The highly efficient TOPCon battery architecture was originally developed by Fraunhofer and first demonstrated in 2013, demonstrating its record efficiency. In 2024, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems was the first research institution in Europe to switch to large-area M10 silicon wafers. TOPCon solar cells immediately achieved a very good efficiency of 24.0%. The results were presented for the first time at the 20th session of the Fraunhofer ISE Photovoltaic Technology Advisory Board.

Asia Pacific Leads the Market.

Sustained economic growth and improvement of living standards in Asia will make its member countries become major energy consumers in the foreseeable future. A study by BP (British Petroleum Company) shows that by 2040, Asia, including China and India, will account for 43% of global energy demand and at the same time account for more than 50% of energy demand growth. In contrast, the energy demand of 36 countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (including the largest economies in America and Europe) will be the same as the current situation. The relatively low labor cost in Asia, the improvement of industrialization level, and the development of regional economic cooperation are some main factors supporting the growth of this industry in this region. China, India, and other emerging economies in Asia, with the improvement of economic level and the development of potential downstream markets, have driven the growth of the TOPCon Solar Cell market.

China has become one of the most important suppliers of non-fossil fuel-based energy and technology. As the world's largest industrial chain cluster of solar power generation and the largest exporter of products, China has a rich application market, a good investment environment, and the largest number of invention and application patents. China's solar cell industry has a complete industrial chain system from the production of high-purity crystalline silicon upstream to the efficient production of solar cells in the middle reaches to the construction and application of solar photovoltaic power plants in downstream. According to the China PV Industry Association in its "China PV Industry Development Roadmap 2023-2024", TOPCon has consolidated its position as a mainstream technology, and its market share is expected to rise sharply from 23% in 2023 to 60% in 2024, which is expected to remain high in the next five years.
