One of the major drivers of the solar PV glass market is the growing demand for clean and renewable sources of energy. The adoption of solar energy is increasing due to the rising concerns over environmental pollution, warming, and the depletion of non-renewable resources. For instance, China, which is the largest market for solar PV glass, is aiming to increase the share of renewable energy in its total energy mix to 35% by 2030, as part of its commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement.

Increasing demand for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV): BIPV refers to the integration of solar PV modules into building materials such as glass, facades, and roofing systems. This trend is gaining popularity due to the aesthetic appeal of integrated solar panels, as well as the potential cost savings from using the building material itself as a source of energy. For example, Tesla has launched a range of solar glass roof tiles that can generate electricity and replace traditional roofing materials.

Asia Pacific dominated the solar PV glass market. This can be attributed to the significant investments being made in the renewable energy sector by countries like China and India. Additionally, favorable government initiatives and policies promoting the use of solar energy are driving the growth of the market in the region. According to the International Energy Agency, Asia is expected to account for two-thirds of the renewable energy growth by 2025, which further strengthens the dominance of the region in the solar PV glass market.
