By Module
By module, the global perovskite market is segmented into rigid and flexible, wherein, the rigid segment is projected to generate over 82% market revenue. Rigid Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) have shown promising results in the field of converting sunlight into electricity. With a champion-cell efficiency of 19.11%, rigid PSCs are more efficient than their flexible counterparts. Additionally, they are capable of processing temperatures over 250°C, making them more versatile in their application.
Most of the consumers around the globe are preferring the product as it offers improved stability and durability, making them suitable for long-term installations. They are more resilient to changes in temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet light and are less likely to suffer from mechanical damage. Furthermore, rigid PSCs offer cost-effectiveness as they require fewer materials and a lower process temperature during fabrication, resulting in a lower cost of production. These advantages make rigid PSCs a more attractive option for many applications.
By Structure
The global perovskite market is segmented into two main structures: planner perovskite solar cells and mesoporous perovskite solar cells. The planner segment is currently dominating the market, with a market share of over 70%, and is expected to continue its dominance in the years to come.
However, mesoporous perovskite solar cells are also gaining traction in the market, as they offer improved stability and efficiency compared to their planner counterparts. The mesoporous structure enables increased light absorption and improved charge transport, leading to higher conversion efficiency.
