The global polysilicon market is anticipated to reach USD 104.69 billion by 2030 along with a growth rate of 16.0%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is witnessing significant growth due to the expansion of the solar industry. Polysilicon is a critical raw material in solar panel manufacturing, and the increasing demand for solar energy worldwide is driving the market growth.
Additionally, many governments are recognizing the importance of transitioning to cleaner energy sources, which led to the introduction of a range of incentives and support mechanisms to promote solar energy adoption. These incentives are often financial in nature and include tax credits, subsidies, and grants. This financial attractiveness encourages businesses to expand their use of solar energy, further driving the demand for polysilicon-based solar panels.
The semiconductor industry is persistently expanding to meet the increasing demand for electronic devices, including smartphones, computers, automotive electronics, and IoT devices. As polysilicon is a fundamental material used in semiconductor manufacturing, which led to an increase in demand for polysilicon, in turn, creating lucrative growth opportunities for the market.
The emergence and subsequent adoption of green energy technologies and electric vehicles (EVs) have played a vital role in driving the growth of the market. These technologies require advanced power management and control systems, which require semiconductor components. Polysilicon is integral to these semiconductor manufacturing processes, boosting the demand for polysilicon in the semiconductor industry.
