08 Nov 2012 • by Natalie Aster

The Asian solar photovoltaic (PV) backsheet market is heating up, as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China steal focus from the US and Europe, whose finances and demand for PV continue to suffer due to the global economic crisis.

The new report, "Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Backsheet in Asia-Pacific - Market Size, Average Price, Competitive Landscape and Key Country Analysis to 2020" by GlobalData, states that solar PV power is one of the fastest growing sources of energy in the world, as demand grows for energy security and independence, driving governments to develop reliable renewable power sources. PV backsheets are laminates which protect PV cells and electronics from ultraviolet radiation, severe weather conditions and excess moisture, allowing light to pass through and be converted into solar power.

China boasts more than 10 backsheet manufacturers and exports its products worldwide, and further market growth appears promising as the government holds ambitious targets for development. Foreign players are flooding the Chinese PV market as the country is a low cost module-manufacturing hub, with the market expected to reach a value of $283.3m by 2020.

Japan is also a major manufacturing base for PV backsheets, meeting domestic demand as well as exporting products. The Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011 resulted in the downfall of Japan’s power market, leading the government to strengthen the country’s renewable power capacity.

South Korea and Taiwan represent emerging PV backsheet markets, as companies expand their solar PV backsheet production into these countries.

The Asia-Pacific solar PV backsheet market saw its installed capacity increase from 339 MW in 2006 to 3,260 MW in 2011 at a CAGR of 57%, and further growth is forecast for the next decade owing to highly supportive government policies. Total regional installed capacity is expected to reach 18,151 MW by 2020 at a CAGR of 21% from 2011.
