Organic Photovoltaics Clean Energy Market to Explode 1300%, to Reach $630 Million by 2022

FARMINGTON, Conn., May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Global Information Inc. is pleased to announce two significant new renewable energy market forecasts in the growing field of organic photovoltaics (OPV).

Organic Photovoltaics Technologies, Players and Forecasts 2012-2022
New organic photovoltaics market research, Organic Photovoltaics Technologies, Players and Forecasts 2012-2022 by IDTechEx, estimates that the organic photovoltaics (OPV) market will explode by over 1300% by 2022, from a value of $4.6 million today up to over $630 million in just 10 years. This report develops technology roadmaps and guidelines which forecast improvements in module efficiency, lifetime and costs over the next decade, to provide a practical insight into how the technology is likely to evolve.

In addition to providing an excellent form factor, OPVs combine good performance under indoor lighting conditions with low capital expenditure, and potentially very low energy production costs using printable plastics. The market growth will be predominantly driven by electronics in apparel, posters and PoP smart labels, and off-grid developing world applications. Despite tremendous growth potential, OPVs will nonetheless remain a small player on the greater PV scene, obtaining total market shares <1.5% over the next decade.

Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market – 2012
The critical question of whether performance improvements are likely to help grow addressable markets for OPV or the OPV market's growth will continue to underperform is further addressed in NanoMarkets' new organic photovoltaics market research report Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market 2012.

This report examines the potential for OPV in the building-integrated and/or building-applied PV (BIPV/BAPV) sector in light of strong competition from other emerging PV technologies, particularly from dye-sensitize cell (DSC) and copper-indium-gallium-(di)selenide CIGS PV.

The OPV device markets are considered in light of the various applications they are targeted toward, which include off-grid portable charging, solar shades, conventional panels and BIPV (including flexible BIPV, BIPV glass, and building-applied PV (BAPV), etc.
