Owing to the numerous benefits of solar cell films, the demand for the same has been on the rise over the past few years, thereby benefitting the solar cells market, says the report. Second-generation solar cell films are exemplary with respect to the advantages they offer over their predecessors, which used a much thicker wafer. The advantages of solar cell films include low manufacturing costs, high product efficiency, and zero carbon emissions, which serve the energy needs in an economic manner with a consideration of the environment as well.
The use of solar energy reduces the dependency on conventional fuels for energy needs. This helps save conventional fuels for high-intensity energy production, where solar energy is not effective. Thus, energy security for the long run is ensured as well. In this pursuit, environmental and government agencies are offering subsidies to promote the utilization of solar cell films for commercial and domestic energy needs.
The report divides the global solar cell films market on the basis of product type, end use, and geography. By product type, amorphous silicon, copper indium gallium selenide, and cadmium telluride are the segmnets of the market, amongst which cadmium telluride led the overall market in 2014. The reasons for the high demand for cadmium telluride are longer life, low manufacturing cost, and high product efficiency in the range of 16%-18%, which is the highest among solar cells. The efficiency of cadmium telluride is due to its high sunlight absorption power, which in turn accelerates the energy output of these cells, due to which they are preferred over other solar cell films.

Industrial, commercial, and residential are the major end-use segments of the solar cell films market. The commercial sector exhibits the highest demand for solar cell films due to high electricity needs, especially during peak working hours. The advantage of solar cell films for the commercial sector lies in its unlimited capacity of power supply and low maintenance cost, because of which the energy source is viable for offices, malls and multiplexes, and shopping complexes.
To promote the utilization of solar energy in the commercial sector, governments in several countries, especially in countries that are close to the equator and have high-intensity sunlight for a major part of the year, are offering financial incentives and complimentary installations to harness the energy. Attractive feed-in tariffs are also provided for citizens who supply excess electricity to the grid.
Some major companies operating in the solar cell films market are Heliatek GmbH, 3M, First Solar Inc., and Stion Corporation, among others.
The global solar cell films market has been segmented as follows:

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Virtual pipeline system market - Demand of cleaner energy alternatives, Trends 2025

Powered by the advancing concerns over renewability of energy sources has affected the natural gas industry positively. The transportation of oil and natural gas in a brisk, albeit safe manner has never been such an urgent requirement. With pipelines being the most common approach, they are the primary choice of supply of energy sources. Physical pipelines, being confined to specific geography, are not found to be effective in terms of unfeasible terrains or technically inaccessible areas. As a result, the virtual pipeline industry has been gaining recognition, and is slated to be one of the fastest growing markets in the upcoming years. According to a report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global virtual pipeline industry is anticipated to witness a steady growth during the forecast period of 2017-2025. The industry opportunity is expected to be supported by the brisk acceleration of the demand of transportation of liquid energy resources. Industrial space...
