Europe BIPV Market Size Worth $20.4 Billion By 2027 | CAGR: 27.2%

Europe Building-integrated Photovoltaics Market Growth & Trends

The Europe building-integrated photovoltaics market size is expected to reach USD 20.4 billion by 2027, expanding at a 27.2% CAGR during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for crystalline silicon (C Si) based Building-integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) generated the premier revenue share on account of the high strength of the product.

Increasing demand for facade integration stems from the growth of building and construction industry, primarily in the developing economies in European region. The introduction of ventilated photovoltaic facades provides superior benefits such as greater yield in low irradiation and high temperature conditions, reduction of acoustic pollution, elimination of thermal barriers, and superior insulation performance.

The demand for building-integrated photovoltaics in Europe is anticipated to grow on account of the rising demand for aesthetically appealing solar energy-harnessing systems. According to a report published in Netherlands titled The Relative Importance of Aesthetics in the Adoption Process of Solar Panels in the Netherlands, aesthetic value of a solar panel is the greatest variable for 40% of buyers once the price is in a reasonable range. Hence, consumer preference towards BIPV products having good aesthetic value is gaining momentum which is anticipated to drive the market for black colored panels in the region during the forecast period.

Germany is one of the top country level market for the Europe accounting for 25.11% of the market share in 2019. The demand for building-integrated photovoltaics in roofs accounted for the highest market share driven by ease of product installation. BIPVs can be installed easily in the building roofs post-construction of the building as it requires minimal renovations. Besides, the segment has realized high technological advancements, which is expected to result in a decline in the overall installation costs leading to market growth over the forecast period.

Rising concerns regarding environmental pollution caused using non-renewable sources of energy are anticipated to drive the Europe BIPV market over the forecast period. The demand for the integration of photovoltaics stems from the superior aesthetic properties they impart. Building-integrated photovoltaics can replace regular roofs, windows, and building walls without compromising the aesthetics of the building, thereby leading to an increased adoption.

The presence of significant industry participants such as AGC Inc.; Canadian Solar; UAB GLASSBEL BALTIC; Onyx Solar Group Inc.; BiPVco; ISSOL sa; Heliatek GmBH; Polysolar; Flisom; ertex solartechnik GmbH; and Hanergy Mobile Energy Holding Group Limited will further aid market penetration.
