Polymer Solar Cells Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Junction Type and, by Application : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Polymer solar cells are a special category of flexible solar cells made up of large polymeric molecules that produce electricity from sunlight using the photovoltaic effect. Generally, organic molecules are used in the construction of polymers solar cells and thus these are also termed as organic solar cells. There are several other types of polymer solar cells including the stable amorphous silicon type, which is most commercially used and is made up of highly purified silicon crystals. The optical absorption coefficient of these polymeric molecules is on the higher side. These solar cells are lightweight, easily disposable, and customizable on a molecular level.

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

The outbreak of the COVID-19 in pandemic has severely impacted the global polymer solar cells market.

• Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the global economy was on a downfall which resulted in the lowering of disposable income among the consumers across the globe. As a result, the demand for electronics and electrical gadgets and appliances decreased significantly and resulted in the lowering of need of polymer solar cells in the market. 
• The nationwide lockdowns imposed by several governments to contain the virus imposed most of the business activities to shut down. As a result there was a decrease in demand for energy in majorcommercial places like malls, offices, and others. This has caused decrease in demand for polymer solar cells in different commercial places thereby affecting the market.
• The lack of competitive financial solutions caused due to the economic slowdown along with the restricted growth prospects caused as a result of the uncertainty over future power demand have also acted as a major challenge for the market.
• China is a major producer of polymer solar cells. However, the complete shutdown of the country since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely hampered the growth of the global polymer solar cells market.
