Building Integrated Photovoltaics - BIPV and BAPV: Market Drivers and Challenges, Technology Issues, Competitive Landscape, and Global Market Forecasts
Building Integrated Photovoltaics - BIPV and BAPV: Market Drivers and Challenges, Technology Issues, Competitive Landscape, and Global Market Forecasts
The building industry in the United States and in many other parts of the
world has faced severe challenges, with continued low housing starts and new
builds for some time. At the same time, the global solar industry has been
subjected to severe reductions in financial subsidies in key markets that,
until recently, were the savior of the industry. The emergent building
integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and building applied photovoltaics (BAPV)
market, which straddles the two industries, offers a new way to develop
revenue streams for both parties. Though it has drawn scant attention, until
recently, from the solar industry's major players, BIPV is set to become one
of the fastest-growing segments in the sector, with up to 4.6 GW of
installations forecast through 2017.
Reductions in feed-in tariffs and other support schemes for solar energy have
caused massive upheaval throughout the world. Despite the sharp reduction of
financial incentives and the ongoing economic troubles in the Eurozone,
however, Western Europe remains the largest market for BIPV products. Other
notable new markets for BIPV that are likely to emerge through 2017 include
Eastern Europe (Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia, Poland, and Ukraine), Asia
Pacific (especially Australia, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand),
Latin America (Brazil and Chile), and South Africa. While the solar industry
has faced numerous challenges in the United States, the U.S. government is
paying greater attention to BIPV, as shown by the Department of Energy's
approval of an additional $145 million in funding for the SunShot Initiative -
and specifically BIPV development programs - in September 2011.
This Pike Research report examines the expanding global markets for BIPV and
BAPV including a comprehensive analysis of demand drivers and economics,
technology issues, and key industry players. The report includes detailed
profiles of 53 companies in the sector as well as a detailed review of current

Press Release
Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Revenue to Quadruple to $2.4 Billion by 2017
August 23rd, 2012
Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Building Integrated Photovoltaics - BIPV and BAPV: Market Drivers and Challenges, Technology Issues, Competitive Landscape, and Global Market Forecasts" by Navigant Research (formerly Pike Research).
The worldwide market for BIPV and building applied photovoltaics (BAPV) will quadruple over the next five years, growing from $606 million in 2012 to more than $2.4 billion in 2017.
Under a more aggressive forecast scenario, the worldwide BIPV market could reach $3.7 billion in 2017, the study concludes.
"The emerging BIPV market, which straddles the building industry and the solar power industry, offers a new way to develop revenue streams for both parties," says research director Kerry-Ann Adamson. "Solar suppliers have begun to partner with building and construction companies, as well as designers and architects, and have gained access to completely new markets. At the same time, building companies have started to recognize new opportunities in green buildings and in retrofitting existing homes and commercial facilities."
While Western Europe will be the largest market for BIPV products, growth in the sector will be evenly distributed across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific, according to the report. Notable new markets for BIPV that are likely to emerge through 2017 include Eastern Europe (Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia, Poland, and Ukraine), Asia Pacific (especially Australia, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand), Latin America (Brazil and Chile), and South Africa. While the solar industry has faced numerous challenges in the United States, the U.S. government is paying greater attention to BIPV, as shown by the Department of Energys approval of an additional $145 million in funding for the SunShot Initiative - and specifically BIPV development programs - in September 2011.
