Polysilicon Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Grade (Electronic Grade and Solar Grade), By Form (Granules, Chunks and Rods), By Product Type, By Technology, By Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Polysilicon Market is accounted for $10.22 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $23.88 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period. Metallurgical-grade silicon is used to develop polysilicon, also known as polycrystalline silicon. It is a very pure variety of silicon made up of numerous smaller crystals. This substance is an essential component used in the production of solar cells and other electronic devices.
According to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the total global solar capacity expansion increased by 19% in 2021, recording 133 GW additional installations. Furthermore, as per World Economic Forum, in 2021, for the first time, solar and wind together generated over 10% of the total electricity across the world, with solar power accounting for around 5% of the share.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Demand for solar power
An increase in the demand for polysilicon from the solar power industry is the main factor driving the market growth rate. The development and expansion of various end-user verticals in emerging economies, as well as the rising demand for polysilicon for a range of industrial applications, including the production of multi-crystalline solar panels, electronics, civilian small solar equipment, and others, will also directly and favourably affect the market's growth rate.
Restraint:
Insufficient Raw Materials and High Costs
Lack of demand and supply for raw materials as a result of the lockup and price volatility will be a significant barrier to the market's growth. The market's growth rate will be decelerated by the high cost of R&D, stringent government regulations on industrial operations, rising import and export taxes, and severe international trade barriers. The market's capacity for growth will also be restricted by high capital costs.
Opportunity:
Government initiatives
An increase in industrialization, a greater reliance on renewable energy sources, an increase in the number of small and medium-sized businesses, particularly in developing countries, and a growing emphasis on technological advancements and modernization of production methods will all contribute to the industry's growth. The government will also make greater efforts to reduce the cost of solar products.
Threat:
Use of Capital Intensive Manufacturing Process
The development of a manufacturing facility is a costly venture that also needs cutting-edge equipment and a highly qualified workforce. At present, China controls the market, producing about 80% of the world's goods. A silicon chip shortage brought on by pandemic-related supply chain disruptions had an effect on all industries related to semiconductor electronics, including the automotive and consumer electronics sectors, which depend on semiconductor components. Several nations have realised the significance of domestic production and its geopolitical implications for their semiconductor-dependent industries after witnessing supply chain vulnerabilities.
COVID-19 Impact:
In 2020, China dominated the world market and served as the central focus of the COVID-19 outbreak. The regional lockdown restrictions that were imposed during the pandemic disrupted supply chains and had a negative impact on many end-use industries. Additionally, trade restrictions, labour and raw material shortages, a lack of freight containers, and logistical difficulties all contributed to the pandemic's disruption of the global supply chain. Moreover, the capacity for producing semiconductors was significantly impacted by the lack of raw materials, which led to a total lack of silicon chips.
The photovoltaic segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Due to the widespread use of materials in the production of semiconductors and solar photovoltaic panels, the photovoltaics segment is expected to dominate the market during the projection period. However, the main factor driving this segment's growth is the rising global demand for the installation of solar PV systems, which in turn drives up demand.
The electronics grade segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to the electronics sector's rapid growth and a rise in solar energy usage, the electronics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Manufacturers are considering other renewable energy options, like solar energy, in a variety of business sectors due to growing concerns about the depletion of conventional energy sources and the sustainability of the environment. Moreover, solar panels are used as alternative sources of electricity alongside various electrical appliances in power grids and commercial and residential buildings.
Region with largest share:
Because of rising consumption in nations like China, South Korea, and India, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the global market for polysilicon during the estimation period. The nation's 122,000-ton annual production capacity for polysilicon was emerging, according to the Chinese ministry. Additionally, the majority of the largest solar power facilities in the world as of June 2021 were identified in China and India. Moreover, with a total output capacity of 2,245 megawatts, the Bhadla solar farm is located in India's Jodhpur district, Rajasthan.
Region with highest CAGR:
Due to a variety of factors, including an increase in power outages, an immediate need for dependable power supply, rising demand from a range of end-use industries, and an increase in research and development activities, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to have the highest CAGR in the polysilicon market during the forecast period. Furthermore, rising consumption and demand from nations like China and India, investment policies by the government to support industrial growth, and high economic growth are driving market growth in this region.
Key players in the market

Ltd, OCI Solar Power LLC, Daqo New Energy Corp. and GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited.
Key Developments:
In August 2022, REC Silicon ASA and Mississippi Silicon collaborated to develop a solar supply chain in the United States. They plan to develop this solar supply chain from raw silicon to polysilicon and finally to fully assembled modules.
In April 2022, OCI Company Ltd signed a binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the South Korean-based solar manufacturer Hanwha Solutions, which is a unit of Hanwha, for the supply of polysilicon. The order was valued at about USD 1.2 billion. This has helped the company in increasing its profit margins.
