Thereby propels a positive impact on market growth. The growth in the population, rising developments in the infrastructure, and flourishing industrial sectors are some factors that contribute to the significant rise in the electricity demand.

Organic Photovoltaic have received widespread attention due to promising qualities, such as solution processability, tuneable electronic properties, low temperature manufacture, and cheap and light materials. The OVPs have higher efficiencies and it remain advantageous due to low material toxicity, cost, and environmental impact. Soluble organic molecules enable roll-to-roll processing techniques and allow for low cost manufacturing. This low cost manufacturing may be a driving factor for the growth of the market for OPV technology. Additionally, the low efficiencies of OPV cells are related to their small exciton diffusion length and low carrier motilities. This results in the use of thin active layers that affect overall device performance. These are the driving factors that help to fuel the market for global OPV technology.

However, the difficulties in the generation of electric power are considered as one of the challenging factors that hinder the growth of the market. Moreover, the shorter life span of the OPV is another factor that restricts market growth.
