The global photovoltaic glass market was valued at $4.734 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $10.29 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Demand Drivers: Global carbon neutrality goals are driving sustained growth in photovoltaic installations. In 2025, global new installations are expected to reach 550–570 GW, corresponding to a daily melting capacity demand for photovoltaic glass exceeding 100,000 tons, surpassing current production levels.
China's Dominance: China holds over 95% of the global market share. Key manufacturers include Xinyi Solar, Flat Glass Group, and China Electronics (CEC) Rainbow Group, with the top five companies accounting for over 80% of the market.
Emerging Market Potential: Southeast Asia and India show significant growth, while demand in Europe and North America remains steady but may slow in growth.
Product Trends: The penetration rate of double-glass modules is rising (over 85%), driving demand for high-transparency, thinner glass (e.g., 2.0mm, 2.5mm).
Process Innovation: Production processes are shifting toward automation and intelligent manufacturing, with increased demand for large-sized glass processing equipment.
Solar glass is only come with thinner glass, and similar glass size, so, it is same glass size processing with huge quantity. 95% will use with 6 motors or 8 motors straight line double round edging machine (double pencil edger) with corner dubbing. The glass double edger machine must work over 10 meter per min, grinding, washing, coating, drilling are required for solar glass. We are supplying to Xinyi glass.
