Report Description
The global building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market size was USD 14.01 Bn in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 86.8 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 20.3% during 2023–2031. Increasing demand for renewable energy and increasing solar energy consumption & installation are likely to boost the market.
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a technology that integrates solar panels or solar cells directly into the building envelope. This means that the building’s outer surfaces such as its roof, walls, or windows are designed to generate electricity from sunlight. BIPV systems are incorporated into both new and existing buildings and are used to generate electricity for a wide range of applications, from lightning and appliances to heating and cooling systems.
BIPV technology offers several advantages over traditional solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. BIPV systems are integrated into the building envelope, they can often be installed with minimal impact on the building’s design or appearance. This can make them more aesthetically pleasing and less obtrusive than traditional solar panels.
BIPV systems help to reduce a building’s energy consumption and carbon footprint by generating clean, renewable electricity on-site. They can also provide a source of backup power in the event of a power outage or grid failure.
BIPV technology is still evolving, but it holds great promise for the future of sustainable building design and construction. With continued advances in solar cell technology, BIPV systems are likely to become even more efficient and cost-effective.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic restrains the building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market. The supply chain and the production of photovoltaic modules has disrupted, due to the pandemic imposed by the government.
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Market Dynamics
Major Drivers:
Increasing demand for BIPV materials, due to the rising integration of solar energy solutions in several commercial buildings is expected to drive the market. High demand for solar power generation, due to the growth in environmental concerns towards depleting non-renewable power such as coal and oil is anticipated to fuel the market.
Existing Restraints:
The slow growth of solar power in developing countries is expected to restrain the building-integrated photovoltaics market. Moreover, the high cost of integration of photovoltaics into the building envelope can hinder market growth in the coming years.
Emerging Opportunities:
High efficiency and cost reduction of solar photovoltaics are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players. However, increasing investments in renewable energy and a surge in rooftop solar systems are further anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the market players.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Market Segment Insights
Based on application, the building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market is divided into glass, roof, facade, wall, and others. The roof segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during the projection period, due to the easy availability of a larger panel installation area of BIPV. The BIPV roofing provides the needed electricity for efficient homes to reach net-zero energy use.
The wall segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years, owing to the strong incidence of sunlight. High demand for building integrated walls is increasing, due to the advanced low-weight solar panels.
In terms of technology, the global market is segregated into thin film, crystalline silicon, and others. The crystalline silicon segment is expected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, due to its higher resistance to adverse weather conditions and it has high strength. Crystalline silicon cells are integrated into building roofs by using smart mounting systems, which replace roof sections and keep their integrity intact.
The thin film segment is anticipated to account for a major market share in the coming years, owing to rapid technological advancements. Thin film building integrated photovoltaics are used for curved surfaces, due to their superior flexibility.
On the basis of end-user, the building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market is segmented into commercial, residential, and industrial. The commercial segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period, due to the increasing awareness about zero-emission green infrastructure. BIPV improves the aesthetic appeal of commercial buildings and it helps in cost-saving of electricity consumption, which in turn is likely to boost the commercial segment.
The industrial segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period, as it reduces reliance on non-renewable energy sources. BIPV materials are used to replace conventional industrial structural building materials that cover skylights, facades, and roofs.
In terms of region, the global building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the increasing focus on developing renewable power. Emerging countries such as India and China have low-cost production, which is expected to boost the market in the region.
The market in North America is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years, due to the increasing adoption of aesthetically appealing solar energy systems. High disposable incomes of consumers and advances in the production of BIPV solar panels are likely to boost the demand for the product in the coming years. This factor is likely to drive the market in the region.
