Europe is expected to be driven by a positive outlook for renewables with the European Union accelerating the pace of its renewables installation, with a stronger rooftop deployment as a key element to meet REPowerEU’s targets.

In 2021, the continent accounted for more than 43% of the market share in BIPV, with a faster implementation in Italy and Germany according to the US-based research firm.

Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific market will expand at a rapid pace until 2031 with Japan and China showing higher growth in BIPV.

The largest segment in 2021 was facade applications with nearly 48%, with demand especially strong in developed nations with “well-established electricity distribution systems”, most notably in the commercial market.

Crystalline silicon cells have dominated the market in 2021 making up 68% of deployment due to their high efficiency and low cost to install in rooftops.
