OPV and DSC markets to be worth US$1.3 billion by 2017, claim NanoMarkets

NanoMarkets has published a new report claiming that novel encapsulation and substrate materials are the key to the long-term survival of organic photovoltaics (OPV) and dye-sensitized cell (DSC) photovoltaics. The report, titled 'Encapsulation and Flexible Substrates for Organic and Dye-Sensitized Photovoltaics', predicts that a US$1.3 billion encapsulation and substrate market will be possible by 2017, if manufacturers of these materials can offer products that will facilitate use of OPV and DSC technology into the building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) sector.

NanoMarkets provide analysis of the market for encapsulation and substrate materials for OPV and DSC, including a detailed eight-year forecast of the revenue opportunities that these materials present in these markets.
