The global Encapsulant Materials for PV Modules market size is predicted to grow from US$ 6955 million in 2025 to US$ 7795 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.9% from 2025 to 2031.
An encapsulant is used to provide adhesion between the solar cells, the top surface and the rear surface of the PV module. The encapsulant should be stable at elevated temperatures and high UV exposure. It should also be optically transparent and should have a low thermal resistance. EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) is the most commonly used encapsulant material. EVA comes in thin sheets which are inserted between the solar cells and the top surface and the rear surface. This sandwich is then heated to 150 °C to polymerize the EVA and bond the module together. Encapsulant materials used in photovoltaic (PV) modules serve multiple purposes; it provides optical coupling of PV cells and protection against environmental stress. Polymers must perform these functions under prolonged periods of high temperature, humidity, and UV radiation. When PV panels were first developed in the 1960s and the 1970s, the dominant encapsulants were based on polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS). Ethylene-co-vinyl acetate (EVA) is currently the dominant encapsulant chosen for PV applications, not because it has the best combination of properties, but because it is an economical option with an established history of acceptable durability. Getting new products onto the market is challenging because there is no room for dramatic improvements, and one must balance the initial cost and performance with the unknowns of long-term service life. Recently, there has been renewed interest in using alternative encapsulant materials with some significant manufacturers switching from EVA to polyolefin elastomer-based (POE) alternatives. The material typically used for this application is Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA). It had made such a name for itself in the market that it was synonymous with encapsulation, enjoying a monopoly for over three decades. Polyolefin (POE), however, is evolving strongly as an alternative, especially with the growing popularity of bifacial technology. Though bifacial is growing at a faster pace, monofacial market is still larger, meaning EVA still dominates this sector.
