The global Photovoltaic Module Recycling market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1142 million in 2025 to US$ 1858 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2025 to 2031.
Photovoltaic module reuse provides an ecological and economical way to recycle photovoltaic modules. Can recover and recycle raw materials such as silicon, glass or metal in solar modules. By recycling and reuse PV modules, not only is there the benefit of preventing the material waste ending up in landfill, it will also create more green jobs and produce revenue from the raw materials being recovered and reuse, which is known as the “circular economy”.
China has implemented the Renewable Energy Law since 2006, in which Article 4 clearly states that, the State gives first priority to the exploration of renewable energy. Over the years, various departments of the Chinese government have successively issued a large number of policies, covering production, sales, taxation, subsidies and other aspects. After setting the carbon neutrality goal in 2021, from a national perspective, the upgrading of the energy structure is ever imperative, and therefore the optoelectronic industry has great potential. The European Commission released the Net-Zero Industry Act in 2023. This bill aims to stimulate local manufacturing in Europe, reduce import dependence on China, and ensure that at least 40% of the EU"s clean energy demand can be met by 2030. The EU targets an installed solar capacity of 600 GW. Overall, the European market still has a lot of room for development. US 2022 release of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes $369 billion for energy security and climate change investments. For the photovoltaic industry, the bill stimulates its development from multiple aspects such as corporate and individual tax credits, production subsidies, and loans throughout the industry chain, and revitalizes the domestic manufacturing industry in the United States. Japanese authorities plan to make solar panels mandatory for new residential buildings in Tokyo from 2025 onwards. It is estimated that by 2030, photovoltaic power generation will account for 14%-16% of Japan"s total power generation, and the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic systems will be about 117.60 GW.
