Next Generation Solar Cells Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Material (Polycrystalline Silicon, Monocrystalline Silicon, Cadmium Telluride, Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) and Others), By Nanomaterial (Nanowires, Quantum Dots, Graphene) and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Next Generation Solar Cells Market size was valued at US$ 22,809.7 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 73,962.6 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 18.3% from 2025-2031. The Next-generation Organic Solar Cell refers to a form of organic photovoltaic that uses organic electronics, a subset of electronics that converts sunlight into electricity with the help of thin layers of organic semiconductors. The vast majority of these organic photovoltaics are compound cell solar. It has a photosensitive nature of organic matter as a semiconductor material, and to achieve the effect of solar power, the photovoltaic consequence of the voltage is formed with the help of currents. The next-generation organic solar cell materials are substantially more stable at high temperatures and benefit from electro-optical characteristics. Based on the nanomaterial type, the global next-generation solar cells market is segmented into Nanowires, Quantum Dots, and Graphene.

The Quantum Dots segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast years. Due to its distinct size-dependent optoelectronic characteristics. Considering the need to provide a large amount of electricity, low-cost PV techniques are urgently required. To meet cost and performance targets, the emerging third-generation PVs including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), organic photovoltaic (OPV), and quantum-dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) have been introduced. The main features of third-generation PVs are simple manufacturing, low cost, and high performance. The worldwide energy crisis, environmental pollution, stringent regulations, and provisions of government incentives and tax rebates to install solar panels are the primary factors driving the global next-generation organic solar cell market.

Next Generation Solar Cells Market Key Developments

• In January 2020, Denmark's Aarhus University undertook a research project to develop tiny organic PV technology. This technique has the potential to be utilized to create light-based, neural-stimulating scaffolds inside the human body.
