Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2023 - 2035

Thermophotovoltaics Market size is expected to reach USD 20 Billion by 2035, observing nearly 7% CAGR from 2023 to 2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of thermophotovoltaics was USD 10 Billion. This growth of the market is anticipated to be influenced by the growing consumption of energy. An estimated about 579 million terajoules of energy are consumed worldwide each year. The larger part of the energy people utilizes, approximately 82%, is derived from fossil fuels. Hence, this has shortened the life span of fossil fuels. Therefore, the demand for thermophotovoltaics is predicted to have risen, since thermophotovoltaics (TPV) generators convert heat into electricity by utilizing the photovoltaic effect.

Furthermore, owing to the excessive use of fossil fuels the emission of greenhouse gases is also growing. Hence, there has been rising encouragement by the government for the adoption of clean energy in various countries. Therefore, the market demand for thermophotovoltaics is poised to have significant growth.

Global Thermophotovoltaics Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Demand for Hybrid Vehicles In order to keep batteries at a constant state of charge, hybrid vehicles require electrical energy. The electric motor then uses the energy from these batteries to move the car forward. Hence, the electrical energy requires to keep constant the functioning of hybrid vehicles, thermophotovoltaics is used. Therefore, with the growing demand for hybrid vehicles, the market is also projected to grow.
  • Rise in Space Activities The number of satellites orbiting the Earth as of January 2022 was about 8,260 satellites. Moreover, with about 179 successful rocket launches into orbit, 2022 set a record for space travel and was approximately 43 more successful than 2021. Solar PV is being used for missions that are close to the sun (in Earth orbit or closer), allowing for power levels of several kWs and mission durations of many years. However, solar thermal generators, which allow for extremely high energetically dense thermal storage, is projected to replace solar PV.
  • Surge in Number of People with No Electricity About 19 million of people all around the world lived without electricity in 2022. Therefore, a large number of off-grid is estimated to be constructed further boosting the market growth for thermophotovoltaics.

Challenges

  • High Cost of Thermophotovoltaics – The cost of various materials used in this system such as selective emitters, and photovoltaics cells is poised to carry huge price. Hence, this also makes the manufacturing process of this system costly. Therefore, this factor is anticipated to hinder thermophotovoltaics market growth.
  • Complexity in Integrating TPV System
  • Lack of Efficiency
