Abstract
Summary
This report is an updated version of our July release on thin-film
photovoltaic modules markets and takes account of tumultuous changes that have
recently occurred in the world economy. The report includes completely revised
market forecasts along with a detailed outlook for the business opportunities
and threats that NanoMarkets expects for TFPV in 2009. Among the issues that
we consider in this report are the impacts of low energy prices on the
business case for TFPV, whether environmental arguments for TFPV will lose
their hold in a recessionary environment, and the impact of the worldwide
construction downturn on the prospects for TFPV.
Also in the report in addition to the quantitative forecasts are assessment of
both high-growth and low-growth scenarios for the next eight years and updated
profiles of the leading suppliers of TFPV solar panels. We also discuss when
the recovery will begin and what the next phase of TFPV market evolution will
look like.
