What is the global PV trade based on?

The data on global PV trade used in this paper comes from the BACI-CEPII 2 Database, covering 251 global economies from 1996 to 2019. According to the division of the PV industry, the upstream is composed of crystalline silicon raw materials and the preparation of silicon rods and silicon wafers.

Why is international trade important for PV cells?

Through the interaction of spatial patterns of PV cells international trade flow, the associations among regions have been strengthened and the development opportunities of PV industry have been expanded. This will also intensify the level of competition.

What factors affect the global PV trade?

Therefore, the industrialization rates and urbanization rates are also important factors affecting the global PV trade.

Why are global PV trade activities growing?

Meanwhile, on account of the PV industry's uneven resource distribution and inconsistent production capacity across regions, as well as the necessity to cope with turbulences in energy markets, global PV trade activities have also experienced tremendous growth in recent years (Algieri et al. 2011; Guan et al. 2016; Guan and An 2017).

Why is active participation important in PV trade?

Their active participation not only saves costs and improves efficiency in expanding the PV trade networks, but also effectively stabilizes global PV trade patterns and promotes the development of renewable energy.

What is a snapshot of global PV markets?

This 12th edition of the “Snapshot of Global PV Markets” aims at providing preliminary information on how the PV market developed in 2023. The 29th edition of the PVPS complete “Trends in Photovoltaic Applications” report will be published in Q4 2024.
