The commercial perception of fusion energy has changed significantly since the beginning of this decade. Fusion, once relegated to science fiction and laboratory experiments, is now being taken seriously as a safe, dense, and continuous source of electricity for the transition to green energy.
By 2025, business merger companies have raised over $9 billion in investments, while governments are beginning to view mergers as the "space race" of the modern age.

Thin-film photovoltaics (PV) currently represents a small portion of the overall solar market, but it offers significant opportunities for applying solar energy in new and emerging applications. Many types of this technology offer design simplicity, ease of manufacturing, and cost competitiveness compared to silicon, making it well-suited for large-scale production. Despite these advantages, thin-film PV has struggled to gain the same market share as silicon-based solar panels. Key questions remain: why has thin-film PV lagged behind, and what factors could help it become more competitive in the solar industry?

The IDTechEx report, “Thin Film PV Market 2025-2035: Technologies, Players, and Trends,” offers an in-depth analysis of the entire thin film PV sector, examining the technologies, applications, and market players driving its adoption. The report comprehensively covers all technologies within the thin film PV market, including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), perovskite PVs, cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), gallium arsenide (GaAs), amorphous silicon (a-Si), and copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS).
IDTechEx forecasts that the thin-film photovoltaics market will exceed US$11 billion by 2035, with growth largely driven by the rise of a new thin-film solar technology.
CdTe photovoltaics continues to dominate the thin-film solar energy market
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaics remain the dominant thin-film solar technology and are the second most widely used solar technology after silicon. This technology has been researched since the 1950s, and the first modules were commercialized in the early 2000s. CdTe photovoltaic modules offer the same lifespan as silicon modules (approximately 25 years) and, despite their smaller production scale, are very cost-competitive. Furthermore, thanks to a simple, relatively low-temperature, and automated manufacturing process, CdTe solar modules have an energy payback period of less than one year.
Unlike silicon photovoltaics, which is heavily reliant on China's supply chain, CdTe photovoltaic production is concentrated primarily in the United States, where it has benefited significantly from policy incentives. First Solar, the largest CdTe manufacturer, accounts for over 90% of global CdTe photovoltaic production, with the United States being the largest market for this technology, representing more than 30% of its industrial-scale solar capacity.
