Global Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) Market Outlook to 2029

Report Description

The non-crystalline allotropic form of silicon is amorphous silicon, and it is deposited in thin layers onto a variety of surfaces at low temperatures. It has various unique features for a variety of electronic devices. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Amorphous Silicon market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors like the increasing use of Amorphous Silicon in electronics, Amorphous silicon has emerged as the preferred material for large-area electronics, with applications in displays, image sensing, and solar power conversion, are expected to drive the global market. Further, in the automobile industry, Amorphous Silicon is used in mechanical and electrical parts of cars. Small LEDs and batteries in thin film-based solar cells are projected to drive the global market. Furthermore, Amorphous Silicon is used in solar cells to establish an internal electric field and has high absorption capacity driving the global market. However, contact with amorphous silicon vapors might irritate the eyes. Exposure to fumes regularly harms the eyes. A flu-like condition with headache, fever, chills, pains, chest tightness and cough can result in high exposure to fumes. Amorphous Silica vapors can cause lung injury if inhaled repeatedly is expected to hinder the global market growth.

Solar cells and thin-film transistors in LCDs are made of amorphous silicon (a-Si), a non-crystalline type of silicon. It is deposited in thin films onto various flexible substrates, such as glass, metal, and plastic. It is used as a semiconductor material for amorphous silicon solar cells or thin-film silicon solar cells. It is used in batteries to run the two gear motors by the remote control system, and it is also used in Military & space equipment.

The Electronic Industry is the primary and vital consumer of Amorphous Silicon and is estimated to drive global demand. The devices, arrays, and applications are made possible by amorphous silicon, and the material's unique features influence the design and performance of various electronic applications. It retains silicon's material properties and is patterned into complex electronic devices using the photolithographic techniques that have proven beneficial in crystalline silicon electronics, driving the Global Amorphous Silicon market. Computers (+34%) and TV sets (+12%) have increased far faster than cellphones (+1%) in the last three years globally, owing to COVID-19 limits and increasing time spent working and learning from home. Smartphones, computers, and television sets are expected to grow at 3–4% per year in 2022. In 2021, the global installed base of smartphones will be over 4.3 billion, compared to 1.4 billion computers and half a billion tablets. By replacing film with flat-plate amorphous silicon arrays, digital X-ray image sensors are poised to transform medical diagnosis. It is utilized in high-performance laptop computers' active-matrix liquid crystal displays, driving the global market. Thus, the above factors have made the Electronic Industry a vital growth segment for the Global market of Amorphous Silicon. 

The Asia Pacific is expected to be the leader in producing and consuming Amorphous Silicon, with most consumption in countries like China and India. Amorphous Silicon demand is increasing in electronics due to increasing urbanization. The technology is advanced, as the amorphous silicon is a thin-film semiconductor that can be placed on vast, low-cost substrates, thus driving the global Amorphous Silicon market. In the automobile industry, instead of crystalline silicon, an amorphous silicon-based thin-film solar panel is utilized to convert more solar energy into valuable electrical energy, which is then used to recharge the batteries, driving the global Amorphous Silicon market. Solar cells are the most advanced application of amorphous silicon, and there have been numerous advancements to improve cell efficiency, driving the global market. In Pesticides, synthetic amorphous silicon damages insect cuticles and the role of silicon in plant defense against biotic stress, particularly in agriculture against arthropod pests and beneficial in insect attraction, driving the global Amorphous Silicon market. The mentioned factors have made the Asia Pacific an important region for growth in the Amorphous Silicon Market.

Some of the market's key players are First Solar, Inc.American ElementsMasdarAscent Solar Technologies, Inc.Kaneka Solar Energy, among others.

In February 2022, Khalifa University Masdar and Azelio have announced the launch of a new electrical, thermal energy storage system when solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are combined with the Azelio storage system, sustainable and cost-effective electricity which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Azelio's energy storage TES and POD stores energy as heat in a metal alloy made from recycled aluminum and silicon.
