Satellite Solar Cell Materials Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity And Forecast

Demand from driving factors like space exploration plays a pivotal role in fueling the satellite solar cells market. The demand for sophisticated technologies, such as satellite solar cells, arises from the necessity for efficient power generation in space missions.

Satellites rely on solar cells for their power supply. As satellites operate in the hostile space environment, the material of their solar cells must be strong, light weight and resistant to space radiation. Today, we bring to you our latest insights on the rapidly growing Satellite Solar Cell Materials Market.

Quick Overview of Satellite Solar Cells

Solar cells on satellites supply power for two main purposes. They power the satellite’s sensors, cooling, active heating and telemetry. Also, they offer energy from the propulsion of electrically-powered spacecrafts. Gallium arsenide (GaAs) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) are the two most common material types for satellite solar cells.

Market Analysis

The satellite solar cell materials market is projected to reach USD 96 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 13.7% from USD 44 million in 2024. Demand from driving factors like space exploration plays a pivotal role in fueling the satellite solar cells market. The demand for sophisticated technologies, such as satellite solar cells, arises from the necessity for efficient power generation in space missions.
