02 Jul 2024 by evwind. In 2023, China achieved record photovoltaic export volume growth across all subcomponents, driving manufacturing expansion in emerging markets.

Does China's solar industry have a global reach?

In 2023, China achieved record photovoltaic export volume growth across all subcomponents, driving manufacturing expansion in emerging markets. Following Wood Mackenzie’s recent presentation at the SNEC Solar PV Conference & Exhibition in Shanghai in June, we share our insights on the global reach of China’s solar and storage industry.

Why are China's energy storage products so important?

Our insights reveal that Chinese manufacturers are likely to maintain their export advantage on energy storage products due to their high productivity and low costs. Elsewhere, factories outside of China still face various long construction cycles, slow production capacity ramp up, and unverified product quality.

Are China's PV exports affected by trade protectionism?

"However, with ongoing geopolitical conflicts and trade uncertainties, Chinese exports of PV products have been challenged by trade protectionism such as tariffs, and measures to protect local PV facility manufacturers," she said.

How did China's Solar Exports perform in 2023?

China’s 2023 solar exports hit a record high with over 40% growth for all equipment. The surge was dominated by modules that reached a new high of 227 GW. Meanwhile, cells had the most rapid growth at 61.6% to 38 GW. The country consolidated its control over module supply chain manufacturing, with its share exceeding 80%.

Will PV plants replace China in 2023?

In 2023, there may be more newly increased production capacity in India, the United States, Southeast Asia, Turkiye and other markets.However, over the short term, they still cannot replace China's leading position in global PV facility manufacturing, Jiang added.
