Abstract:
Solar cell manufacturing equipment is expected to grow 41 percent in 2011 from a year earlier to $15.2 billion, according to U.S. Solarbuzz.
However, the company also forecast a sharp decline in equipment investment from the fourth quarter of 2011.
The market for solar cell manufacturing equipment reached a record high of $3.7 billion in the first quarter of 2011.
Although the market will continue to expand in the second quarter of 2011, the market will begin to shrink after that peak.
The collapse in equipment investment is due to cuts in subsidies in Europe.
The solar cell market is expected to grow 12 percent in 2011 from a year earlier.
As a result, in the second half of 2011, solar cell makers will begin to review capacity expansion plans.
Since it takes three to six months to order from manufacturing equipment to supply, it will not really affect manufacturing equipment until 2012.
After 2012, solar cell manufacturing equipment manufacturers will start equipment investment to improve the efficiency of solar cells.
In the first quarter of 2012, the production capacity of high-efficiency manufacturing equipment will account for 35 percent of the total production of crystalline silicon solar cells.
