Description

The global Fluorine-containing Composite Backsheet market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1087 million in 2025 to US$ 1546 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2026 to 2032.

Fluorine-containing Composite Backsheets represent one of the mainstream types of solar PV backsheets. This term specifically refers to a multi-layered structure where a fluoropolymer material (such as PVDF or PVF, like DuPont's Tedlar® film) is used on the outer layer (environmental side), the inner layer (cell side), or both, compounded with other polymer layers (such as PET, Polyethylene Terephthalate). Due to their unique chemical bond structures, these fluorine-containing materials impart the backsheet with superior UV resistance, weatherability, anti-aging properties, and excellent electrical insulation. By utilizing a composite structure, this backsheet maintains high durability while employing cost-effective materials like PET to reduce overall cost, establishing it as a widely adopted, high-performance protective layer in the PV industry.

In 2025, global Fluorine-containing Composite Backsheets production reached approximately 419 million sq.m.

Fluorine-containing composite backsheets are a high-end material in photovoltaic modules, providing superior weather resistance, insulation, and long-term reliability, which are critical to module longevity and performance stability. As global PV installations expand and module power density and system voltage increase, the strategic importance of fluorine-containing backsheets in the high-end PV market has become increasingly evident. They serve as key enablers for long-term energy yield and risk reduction in solar projects.

From a technical perspective, fluorine-containing composite backsheets are typically constructed from fluoropolymers such as PVF, PVDF, or ETFE, laminated with supporting substrates to form multilayer structures. These materials integrate chemical stability, UV resistance, and high electrical insulation into a single composite. They offer high-temperature tolerance, moisture resistance, chemical durability, and mechanical strength, effectively preventing cracking, chalking, or insulation failure during long-term outdoor operation. Compared with conventional non-fluorine backsheets, fluorine-containing composites exhibit significantly lower failure rates, making them particularly attractive in scenarios where financial and insurance institutions evaluate PV assets’ long-term performance and risk.

From a market demand perspective, fluorine-containing composite backsheets are primarily deployed in high-reliability, high-power modules, including bifacial modules, large-format modules, and projects located in high-temperature or high-humidity environments. In mature PV markets such as Europe, North America, and Japan, high-end modules almost universally adopt fluorine-based backsheets to ensure system safety and stable returns. In emerging Asia-Pacific and other growth markets, rapid deployment of large-scale ground-mounted and commercial distributed projects, coupled with rising module power ratings, is driving accelerated adoption of high-performance backsheets, increasing the penetration rate of fluorine-containing composites.

In terms of competitive landscape, the industry is characterized by high technical barriers and stringent certification requirements. Leading suppliers typically establish long-term partnerships with module manufacturers and subject their products to extensive reliability testing and outdoor validation. As the global PV industry trends toward higher efficiency, longer lifetimes, and lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), fluorine-containing composite backsheets are expected to expand market share, particularly in high-end and high-reliability segments. Overall, fluorine-containing composite backsheets are evolving from a simple protective layer to a strategic, value-added material within the PV module value chain, with reliability, weather resistance, and long-term performance as the core attributes valued by both manufacturers and investors.
