Global Waste Photovoltaic Module Recycling Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031

The global Waste Photovoltaic Module Recycling market size is predicted to grow from US$ 115 million in 2025 to US$ 135 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2025 to 2031.

Recycling photovoltaic panels can reuse useful resources, such as aluminum, copper, silicon, etc. These resources can be recycled and regenerated, saving the cost of mining and production of new resources.

Since the introduction of grid-connected benchmark electricity prices in 2014, domestic photovoltaic power generation installed capacity has grown rapidly and continues to maintain an average annual growth rate of more than 100%. At present, the domestic cumulative installed photovoltaic power generation capacity has exceeded 200GW. It is expected that in 2022, China"s cumulative installed photovoltaic power generation capacity will exceed 100%. will exceed 300GW. With the rapid development of photovoltaic power generation, the problem of recycling and reuse of waste photovoltaic modules has also arisen. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the accumulated photovoltaic module waste worldwide will reach millions of tons by 2030; and by 2050, it will reach tens of millions of tons. According to the prediction of the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, starting from 2020, the amount of domestic waste photovoltaic modules will also increase significantly. By 2030, domestic waste photovoltaic modules can produce 1.45 million tons of carbon steel, 1.1 million tons of glass, and 540,000 tons of plastics. , 260,000 tons of aluminum, 170,000 tons of copper, 50,000 tons of silicon and 550 tons of silver.
