The Global Ingot and Wafer market has witnessed significant changes during the last few years due to worldwide financial turmoil and pricing decreases of solar modules. As a result, many manufactures have reduced their production, while a few manufactures have managed to sustain their status. Despite of these adverse circumstances, the future market outlook, on the contrary, appears to be progressive because of advancements in innovative solar technologies, increases in government funding and favourable policies, intensives and overall competitive advantages compared to other energy sources. Considering this plethora of market trends and political and economic factors, who has been able to survive? Who are the frontrunners and who had been pushed out of the competition?

To help unravel the answers to these questions, ENF is ready to offer its 1st edition of Global Ingot and Wafer Manufactures Report, which provides detailed insight into the market.

The total data collection process has taken 6 man-months, concluding February 2012. Since then, we have been rigorously conducting quality checks to ensure our status as the most accurate and trustworthy source of PV information on the market.
