According to a new report from Intel Market Research, the global EVA-based Solar Encapsulants market was valued at USD 3,784 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 11,460 million by 2031, growing at an impressive CAGR of 17.6% during the forecast period (2024–2031). This rapid expansion is driven by the exponential growth in solar energy adoption worldwide and the critical role EVA films play in photovoltaic module manufacturing.

What are EVA-based Solar Encapsulants?

Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulants are polymer-based sheets that serve as protective layers in solar panels, bonding components while shielding solar cells from environmental damage. As the solar industry's backbone material, EVA films provide:

• Superior adhesion between glass, solar cells, and backsheets
• Optical clarity for maximum light transmission
• Moisture resistance to prevent corrosion
• Durability against UV radiation and temperature fluctuations

These thermoplastic films dominate solar module encapsulation, accounting for over 80% of the market share due to their optimal balance of performance and cost-effectiveness.

Key Market Drivers

1. Global Solar Energy Boom

The solar photovoltaic sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, with installations expected to exceed 350 GW annually by 2025. This explosive demand directly translates to higher consumption of EVA encapsulants, as every solar panel requires several square meters of protective film.

2. Technological Advancements in EVA Formulations

Manufacturers are developing next-generation EVA films with enhanced properties:

• Higher UV resistance for longer module lifespans
• Improved cross-linking efficiency for faster production
• Anti-PID (Potential Induced Degradation) formulations
• Halogen-free compositions meeting environmental regulations

3. Government Policies and Renewable Energy Targets

Global initiatives like:

• The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act
• EU's REPowerEU plan
• China's 14th Five-Year Renewable Energy Plan

are accelerating solar adoption, creating sustained demand for high-performance encapsulation materials.

Market Challenges

While the outlook remains positive, several factors could temper growth:

• Price volatility of raw materials like ethylene and vinyl acetate
• Emerging competition from alternative encapsulants (POE, ionomers)
• Trade barriers and supply chain complexities in the solar sector
• Recycling challenges for end-of-life solar panels
