The global photovoltaic sector is undergoing fundamental restructuring driven by technological disruption and supply chain recalibration. This transition reflects strategic realignments across the value chain to prioritize long-term sustainability over volume expansion.
Ⅰ. Supply Chain Reconfiguration
Capacity Optimization InitiativesMajor manufacturers have implemented production discipline protocols, reducing polysilicon output by 18% YoY. This consolidation reflects industry-wide commitment to operational efficiency.
Inventory Normalization CycleModule stockpiles decreased from 51GW to 24.7GW in 2025H1, aligning with revised demand forecasts. The current 60-day channel inventory represents the healthiest level since 2022.
Logistics Network TransformationRegional manufacturing hubs in Southeast Asia and MENA now handle 43% of global module shipments (vs. 28% in 2023), enhancing supply resilience amid trade policy evolution.
Ⅱ. Technology-Driven Value Migration
(Data Source: BNEF Q2 2025 Report)
Key Implications:
Performance Premium Recognition: Tier-1 manufacturers report 22% higher ASPs for >23% efficiency modules
R&D Intensity: $6.8B invested in advanced cell tech during 2024-2025 cycle
Certification Standards: New IEC 63209 standards effective Q3'2025 require enhanced durability testing.
Ⅲ. Global Demand Diversification
Emerging Market Acceleration
MENA region projected 14GW installations in 2025 (47% YoY growth)
