The global solar PV market experienced demand declines, inventory buildups, price drops, and operating losses in 2011, and the solar PV market as a whole was pessimistic about future development. Currently, the solar PV market is undergoing some changes. With the role of the emerging solar PV markets becoming more prominent, satisfying demand from these markets is projected to prevent vendors from entering vicious price competition in the mainstream markets. This research profiles the current status of major and secondary emerging solar PV markets, providing insight into the future of these markets.
