Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Photovoltaic Equipment Recycling market size was valued at US$ 321 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 520 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 7.2% during review period.
Photovoltaic equipment recycling refers to the process of collecting, dismantling, processing, and reusing photovoltaic equipment that has reached the end of its service life, is scrapped, or is damaged, such as solar panels, inverters, support systems, and cables. Its purpose is to reduce environmental pollution, prevent waste containing silicon, heavy metals, and plastics from harming soil and water sources, and simultaneously recover valuable materials such as silicon wafers, silver, copper, aluminum, and glass, achieving resource recycling. Through photovoltaic equipment recycling, not only is a green circular economy promoted in the photovoltaic industry, reducing production costs and resource consumption, but sustainable development is also supported, achieving the dual value of environmental protection and economic benefits.
Photovoltaic equipment recycling refers to the entire process of dismantling, classifying, processing, and reusing scrapped or decommissioned photovoltaic modules and related equipment. Its upstream mainly includes photovoltaic raw material suppliers and module manufacturers, providing raw materials such as silicon, glass, and metals, as well as photovoltaic products. Downstream encompasses recycling companies, recycled material suppliers, and secondary utilization or environmental disposal processes, reusing recycled silicon wafers, metals, glass, and other materials for production or other industrial uses, achieving resource recycling and environmental protection. This industrial chain not only helps reduce production costs but also aligns with the requirements of sustainable development.
The rapid development of the global photovoltaic (PV) equipment recycling market is primarily driven by factors such as the increasing volume of retired PV modules, the rising value of recycled materials, strengthened policies and regulations, the promotion of green circular economy concepts, and advancements in recycling technology. However, the market also faces certain risks, including higher recycling costs than landfill or simple disposal, inadequate recycling systems and infrastructure, complex module designs that are difficult to disassemble, outdated or inconsistent regulations, and fluctuations in recycled material prices impacting profitability. Overall, PV equipment recycling is in a phase of rapid growth and standardization, but economic viability and policy support remain key factors for the market's continued expansion.
