Global Solar Demand Monitor: Q2 2017
In 2017, global solar demand will exceed 80 GW for the first time. Demand growth of 6%-8% per year is expected through 2019, as recently tendered projects reach completion and new markets take off. Yet again, China will be the key driver, and we retain our Q1 2017 assumption that Chinese demand in 2017 will account for 39% of the global market. This quarter, we’ve taken a deeper dive into each of the main Chinese policy demand drivers as well as global project risks including currency risk and trade protectionism that could threaten growth in every region.
The Global Solar Demand Monitor is a quarterly report that provides insight into major developments for the global solar landscape, offering an assessment of the trajectory and key trends in the global market and providing scenario-based demand forecasts, insights on project pipelines, financing conditions, and supply-chain dynamics at the regional and country level.
