BIPV market seen reaching $68.12 billion by 2030

The building-integrated photovoltaics market is projected to grow from $25.13 billion in 2025 to $68.12 billion by 2030, driven by demand for cost-efficient construction and advances in solar materials. Asia-Pacific was the largest regional market in 2025, while smart building integration and AI-based monitoring are shaping the next phase of growth. Why it matters: - Building-integrated photovoltaics turn roofs, facades and windows into power-generating building components, which can cut electricity costs and support lower-emission construction. - The market’s growth signals wider adoption of solar features in new buildings and major renovations. - Cost pressure in construction is making energy-saving materials and onsite power generation more attractive. What happened: - The building-integrated photovoltaics market is projected to rise from $25.13 billion in 2025 to $30.78 billion in 2026. - The market is forecast to reach $68.12 billion by 2030. - The projected CAGR is 22.5% from 2025 to 2026 and 22.0% through 2030. - The Business Research Company released the outlook on June 15, 2026, in London. - A free sample report is available here . - The full report is available here . The details: - BIPV systems are directly incorporated into the building envelope. - Common applications include roofs, facades and windows. - BIPV systems serve two roles: they function as part of the exterior structure and generate electricity for onsite use or grid export. - These systems can reduce material costs, lower power bills, reduce pollution and improve architectural aesthetics. - BIPV is typically installed during initial construction or during major renovations that replace building envelope components. - Growth drivers include rising adoption of solar-integrated roofs, broader use in facades and windows, expanding residential deployment and increasing use in commercial and industrial buildings. - Forecast growth is also tied to high-efficiency thin-film and monocrystalline BIPV technologies, AI-powered solar monitoring, hybrid and organic photovoltaic materials, and smart building-integrated energy management systems. - Emerging trends include integration with smart building management platforms, energy-efficient solar materials, IoT-enabled performance monitoring, multifunctional facades and AI-optimized solar energy solutions. - Asia-Pacific was the largest regional market in 2025. - The report covers Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa. - The report adds market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, and updated graphics and tables. Between the lines: - The report frames BIPV as both a construction material choice and an energy strategy, which helps explain why it is gaining traction beyond traditional solar buyers. - The strong CAGR suggests the market is still in an early expansion phase, where technology improvements and policy or incentive support can have outsized effects. - The emphasis on smart-building features points to a shift from standalone solar products toward integrated energy systems. - Supporting data cited in the release notes that the US construction industry was valued at $1.8 trillion and the global construction market at $8.9 trillion in 2023. What’s next: - Demand is likely to keep rising as builders look for lower operating costs and more integrated sustainability features. - Adoption should advance as monitoring tools, materials science and building management software improve. - Further growth will likely come from new construction and retrofits tied to envelope replacement. - The Business Research Company says it offers market intelligence through more than 30,000 reports across 27 industries and 60+ geographies, along with its Global Market Model platform.
