Driven by the booming development of the photovoltaic industry, the market demand for texturing additives continues to rise
Texturing additive refers to a chemical additive added during the texturing process of monocrystalline silicon solar cells that is beneficial to the reaction results and product performance. Texturing is an important process in the production of silicon solar cells. It refers to using the anisotropic corrosion characteristics of silicon to carve a pyramid-like or honeycomb-like structure on the surface, thereby increasing the surface area of the cell, reducing light reflectivity, and improving silicon The purpose of light absorption performance of the film. The texturing additive contains surfactants, which can greatly improve the wettability of the texturing liquid and the silicon wafer surface, thereby improving the stability of the texturing process.
Currently, driven by the vigorous development of the domestic photovoltaic industry, some domestic companies have mastered the production process of monocrystalline solar cells, and the output of monocrystalline cells has been steadily increased. Texturing additives are one of the key chemical additives in the production of monocrystalline cells, and their market demand is rising rapidly. In 2022, my country’s monocrystalline cell production has exceeded 190GW. Against this background, according to the “2023-2028 Production Plan” released by the Industrial Research Center The “In-depth Market Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report on the Textile Additive Industry” shows that my country’s texturing additive market demand will exceed 17 million liters in 2022.
At the same time, TOPcon batteries and HJT batteries, which are the next generation of mainstream battery technologies, still have texturing links. In the future, under the background of the continued high prosperity of the domestic photovoltaic industry, the market demand for texturing additives is expected to maintain a sustained growth trend. It is expected that by 2025, its domestic Market demand will be close to 32 million liters. In addition, texturing additives can reduce the production cost of solar cells and improve their photovoltaic efficiency by virtue of their good properties. This is in line with the current rising trend of photovoltaic cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and the industry has broad development prospects.
The main texturing additive manufacturers in my country include Changzhou Nafeng New Materials, Hangzhou Xiaochen Technology, Beijing Hedefeng Materials, Hangzhou Feilu New Energy, Shaoxing Topang New Energy, Hebei Hengri New Materials, Jiaxing Shanneng Photovoltaic Materials, Zhejiang Jingshengmei Nano, Huzhou Sanfeng Energy Technology, etc. have a large number of companies and low industry concentration.
Among them, Topband New Energy is a leading company in the domestic texturing additive industry. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, production and sales of wet additives for photovoltaics. Currently, the company has developed a series of competitive texturing additives and is in the process of developing them. The layout is suitable for new products of next-generation N-type batteries. In the future, as the research and development process of leading local companies continues to accelerate, my country’s leading companies in texturing additives will continue to emerge.
Industry analysts said that texturing additives are important chemical additives required for the production of photovoltaic cells. Currently, the domestic photovoltaic industry continues to be at a high level. Against the backdrop of a booming economy, its market demand continues to increase. At the same time, texturing additives are also suitable for the texturing process of next-generation N-type batteries and are in line with the current rising trend of photovoltaic cost reduction and efficiency improvement. The industry shows good development prospects. However, the concentration of the domestic texturing additive industry is still relatively low, and leading local companies will still need to continuously improve their competitiveness in the future.
