05.12.2012: US market research company IHS iSuppli predicts that demand for crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules will rebound in 2013 thanks to an increase in orders from emerging markets. Module prices, however, will continue to decline through at least early 2013 because these emerging markets will demand cheaper modules. IHS found that c-Si module prices fell in nearly every market worldwide in October because of weak demand in key markets, especially Germany. The average per Watt price of c-Si PV modules fell by 1.9% to 3.5% from September to October in every major market except Canada, where module prices actually grew by 5.5%. Much of this price decline was due to plunging costs among third-tier Chinese suppliers. Module prices for these suppliers dropped by nearly 5% in October.
