Asia and Americas to push global PV demand up to 58GW in 2016, says report

Major regional markets (i.e. China, the US and Japan) and other emerging markets continue to drive demand growth of 2015's photovoltaic (PV) market. According to EnergyTrend, the five largest regional markets for the first half of 2015, as listed in order, were China, Japan, the US, the UK and Germany. India has also caught the attention of the PV sector as its demand growth is quickly catching up with the major markets. However, India is currently outside of the top five because it is behind in market development. EnergyTrend's PV installation capacity forecast for the second half of 2015 finds that growth will flatten for the UK and Germany, while China and the US will be entering their peak periods. Overall, demand will stay strong.
