Polysilicon is the most important raw material in the production of solar cells and related products. Nearly, 90% of the demand for polysilicon comes from the production of photovoltaic solar cells. One of the major reasons for a steady growth in this market over the last couple of years has been the government policies and schemes put in place which has helped in curbing the problem of oversupply in the Japan Polysilicon Market.
The Japan Polysilicon market has been growing at a negative CAGR of 4.6% from 2008 to 2013 in terms of revenue. The revenue generated by the polysilicon market in Japan has decreased from USD ~ million in 2008 to USD ~ million in 2013. The major reason responsible for a negative growth rate especially during 2010-2013 has been the problem of oversupply posing a challenge to the polysilicon manufacturers in the market. On the other hand the demand and production volume of polysilicon also picked up pace in the last few years. This was majorly on account of the manufacturers expanding their production capacity in order to cater to the growing demand.
The polysilicon market in Japan has been growing at a steady rate in the past few years on account of effective government schemes and policies being employed. Feed in Tariff and a cap on the production of polysilicon by the manufacturers have been the most important policies, which have
