Government policies in China have shaped the global supply, demand and price of solar PV over the last decade. Chinese industrial policies focusing on solar PV as a strategic sector and on growing domestic demand have enabled economies of scale and supported continuous innovation throughout the supply chain.
Lower-cost energy and labor support the cost-competitiveness of Chinese solar PV 9. Besides supplying most of the world's demand for solar PV, China's support for solar PV has also helped drive down costs quickly, saving the global economy at least USD 67 billion between 2008 and 2020 7.
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
In that last year, the global solar PV chain reached an industrial business value of some 104.7 billion U.S. dollars, with China dominating the market, and followed by the United States and Malaysia.
