Based on application, the portable integrated photovoltaic market report is divided into emergency power backup and leisure and recreational activities. Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America.

As global awareness of climate change and environmental degradation rises, consumers prioritize products that contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future. This shift in consumer values presents a significant opportunity for businesses that can position their offerings as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional energy sources. According to The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2023, renewable energy sources account for nearly 30% of global energy consumption in the electricity sector, though challenges in the heating and transport sectors persist. The percentage of the global population having access to clean cooking fuels and technologies increased from 64% in 2015 to 71% in 2021. Consumers today are well-informed and concerned about the environmental impact of their purchases and are willing to pay a premium for products that align with their values of sustainability. Portable integrated photovoltaics allow users to generate clean, renewable energy directly from the sun, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing their carbon footprints. By using solar energy, consumers can power their devices and equipment in an environmentally responsible manner, making PIPVs an attractive option for the growing eco-conscious market.

The geographic scope of the portable integrated photovoltaic market report offers a detailed global, regional, and country analysis, which covers regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America. North America and Asia Pacific are major regions holding significant portable integrated photovoltaic market share. The North America portable integrated photovoltaic market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. According to the Outdoor Industry Association, in 2023, the number of outdoor recreation participants increased by 4.1% to a record 175.8 million, accounting for 57.3% of all Americans aged six and above. The number of participants grew across demographics and activities as new, more casual individuals started hiking, biking, camping, jogging, and fishing. In 2023, 7.7 million Americans attempted one or more outdoor recreation activities for the first time. New and youthful outdoor recreation participants are driving development and diversifying the participant base, which includes a rising number of women and seniors. Thus, the growing outdoor recreational activities are propelling the demand for portable integrated photovoltaics as they help to provide power for devices anywhere.

The demand for emergency power backup is increasing in North America. In April 2024, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), in its Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), announced that the US power consumption will increase to record highs in 2024 and 2025. EIA projected that the power demand will rise to 4,125 billion kWh in 2025. This rising demand for power is increasing the need for robust emergency power systems to ensure uninterrupted power during peak demand and unforeseen outages. Thus, the surging demand for emergency power backups is fueling the portable integrated photovoltaic market growth in North America.

These rising outdoor recreation activities and the need for emergency power backups are pushing market players to develop more advanced solutions. In July 2022, New Use Energy Solutions, an Arizona-based startup, unveiled SunTarp, a new line of portable frameless solar PV panels suitable for off-grid and residential applications. The system is designed by utilizing Merlin Solar's flexible modules, which have power outputs of 70 and 80 W. The company’s PV array is available in three versions: the TriFold SunTarp array (combines three solar modules, weighs 6.8 kg, and has a power output of 210 W); the 320 W FourFold SunTarp model (integrates four panels and weighs 10.8 kg); and the six-module HexFold SunTarp (has a power output of 410 W and weighs 20.4 kg).

In Asia Pacific, China dominated the portable integrated photovoltaic market size in 2024 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the analyzed timeframe. China has witnessed growth in the renewable energy sectors such as solar and wind. The rising living standards are increasing the demand for consumer electronics items, particularly those used in outdoor activities and at remote locations. The increasing middle-class spending, along with rising income in China, has led to an increase in leisure and recreational activities, fueling the demand for portable power devices for lighting, heating, and refrigeration. As the global leader in solar power installations, the awareness regarding solar based power generation and devices in China is high. As per the General Administration of Sport of China, the market size of the outdoor sports sector in China valued at more than US$ 400 billion in 2024. Outdoor sports participation has increased by over 30% in the last two years. Solar chargers, power banks, RV fridges, and portable power stations are used to cater to the rising need for charging electronic devices and power small appliances, driving portable integrated photovoltaic market growth.
