Apart from China and India which are targeted as the upcoming market in the region, the rest of the countries in the region are in a different phase of growth with regards to the development of the solar photovoltaic market. For instance Taiwan is one of the countries which is in the forefront of the production of PV products and has increased the number of installations, whereas in Japan, the solar photovoltaic market is in the declining stage.
During the period from 2006-2010, the annual installations have increased at a CAGR of 57.3%.The installations over the years have increased from 333 MW in 2006 to 967 MW in 2009.

About 41.9% of the production of solar cells and modules were utilized domestically for residential, commercial and consumer purposes.
Rural electrification was the largest application of PV systems in China. Almost 50% of solar PV installations are utilized for electrifying the rural areas. With more emphasis by government on the BIPV segment, its share of 17.5% in 2010 is likely to increase in the coming years. Communication and Industrial Applications, Small solar PV appliances and ground based large scale PV power plants are other segments where PV installed capacity are utilized.
Taiwan is only behind China in terms of production of silicon PV cells worldwide. The two together held a market share of nearly 60%.
