The most prominent rate of growth was recorded in 2016 when exports increased by 200% against the previous year. Over the period under review, exports posted a significant expansion. In value terms, solar cells and light-emitting diodes exports stood at $X in 2021. As a result, the exports attained the peak and are likely to continue growth in the immediate term. Overall, exports recorded a significant increase. In 2021, shipments abroad of solar cells and light-emitting diodes increased by 3,639% to X tons, rising for the sixth consecutive year after three years of decline. Exports of Solar Cells and Light-Emitting Diodes Exports from Thailand Over the period under review, production reached the peak level in 2020 and is expected to retain growth in the immediate term. The pace of growth appeared the most rapid in 2017 with an increase of 75%. In general, production showed a significant increase. In value terms, solar cells and light-emitting diodes production skyrocketed to $X in 2020 estimated in export price. Production of Solar Cells and Light-Emitting Diodes in Thailand As a result, consumption reached the peak level and is likely to continue growth in the immediate term. ![]() Based on 2020 figures, consumption increased by +65.8% against 2015 indices. The trend pattern, however, indicated some noticeable fluctuations being recorded throughout the analyzed period. Overall, the total consumption indicated prominent growth from 2012 to 2020: its value increased at an average annual rate of +5.6% over the last eight-year period. The Thai market for solar cells and light-emitting diodes surged to $X in 2020, increasing by 23% against the previous year. The (DGTR) in this investigation intends to determine the degree and impact of the dumping on the domestic industry and accordingly recommend a percentage of anti-dumping duty on these importers.Thailand: Market for Solar Cells and Light-Emitting Diodes 2022 Market Size for Solar Cells and Light-Emitting Diodes in Thailand The new rule is also applicable for projects involving the sale of electricity to the government. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has now made it mandatory for module manufacturers to register under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) to be eligible for government projects. This has to lead to the unutilized capacity of the domestic manufacturers when selling under the CPSU program. The domestic manufacturers who sell under the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) program have very little sales volume in the open market where they compete with the imports. They also state the dumping of solar cell imports has lead to price undercutting, price suppression, and price depression effect on the domestic industry. The DGTR notification says the probe will cover the period starting from July 2019 to December 2020. ![]() And there is no significant difference between the items being imported and the ones produced by domestic companies locally. The whole issue of dumping of solar cell imports from China, Vietnam, and Thailand has aroused because ISMA has alleged that the disposing of solar cells from these destinations is causing material injury to the domestic market. The inquiry is based on the petition filed by the Indian Solar Manufacturers Association (ISMA). The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has initiated an anti-dumping probe on imports of solar cells from China, Vietnam, and Thailand.
