SEMIChina predicts that the global PV market will have an oversupply rate of 20% in 2013. The world's largest supply chain China will continue to conduct industry mergers and acquisitions in 2013.

SEMIChina said: In 2013, the growth rate of global PV module production capacity will drop by 13%, and the shipment of PV module components will increase from 39GW to 43GW, which is an increase of 10.25% over last year. This means that supply will exceed 20% of demand. Therefore, the average price of PV modules will continue to decline in 2013.
