In the first half of 2012, the total export volume of photovoltaics declined

From January to June 2012, China's solar photovoltaic products exports fell for the first time after maintaining six consecutive years of rapid growth, total exports of 12.894 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decline of 31.49%, while China's photovoltaic export market distribution changes.

Photovoltaic exports in 2010 and 2011 respectively maintained year-on-year growth rates of 123% and 17.38%.

From the perspective of export product composition, solar panels accounted for 73%, and solar power station equipment accounted for 23%. In the first half of this year, China's total exports of solar cells and modules totaled US$9.45 billion, a decrease of 34.3% year-on-year.

Chen Huiqing, deputy director of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products, said that in the first half of this year, the volume of PV exports only slightly decreased by 0.03%, while the decline in exports, on the one hand, was due to the sharp fall in the prices of raw materials for photovoltaic products, and on the other, the European economic crisis and demand. With the shrinking effect, China's photovoltaic exports will still be severely challenged in the second half of the year.

The export of PV products in China is still dominated by the European, Asian and North American markets. However, China’s exports to the European market also fell by 37.09% year-on-year in the first half of the year, of which exports to Italy fell by 76.5% and exports to Germany dropped by 50.7%. From China's largest export of photovoltaic products to the third largest.

In addition, China’s total exports to Latin America in the first half of this year reached US$149 million, a year-on-year increase of 9.8%, which was the only foreign market in China’s PV product export regions in the first half of this year.
