According to database statistics, after taking the first place in 2020, LONGi will continue to be the leader in 2021. The total domestic and foreign module shipments far exceed the second place by more than 10GW, while the basic module shipments of TOP5 manufacturers are all in 10GW or more.

In 2021, based on the substantial increase in the concentration of components, the ranking will be adjusted based on the ranking. This time, manufacturers with a total shipment difference of 1% will be ranked in parallel. The second place is Trina and JA Solar, of which Trina’s total shipments are in the ranking. Overseas shipments account for about 65% of the market share, and high-power module shipments will reach 15GW+ in 2021; JA Solar's stable layout has more advantages in operation management in the context of soaring costs, and overseas shipments account for about 65% of the share.

After Jinko was listed in the second half of the year, its shipments quickly caught up, ranking fourth this year. The follow-up is Canadian Solar, Risen Energy, Hanwha Q-Cells, First Solar, Suntech, and Chint.

The shipment members of the TOP 10 are basically the same as in 2020, while the shipments of the manufacturers after the TOP 10 fall at the level of 3-4GW, which also shows that the differentiation between manufacturers has increased significantly.

Looking back at 2021, driven by price increases at the source of the supply chain, the cell segment will continue to be squeezed by silicon wafers and both ends of downstream modules, and the monocrystalline PERC cell production capacity is severely overcapacity, and cell manufacturers can only hold on to meager profits. In the second half of the year, vertically integrated manufacturers have continued to launch new cell production lines, and their self-sufficiency rate has continued to increase. The market share of professional cell manufacturers has gradually been divided up, and the growth rate has begun to shrink.

From the database observation, the annual growth rate of shipments of the top five professional battery factories in 2020 will reach 81%, while the annual growth rate of shipments will be reduced to 36% in 2021, which proves that under the active expansion of vertically integrated factories, the sales of professional battery cells continue to be squeezed.
