Though still in its early stages, flexible perovskite commercialization has already seen applications across multiple scenarios. In IoT and 3C electronics, its superior low-light energy harvesting enables indoor lighting to power electronic shelf labels and smart locks. Its lightweight and flexibility make it ideal for portable solar umbrellas, charging packs, and other outdoor gear. Moreover, its flexible nature allows seamless integration with curved vehicle surfaces, offering auxiliary power solutions that are becoming a key focus for automotive R&D.

Addressing the key challenges to large-scale commercialization, Polyrocks Chemical offered a counterintuitive perspective: "Many cite lifetime or efficiency constraints, but for consumer electronics and wearables—with lifespans of 1–5 years—current technology is sufficient. The real obstacle is cost."

In the total cost structure of flexible modules, conductive films and barrier films account for up to 70%. High-performance moisture and oxygen barrier films, in particular, are still predominantly supplied by 3M and Japanese/Korean manufacturers, commanding premium prices. "Without a significant drop in the cost of these films, large-scale adoption of flexible perovskite will remain difficult," the company stated. Polyrocks called for collaborative efforts across the domestic supply chain to accelerate localized production and achieve barrier performance at the 10⁻⁵ level—key to making the technology accessible at scale.

The future market potential for flexible perovskite is vast. In high-end agriculture, by adjusting light transmittance and spectra, both power generation and crop cultivation can be achieved, creating a potential market worth hundreds of billions of RMB. In space photovoltaics, the technology offers high power-to-mass ratio, low weight, and excellent radiation resistance—posing a strong challenge to traditional gallium arsenide cells if extreme-environment technical hurdles can be overcome.
