Solar module is tracked under HS code 854140. Across the markets we cover, 12 countries report imports of this product, totalling about $41.61B a year. Below is where that demand sits, how much of it comes from China, and who currently supplies it.
Sorted by import value. The China share column tells you how established Chinese supply already is — a high share means a proven supply chain and tougher negotiation; a low share can mean an open door or a market that buys elsewhere for a reason. Both are worth knowing before you commit.
