Power electronics is an application of a solid-state circuit device that transforms electrical power from one form to another using diodes, transistors, and thyristors for effective and efficient control. Power electronics regulate the unidirectional and bidirectional flow of energy which is dependent on usage and regenerated energy is sent back for utility. Power electronics manufacturers are concentrating on producing devices that can function at high power densities. The benefits provided by these devices include simplified circuits, less drive power, and optimal reverse and forward blocking capabilities, thereby improving efficiency in application areas. Automotive and transportation, industrial, renewable energy, consumer electronics, defense, and aerospace extensively use power electronics devices.
The COVID-19 outbreak has hurt the power electronics market owing to disruption in the supply chain and disruption in international trade. This has resulted in a shortage of semiconductors' raw materials and components in the initial phases of the coronavirus pandemic. However, the outbreak has driven the advancement and innovations in ADAS, self-driving cars, and the electric vehicles market and has boosted the demand for power electronics devices.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Device Type
The global power electronics market is divided by the device types into power discrete, power modules, and power IC segments. The power discrete segment is further divided into diode, transistors, and thyristor, the power modules segment into intelligent power modules and power integrated modules, and the power IC segment into power management integrated circuit (PMIC) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Out of all these segments and subsections, the power discrete segment is expected to contribute a larger share to the market during the forecast period due to the growing adoption of diodes, transistors, and thyristors and lower energy consumption by specific devices like BJTs, IGBTs, and MOSFETs, and others. Moreover, higher applicability in the industrial sector, low noise emission, and growing adoption of electrical power grids, industrial motor drives, power inverters, and converters bolsters the growth of this segment. On the other hand, the power IC segment will also grow during the forecast period due to increasing application in wireless and satellite communication, electronic warfare, and radio frequency.
Insight by Material
The global power electronics market is also divided by different materials into silicon, silicon carbide, sapphire, gallium nitride, and other segments. Out of these segments, the silicon power electronics segment will contribute a larger share of the market due to low power consumption and higher appropriateness in applications without needing a wide bandgap. Also, the widespread availability of silicon facilitates manufacturing on a large scale, further helping the segment to grow.
Insight by Voltage
According to the voltage, the global power electronics market is divided into low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage segments. Out of these three segments, the high voltage segment will contribute a larger share of the market due to greater efficiency in executing operations at high current or voltage and faster switching rate.
Insight by Industry Vertical
Different industry verticals also divide the global power electronics market into consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, transportation, ICT, aerospace & defense, energy & power, and other segments. Out of these segments, the consumer electronics segment is expected to surpass others in terms of growth during the forecast period due to growing adoption in emerging economies of specific consumer electronics devices like smartphones, tablets, and smart wearables and higher usage in home appliances. The automotive sector is also expected to grow due to the notable impact on this industry during the forecast period due to the temporary shutdown of factories, supply chain disruption, and lower buyer confidence, all of which result in higher demand for energy-efficient hybrid EVs due to strict government policies.
