The power electronics market was valued at $41.8 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach $71.7 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.8% from 2024 to 2033.
Power electronics deals with the conversion and control of electric power using electric converters based on the switch of semiconductors. The power converter has four major categories such as DC/DC converters, AC/DC converters, DC/AC converters, and AC/AC converters. Each converter is composed of fundamental electronic components, including resistors, capacitors, and inductors, as well as semiconductor devices such as diodes, thyristors, and transistors. Power electronics are crucial in electrified vehicle applications, offering compact and efficient solutions for power conversion. These devices manage the transfer of power from a source to a load in a robust, efficient, and compact manner, facilitating optimal utilization. By employing components such as diodes, transistors, and thyristors, power electronics control the conversion of electric power between different forms. They excel in high-voltage and highcurrent operations due to their rapid switching capabilities and high efficiency. Additionally, power electronics can manage both unidirectional and bidirectional energy flows, allowing regenerated energy to be returned to the grid. These devices are anticipated to be key technologies for enhancing system efficiency and performance in automotive and energy-saving applications. Power modules, or power electronic modules, integrate multiple power components, such as power semiconductors, into a single package, offering higher power density and reliability compared to discrete components.
Power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) play a critical role as electronic switches, controlling loads with very low resistance and high-frequency switching. These attributes are leveraged in high-efficiency power supplies, electric and hybrid vehicles, photovoltaic inverters, RF switching, and IT equipment power supplies. Advancements in automotive electronics are a key driver for the power electronics market. Modern vehicles increasingly depend on sophisticated electronic systems for enhanced performance, safety, and efficiency, creating a rising demand for advanced power electronics components. Innovations such as electric powertrains, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and state-of-the-art infotainment require high-performance power converters, inverters, and battery management systems. These technological improvements not only boost vehicle functionality but also escalate the need for reliable and efficient power electronics solutions. As automotive technology evolves, the need for cutting-edge power electronics components accelerates, thus driving market growth and fostering technological advancements in the sector. Moreover, surge in demand for SiC-based photovoltaic cells in the developing countries, including China, Brazil, and India fuels the growth of the global market.
However, one of the major restraints is the complex integration process for advanced electronics devices. Designing complex devices requires robust methodology, skillsets, and different toolsets for integration, which also raises the cost of the devices. This high cost of devices restrains users from switching to new innovative technologies devices. On the contrary, rise in demand for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and innovation in power metal–oxide– semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the power electronics market during the forecast period.
