Market DynamicsDriverRising 5G communication advancements
Due to its ultra-low latency, high reliability, deep coverage, extreme capacity, and ultra-low power consumption, 5G communication technology is becoming more and more popular in a variety of fields as power systems evolve quickly and smart grid construction expands. It has emerged as a crucial technology for fostering scientific and technological advancements and quickening the development of sustainable energy systems, the network's core system, micro base stations, and the industry will experience growth as a result of the expanding use of 5G technologies and communication networks.
RestraintProcess of complex design and integration
The power electronics industry's companies are concentrating on combining various functionality onto a single chip, which leads to a complicated design and the designing and integration of complicated devices requires specialised knowledge, a solid methodology, and a specific toolkit, all of which raise the price of the devices as a whole. As a result, it is anticipated that the transfer to more modern technical equipment will be hindered by the high cost of the products.
OpportunityWidespread use of renewable energy sources
Currently, a number of nations are switching from the use of fossil fuels like coal and gas to generate power to renewable energy sources. As a result, new installations of renewable energy sources have been growing steadily while non-renewable energy sources have been declining at the same time. Power electronics are crucial in the transition of electrical energy patterns to more energy-efficient renewable energy sources. As wind and solar energy systems are the most potential renewable energy sources for generating electricity, power electronics-based power converters are also frequently used in these renewable energy systems. These systems can incorporate several power sources creating wide range of opportunities for the growth of the market.
ThreatA constantly shifting need for small, highly effective, and affordable devices
Significant opportunities are created by the rising need for portable and compact gadgets, but producers must constantly adapt to consumers' shifting demands for smaller devices. Miniaturisation of systems and components is required to meet the need for small, portable, and multifunctional products while also reducing production costs. Manufacturers are actively investing in research and development (R&D) to create products and improve their product offerings in order to maintain market competitiveness. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the life cycle of created technologies or goods, the ongoing desire for smaller devices may therefore function as a barrier because it does not justify the return on investments.
Covid-19 ImpactDue to a severe lack of raw materials needed to produce semiconductors, the COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating effect on the global market. The regular operations of the chip manufacturing industry suffered as a result. The development of microwave devices was further impeded by a chip scarcity, which further slowed down the uptake of power electronics.
The gallium nitride (GaN) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The gallium nitride (GaN) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the industrial, transportation, energy and power, and ICT verticals are the main consumers of GaN-based semiconductor devices. These materials are now being used by makers of power electronics devices to create a variety of power discrete devices, including MOSFETs, diodes, rectifiers, and other FETs. GaN-based semiconductor and electronic devices have recently begun to be developed by makers of semiconductor products, devices, and systems. GaN is seen as a substitute for the sapphire- and silicon-based materials SiC used in power electronics.
The low voltage segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The low voltage segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to they are being used in application areas like consumer electronics and automotive, are made possible by low power consumption, energy harvesting, and wireless connection. Since wireless gadgets often run on batteries, they must deal with more compact energy storage systems. Low voltage power electronics have also emerged as a result of improvements in energy harvesting methods in electronics and historically been utilised in the automotive industry to create standardised power, thermal, and control interfaces with the aid of converters.
Region with highest share
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the biggest producer of a range of consumer electronics, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearable technology, and other connecting gadgets. The nation is also rapidly embracing electric vehicles, and it is anticipated that it will continue to be the world's largest EV market for the duration of the prediction. As a result, numerous multinational automakers have established production and assembly facilities in China, which is anticipated to increase demand for power electronics among local suppliers.
Region with highest CAGRSouth America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the expansion of the energy and automotive industries in Brazil and Argentina. The Brazilian government claims, the country's ability to produce renewable energy was 84%, above the global average of 38% thanks to significant investments in this area. Such advancements will aid in the expansion of the local market.
