Metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is an enhancement in metal-oxide technology and widely used as a rectifier or switch in power electronics. An insulated-gate bipolar transistor is introduced to utilize the best of bipolar transistor and MOSFET. IGBTs are used in nearly all segments of the electronics industry, from consumer to industrial, because of their high-power output, compact size, and enhanced reliability in end applications.
Market Statistics:
The global IGBT and super junction MOSFET market is expected to surpass USD 41.69 Bn by 2032.
Market Driver
Decrease in heat dissipation is expected to propel the global IGBT and super junction MOSFET market growth over the forecast period. Super junction MOSFET is highly compact and thus, it offers higher energy efficiency and low heat dissipation. Technological advancements in the fabrication and packaging process have led to improvements in MOSFETs, which in turn, has led to a decrease in heat dissipation. To reduce the power losses in IT equipment, the power converters need to be made more power-efficient. As a result, there has been an increase in the demand for low-loss power IGBTs and super junction MOSFETs.
Market Opportunity
Major growth opportunities in EV/HEV in the global IGBT and super junction MOSFET market. Electric cars gaining significant traction in the market recently. Increasing fuel efficiency and emission norms mandated by governments across the globe are leading to increasing demand for electric vehicles. Electronic control and smart power management are needed to reduce emissions from vehicles. This creates a demand for fast switching power devices including IGBTs and super junction MOSFETs.
Global IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET Market: Recent Developments
