Market Share of Discrete Semiconductor Industry
The global discrete semiconductor market is highly fragmented, with numerous semiconductor manufacturers providing the product. The companies are continuously investing in product and technology to promote sustainable environmental growth and prevent environmental hazards. The companies are also acquiring other companies that specifically deal with these products to boost the market's share. Some of the recent developments in the market are:
- In January 2023, Hitachi Astemo, Ltd., a renowned Japanese manufacturer of automotive components, announced that its electric vehicle inverters would use ROHM Semiconductor's new fourth-generation SiCMOSFETs and gate driver ICs. The newest fourth-generation SiCMOSFETs from ROHM offer the lowest ON-resistance in the industry and improved short-circuit withstand time, allowing for an increase in the cruising range of electric vehicles by 6% when compared to IGBTs.
- In January 2023, Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the introduction of a new gate driver IC designed to drive high-voltage power devices such as IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs for electric vehicle (EV) inverters.
