Market Overview

The IGBT market was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2019, and it is expected to reach USD 9.38 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 9.66%, during the forecast period (2020-2025). The broad application range of IGBTs lured several new companies to venture into the market. IGBT activates/modifies electrical energy in several modern appliances, such as cookers, microwaves, electric cars, trains, variable-frequency drives (VFDs), variable speed refrigerators, air conditioners, lamp ballasts, municipal power transmission systems, and stereo systems, which are well-equipped with switching amplifiers.

  • Driven by carbon emission regulation, the automobile market is moving toward electrification of powertrains in electric and hybrid vehicles (EV/HEV), where conduction and switching losses are significantly reduced, having a direct impact on the overall efficiency.
  • Sales of electric cars in Europe, North America, and China are creating new avenues for IGBTs to support infrastructure and for manufacturing EV. Thus, the stance of IGBT in the market is further strengthened.
  • IGBTs could not penetrate into the market for lower voltage ranges (<400 V), as they do offer any major advantage compared to MOSFETs. It cannot deal with limited free-wheeling current since it lacks body-drain diode and a large current tail. IGBTs are vulnerable to heating issues because they run at very high frequencies and under high power. Thermal characterization helps to optimize the IGBTs layout, structure, and mounting to optimize its performance.

Scope of the Report

The structure of insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) provides a steady supply of electricity, by reducing the congestion in power supply, which leads to optimized power utilization. The two types of IGBT are discrete and modular. They are continuously being used in EV/HEV, renewables, UPS, rail, and motor drives industries.

Key Market Trends

EV/HEV to Drive the Growth of IGBT

  • Electric cars and hybrid vehicles use IGBT modules as they require a higher level of reliability compared to typical industrial purposes.
  • The reliability of IGBT modules as compared to other systems is the primary factor influencing the growth of the market.
  • According to EEI, the total EV sales for 2018 were up 40%, compared to 2017. BMW and Volvo stood out with a much higher share of EV sales than other automakers (excluding Tesla).
  • The United States, which hosts maximum EVs (thus having maximum market share for IGBT), has seen EV sales increasing over the years.

Asia-Pacific to Witness the Fastest Growth

  • In 2018, all the electric vehicles gained 3% share in the mix from 2017, driven by growth in China.
  • According to EVVOLUMES, largest growth contributor, in 2018, was China, where sales increased by over 500,000 units to 1.2 million.
  • China stood for 56% of all plug-in sales. In the neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) segment 520,000, or 78% more units were sold in 2018. Primarily, due to the increasing production of electric vehicles in the region, the market is expected to witness a significant growth rate in the region.
