Market Share of Power Electronics Industry
The intensity of competitive rivalry in the power electronics market is expected to be high and remain unchanged over the forecast period. The market comprises several global and popular players, such as ON Semiconductor, Infineon, ROHM, STMicroelectronics NV, and others. Although the market poses moderately high barriers to entry for new players, several new entrants have gained traction.
In May 2023, Infineon launched CoolSiC power modules using 3.3 kV MOSFETs in the XHP 2 package for traction applications. The FF2000UXTR33T2M1 and FF2600UXTR33T2M1 power modules use newly developed 3.3 kV CoolSiC MOSFETs and Infineon’s XT interconnection technology. The modules come in an XHP 2 package specifically tailored for traction applications.
In May 2023, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation developed a new structure for a silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (SiC-MOSFET) embedded with a Schottky barrier diode (SBD), which the company has applied in a 3.3 kV full SiC power module, the FMF800DC-66BEW for large industrial equipment such as railways and DC power systems.
In January 2023, Renesas Electronics announced a new gate driver IC designed to drive high-voltage power devices such as IGBTs (insulated gate transistors) and SiC (silicon carbide) MOSFETs for electric vehicle (EV) inverters. Moreover, As electric vehicles become more affordable, demand for automotive power semiconductors is increasing rapidly. The business continually increases its market share by providing various products to meet demand.
