Power Semiconductor Market Dynamics and Trends

Increasing investments and a growing switch towards renewable energy escalated the market growth for power semiconductors. Furthermore, material technology advancements in power semiconductors drive the product's market share.

Advancements in material technologies employed in power semiconductors drive the market share for the product

Power semiconductors are a switch in high-voltage applications such as power supplies, solar, automotive and trains. They improve system efficiencies and reduce energy losses. Several global vendors are releasing the next generation of power semiconductors, relying on silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), paving the way for a market battle with traditional silicon-based devices. New power semiconductors are specialized transistors that use competitive technologies, including GaN, SiC and silicon. For years, silicon-based devices, such as power MOSFETs and insulated-gate bipolar transistors, dominated the power semiconductor market (IGBTs). Both are mature and reasonably priced, but they have reached their practical maximums in several ways and new products are gaining demand and popularity in the market.

GaN and SiC are wide-bandgap technologies, which means they are more efficient and faster than silicon-based devices. Today, silicon-based devices account for over 90% of the total power semiconductor market. Although GaN and SiC devices have low adoption rates, they are expected to displace silicon rivals anytime soon. The new GaN and SiC devices make a bigger impact on the market. SiC, for instance, is growing at a double-digit rate, whereas silicon-based devices are growing at a single-digit rate. The silicon carbide power device market is expected to expand rapidly, fueled primarily by the automotive industry.

Since advancements in material technologies associated with power semiconductors could develop faster, more efficient and long-lasting chips essential in varied industries such as automotive, the respective factor could be recognized as a market driver. 

Increasing competition in the semiconductor market is expected to restrain the global power semiconductor market

Semiconductors are an important part of the technology world, lurking in the internal workings of smartphones, automobiles, toys and other devices. However, with such fierce competition in this niche market, a logistical blunder, lax cost control or misread demand can significantly reduce or even eliminate a company's ROI. Leading-edge chip design and manufacturing necessitate a strong supply chain, talent scouting, government contracts and intellectual property protection knowledge.

Operational costs like labor, utilities and materials impact how quickly a company pays off its initial CAPEX. A company can review a simplified model to forecast when semiconductor companies will probably see profits from a new fab to increase clarity about risks and potential returns, according to a McKinsey & Company analysis. The model provides broad estimates of when to expect a return on investment rather than precise cost insights. After considering depreciation, cost of capital and other factors, the model prioritizes factors like total capital expenditures (CAPEX), year-over-year revenue based on the average selling price of goods produced at the fab and so on. The public assistance received is crucial in determining when businesses will profit. 

COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Power Semiconductor Market

The power semiconductor market is affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is backed by government support and strategic development plans for developing semiconductor-related technologies. Further, power semiconductor market demand will increase due to a surge in demand for the product by the end-user industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, military and aerospace and industrial. 

The impact of COVID-19 on individual application segments was even more complex. For instance, the PC segment saw the greatest drop in demand and the performance gap is expected to widen over time. Demand will fall in the following years because more people will purchase all of the home-office electronics required for remote work in 2020 and demand will fall in the following years. Similarly, businesses may continue to delay investment opportunities in PCs to control spending, even if the recovery is proceeding. Furthermore, since the automotive market grew by 28 to 36% year-on-year in 2021, a 1 to 5 % increase is anticipated in demand for power semiconductors in the automotive segment, presuming lower interest rates in financial assistance such as loans and government providing incentives to car buyers. The outbreak of COVID-19 has created an immense obstacle to the growth of the power semiconductor market; however, improving the vaccination drive across the globe has improved the market conditions, thereby creating huge market prospects for the product after COVID-19.
