World IGBT and Thyristor Market 2013-2018: Power, Renewable Energy, Motor Drives and Others
M2 - Wed Feb 26, 6:00AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/62pqkl/igbt_and) has announced the addition of the "World IGBT and Thyristor Market 2013-2018: Power, Renewable Energy, Motor Drives and Others" report to their offering. This report describes the thyristor and IGBT technology and its development in applications such as power, renewable energy, motor drives, motor controls, light dimmers, and others. With particular reference to thyristors' application in high-voltage and high-current areas, the fundamental features and characteristics of thyristors have been discussed. Many thyristors connected in series together with specially designed auxiliary mechanical and electronic systems built with so called thyristor valves, form the converters for the power systems. The global market is in its growth stage, however, it contains great potential across many industry verticals. Electric power is an essential component in modern society; the absence of power supply will have devastating repercussions on human life. The transmission system is loaded to their limits and power trading with varying load patterns can contribute to an increasing congestion in urban cities. IGBT and Thyristor were developed to take advantage of the short switching times and low switching losses of the Metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) and higher breakdown voltage and low conduction losses of the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), to fulfill the demands of the current electric system. The key drivers of the IGBT and Thyristor ecosystem are: aging power Infrastructure in developed geographical regions, demand replacement, increasing number of offshore wind farm and the government incentivization to establish HVDC grid, de-carbonization of power system and deployment of smart grid. The market, in spite of its exceptional demand; still has some restraints in its market growth. The key market restraints can be classified as: High Cost Factor, High Level of Expenditure, and lack of awareness. The high-tech power grid will increase power trading among the neighboring nations which would be a burning issue for the Global market in the days to come, while developments/advancements in power electronics would be a winning imperative for the existing as well as new entrants.

Global Power Discrete Market 2014-2018: with Infineon Technologies AG, Mitsubishi Electric Corp, and Toshiba Corp. Dominating
M2 - Mon Feb 24, 10:54AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vgdfkh/global_power) has announced the addition of the "Global Power Discrete Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Power Discrete market to grow at a CAGR of 8.43 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the high demand for discrete IGBTs. The Global Power Discrete market has also been witnessing the emerging market for SiC and GaN power semiconductors. However, the low demand due to global economic slowdown could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, Mitsubishi Electric Corp, STMicroelectronics N.V., and Toshiba Corp. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Fuji Electric Co. Ltd., International Rectifier, ON Semiconductor Corp., Renesas Electronics Corp., and Vishay Intertechnology Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The emerging market for SiC and GaN power semiconductors is expected to drive the Global Power Discrete market during the forecast period. SiC power semiconductors comprise SiC MOSFET, SiC JFET, SiC BJT, and SiC Schottky diodes. Currently, SiC is widely used in the development of power semiconductors; however, GaN is a wide bandgap material that offers similar performance benefits to SiC but has greater cost-reduction potential, and the market for GaN power semiconductors is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. In addition, GaN can be made available using existing silicon substrates, which can enable mass production and reduced cost. Power semiconductors using next-generation materials such as SiC and GaN are characterized to have lower energy loss, high-speed switching, and higher heat resistance than conventionally-used silicon. The adoption of SiC and GaN power semiconductors is expected to witness a significant increase, particularly in the EV/HEV and Industrial Motor Drive segments. According to the report, the growth of the Global Power Discrete market is driven by several factors, including the high demand for discrete IGBTs. Discrete IGBTs enable increased efficiency in electronic devices ranging from consumer electronics to several high power electronic applications. They play a major role in the technological advancement of power electronics.
