Global Power Semiconductors Market: Asia Pacific Remain Most Lucrative Region

Posted by Arslan on February 5th, 2018

According to a report recently added to the vast repository of Market Research Reports Search Engine (MRRSE), the global market for power semiconductor is slated to ride on a steady CAGR throughout the forecast period, 2017 to 2025. Sales of power semiconductors across the globe are expected to account for revenues worth approximately US$ 55,000 Mn by 2025-end. The report is titled, “Global Power Semiconductor Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 – 2025” and offers a comprehensive analysis on the global power semiconductors market.

Advent of 5G Mobile Communication to drive Demand for Power Semiconductors

Advent of the fifth-generation or 5G mobile communication across the globe is expected to be a leading growth driver for the power semiconductor market. The 5G mobile communication is anticipated to come into effect in this year, 2018, with the number of 5G base stations to surpass that of 4G base stations. As mobile communications create the requirement for power semiconductors, particularly the radiofrequency (RF) type, proliferation of 5G base stations will lead toward deployment of several power amplifiers for each base station. Gallium arsenide (GaA), gallium nitride (GaN), and silicon carbide (SiC), are among a slew of key compounds currently being used in the production of power semiconductors for the fifth-generation communication.

With increasing penetration of electric vehicles, plug-in electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, there has been a rapid rise in deployment of semiconductors in cars. In addition, the advent of x-by-wire and drive-by-wire technologies that include electronic throttle control, shift-by-wire, electric content, and steer-by-wire are increasingly replacing mechanical vehicle parts. In addition high power consumption requirements of data centers also acts as a major factor bolstering demand for power semiconductors. At present, WBG compound power semiconductors are substituting silicon-based power semiconductors, as they hold promise to effectively enhance the data center efficiency by helping curtail its cooling load.
