High power DC-DC converter is a power conversion circuit that uses high frequency switches, inductors, transformers, and capacitors to smooth switching noise to a regulated DC voltage. A closed feedback loop maintains a constant output voltage as the input voltage and output current change. The converter finds its application on computers, laptops, mobile phones, space vehicles, buses, and lighting systems, which are used in various ends such as consumer electronics, IT & telecommunications, energy and power, and automotive.


COVID-19 IMPACT 


Due to COVID-19 Pandemic, the Semiconductor Industry Faced Negative Impact


Since the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread in almost 100 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring it a pandemic. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was severe on the semiconductor and electronics industry.


According to our analysis, the sudden decline in the production of electronics components and the performance gap was the major reason for the decline in industry growth. The demand for home-office electronic, home electronic equipment, and other necessary systems during the lockdown declined.


The automotive industry is anticipated to grow with a year on year growth rate of 26-28% in 2021. The short-term impact was observed in the automotive industry. Thus, these aspects will hamper the growth for the high power DC-DC supply and demand in the next few years.

Growing Technological Features in the Product Owing to its Vast Usage to be a Leading Market Trend


The new high power DC-DC converters feature new technology features in areas such as range of input output voltages, increased efficiency, noise optimization, digital interface, power management, multi-channel input and output, and safety standards. Advancement in GaN-based technology along with enhanced thermal management systems has increased the power density of high power converters beyond 5 kW/In3. Advancements in 3D printing technology can provide advanced structures while designing an efficient thermal management solution for high power converters.


For instance, in August 2022, Alencon Systems launched a new DC-DC converter called ‘CUBE’ with power rating starting from 430 kW for applications in energy storage and solar power modules. CUBE reduces the overall cost of solar power projects by reducing the required number of power blocks.


New high power converters minimize the noise and electromagnetic interference. Electromagnetic compatibility standards ensure proper operation of the equipment and control of EMI such that unwanted effects are prevented.



  • Flex Power Module’s BMR683 High Power DC-DC Converter has EMC specification according to EN55022/EN55032, CISPR 22/CISPR 32, and FCC part 15J regulations

  • Traco Power’s TMR 4 series has EMC specifications as per EN55032, and FCC Part 15, both Class A and B.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Investments in Wind and Solar Power to Propel Market Growth


Rising focus in decreasing carbon emissions by reducing coal-based power plants and shifting toward renewable energy sources such as wind and solar will proliferate the demand for high power converters across the globe.



  • In September 2022, under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the U.S. government planned to invest more than USD 300 billion in wind and solar-based power projects by the year 2030.



  • In August 2022, Denmark and Germany announced to invest USD 9 billion in 3 GW wind power generation plants.

  • In August 2022, Saudi Arabia announced to invest USD 2.4 billion to set up a wind power plant in Uzbekistan.


China is aiming to build 450 GW power generation of solar and wind energy sources in Gobi and other desert regions. As of December 2021, China had 306 GW of solar power and 328 GW of wind turbines.



  • India invested USD 14.5 billion in renewable energy sources and aims to achieve 450 GW power generation by renewable energy sources by 2030.


Besides wind and solar power sources, technological development in hydrogen fuel cell will also catalyze the growth of high power converters, especially through its application in electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen for fuel cells. 



  • In August 2022, the state government of New South Wales awarded a contract worth USD 23.99 billion to set up 10 wind power projects.


Increasing Demand for Electric Vehicles to Increase the Demand for the Product


With increase in focus on environment, renewable, and clean energy solutions, there has been a global increase in demand for electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Sales of electric cars (including fully electric and plug-in hybrids) doubled in 2021 to reach a new record of 6.6 billion. Skyrocketing increase in the sales of EVs led to an increase in demand for high power DC-DC converters.


More than half of all electric cars in 2021 were assembled in China, and the country is set to maintain its manufacturing dominance. This has resulted in an increase in demand for these types of converters from the Asia Pacific region. These converters are used in electric vehicle charging stations. An increase in electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the world has led to an increase in demand for high power DC-DC converters.


Under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the U.S. government plans to establish 500,000 new EV charging stations across the U.S. with an investment of USD 7.5 billion by 2030.



  • As of June 2022, there are 3.92 billion charging piles deployed across China, up by 101.2% from the same period of last year, according to the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance (EVCIPA).


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High-frequency Noise Linked with Power Converters to Hamper Market Growth


Switching converters are prone to noise. The main parts of power inductors which are fitted with DC-DC converters may often vibrate when alternating current switches and pulse waves of frequencies flow in the audible range causing acoustic noise. This noise is generated when the input voltage is above, below, or equal to the output. The converter is needed to perform both step-up and step-down functions. High power converters find their applications in many areas but are expensive. The cost factor may act as a restraint in demand for converters.


Very Short Hold-up Time of DC-DC Converters May Hinder Market Growth


DC-DC converters have a very short hold up time usually in Picoseconds. Hold-up time is the duration for which the converter operates within its limits after power input is lost. This can create problems in data processing and other computer related applications that require hold up time to be longer for orderly system shutdown. The hold-up time also varies according to the size and value of the output capacitors used in a small module. To increase hold-up time, the size of the capacitor may have to be increased. These are some factors that may hinder high power DC-DC converter market growth as customers might look for less noise-generating alternatives. This may result in a small decline in the market in terms of revenue.
