The global insulated gate bipolar transistor market size was USD 5.40 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 5.86 billion in 2021 to USD 11.24 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 9.8%. Asia Pacific dominated the global market with a share of 43.8% in 2020.


Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a significant growth of 8.0% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with insulated gate bipolar transistors witnessing a negative impact on demand across all regions amid the pandemic. The rise in CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth, returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


Insulated gate bipolar transistor module functions as a voltage-controlled power electronic device. Due to higher switching frequency, they are widely accepted in high-voltage applications requiring lower conduction losses. It is witnessing rapid demand across automotive, rail, energy & power, and consumer electronics industries. Key players in the market are highly focused on business expansion through the new innovative applications. For instance,



  • In November 2020, Fronius International GmbH and Infineon Technologies launched a solar inverter using IGBT and other products to offer all-in-one solution products. It provides solutions such as an energy storage system, secure power supply, connection for an external system, and electric car charging.


COVID Impact


Disruption in Supply of Hardware and Components to Impact Market Growth Amid COVID-19


The outbreak of coronavirus significantly impacted the entire semiconductor sector. The global disruption in the supply chain owing to the closure of international boundaries has highly affected the production of semiconductor products. As per the Accenture Plc report, the annual revenue growth of the semiconductor industry was projected to reach 12.5%, but due to pandemic crises, it turned out to reach only 9% in the year 2020. Similarly, insulated gate bipolar transistor manufacturing has been extremely disturbed due to the lack of components availability. Moreover, the permission of 50% of the total workforce is also negatively impacting the insulated gate bipolar transistor production capacity. Thus, in the year 2020, the market experienced slow growth rate as compared to earlier estimations.


In the long term, every aspect of the business model could be subject to change, including the capital expenditures, the composition of product portfolios, demand forecasts, R&D strategy, supply-chain footprints, options for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and production decisions. The market players are required to establish a solid baseline to move forward. With this foundation, the companies can chart a path to the next normal.  Further, post-pandemic, the market is expected to gain significant growth due to rapid adoption of renewable energy, growing demand for electric vehicles, and growing implementation of automation and industrialization. Also, an increase in demand for cloud and data centers due to increased remote working is likely to drive market growth post-pandemic.


LATEST TRENDS

Rising Awareness Regarding Renewable Energy Sources to Boost the Market


The requirement to boost the renewable energy foundations will boost up the IGBT market growth. As per International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), renewable energy is expected to gain 85% of the share in the total power sector by the year 2050. As per the IRENA report, electric vehicles and heat pump adoption are expected to become more common across the globe. Governments across several countries are counting renewable energy as a major part of their long-term strategic investment development.


Also, with the technological enhancements and economies of scale, there is a drop in the costs of renewable sources like solar and wind energy by more than 50 percent over the past decade. This tremendous rise in the implementation of renewable electricity sources is encouraging business opportunities. Sensing the potential opportunity in the market, key companies such as Infineon Technologies AG, ABB Ltd., Fuji Electric Ltd., and others are designing IGBT products precisely for renewable energy sources. For instance,



  • In March 2020, a wind converter manufacturer of China, Hopewind Electric Co., Ltd., collaborated with ABB Ltd. to deliver 1700 V / 450 A medium power IGBT modules. The manufacturer is using this transistor for its wind converter applications to 2,000 MW using wind power. Thus, growing awareness of renewable resources is likely to fuel market growth.


INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Surging Demand for Electric Vehicles is Driving the Market Growth


IGBT is an important component of electric vehicles. Power semiconductor devices and modules are the key modules of each power converter. Because of the high voltage and current capability, insulated-gate bipolar transistor modules are frequently used for mid-to high-power applications such as electric vehicle inverters. For instance,



  • In May 2019, Audi, for its first slot of electric vehicles, announced the adoption of Hitachi’s EV inverter. This inverter is equipped with a power module and built-in next-generation insulated-gate bipolar transistor. The combination will provide high power density output which will maximize motor performance. Thus, the rising adoption of electric vehicles will boost the demand for insulated gate bipolar transistors.


Also, the increasing climate changes and global warming are creating awareness regarding energy resources in every field. The automotive sector is one of them, and moving ahead in energy-saving mode. There is an increasing demand for manufacturing electric and hybrid vehicles. Major manufacturers in the automotive industry are planning to invest in advanced EV cars considering government guidelines. Similarly, the rising fuel prices are also compelling users to shift from traditional vehicles to electric vehicles. This is expected to drive the growth for insulated gate bipolar transistor market growth.  


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Design Complexities to Hamper Market Growth


Latch-up associated with the gate control of an insulated gate bipolar transistor can easily break, causing failure of the device. A slight decrease in the latching current density causes an increase in the ambient temperature and increases the turnoff time.


As the transistor enters the latch-up, the gate no longer has any control over the drain current. The forced commutation of the current can be the only way to turn off the IGBT in this situation.


If latch-up is not terminated quickly, the excessive power dissipation is likely to destroy the bipolar transistor. This is expected to hamper the market potential.


SEGMENTATION


By Voltage Analysis


Growing Applications in Various Sector to Fuel High Voltage Market Share


Based on the voltage, the market has been divided into low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage. High voltage is expected to gain the maximum share during the forecast period.
