Automotive Power Semiconductors Market is Expected to Grow 5.5% By 2030

18 Jul 2022

The global market for automotive power semiconductors is expected to grow 5.5% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Power semiconductors operate as rectifiers or switches in power electronics modules. Rectifiers convert alternating current to direct current by passing a high-voltage pulse across a one-way circuit. Switches are used in the powertrain, braking systems of passenger and commercial cars, and inverters and battery charging systems of electric vehicles. Power semiconductors are very durable in automotive electronics. Chargers and motors require high voltage capacitance. Increasing car safety systems and technology standards are pushing the automotive power semiconductor market. High price of power semiconductors due to the increasing use of power electronics in EVs is the main factor restricting the automotive power semiconductor industry. 

Strict regulations, rising transportation costs due to supply chain distortion, and reduced output due to Covid 19 slowed the market growth of automotive power semiconductor components. Rising raw material costs are driving up transportation prices. Increasing levies on electronic and electrical components offer a challenge to market dynamics after the outbreak.
