IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET Market

Promising application outlook to propel growth of IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET Market

The global IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 16178.23 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:

IGBT or Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor is a three terminal electronic device consisting of four alternating layers of semiconductors like silicon. While Super Junction MOSFET or Super Junction Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor is a vertical power MOSFET structure where the n- pillar regions and p- pillar regions alternate instead of a continuous drift region. Both IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET are power semiconductor devices used in various industries for applications like consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, telecommunications, transportation and renewable energy among others. These devices help in switching and controlling high power loads with high efficiency, fast switching speed and low thermal resistance.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET Market Size is growing applications in electric vehicles. With rising demand for electric vehicles globally, demand for their components like motor control units, converters, chargers and other power systems is also increasing significantly. As IGBTs and Super Junction MOSFETs help improve the efficiency, reliability and power density of electric drivetrains and charging systems, their adoption is rising steadily. Furthermore, increasing renewable energy adoption is also boosting the market. These power devices are used extensively in solar photovoltaic inverters, wind turbine systems and other applications related to sustainable energy. Their ability to switch high voltages with minimal power losses makes them indispensable for renewable energy equipment.
