Automotive Power Electronics Market Drivers

Rise in the number of vital end-users

A solid-state circuit component that converts the current from the source to the load is a component of power electronics. Controlling power fluctuations in components like monitoring diodes and transistors is the basic goal of power electronics. In applications like body electronics, chassis & powertrain, infotainment & telematics, and safety & security system, it also handles the power to improve energy conservation. Both unidirectional and bidirectional current flow can be managed by power electronics.

For greater efficiency and high power under temperature, automotive power electronics are primarily used in power generation. They are utilised in systems for the automotive and aerospace industries, among others. Automotive power electronics are made up of a variety of parts, including MCUs, power ICs, and sensors. Although installed in passenger cars and commercial vehicles as well, power electronics are mostly employed in electric vehicles to safeguard the systems from power outages.

Strong demand for passenger vehicles to benefit the market

The automotive power electronics industry is significantly influenced by the passenger car segment. The domination of passenger vehicles is fueled by the rising demand for safety features and fuel-efficient technology related to vehicle power trains in growing markets.

Over the past five to ten years, various safety, comfort, entertainment, and vehicle management features have been added to passenger cars. This is due to a number of causes, including shifting consumer preferences for vehicles and government legislation aimed at boosting vehicle safety. OEMs are also quite busy in introducing new vehicle models and variants that will satisfy consumer demand. Additionally, growing populations in emerging nations motivate OEMs to include particular amenities in new passenger vehicle models.

This is done to distinguish one's items from other ones on the market. In the mass-produced vehicle category, i.e., passenger vehicles, OEMs, Tier I, and Tier II also endeavor to implement new technologies or features. These factors will enhance the usage of power electronics in passenger vehicles in the following years.
