Emerging Applications in Renewable Energy Boost Asia Pacific Electronic Chemicals Market

Electronics are essential components of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Monitoring systems with electronic sensors and communication modules enable real-time performance monitoring and remote management of solar photovoltaic systems. Power converters, pitch control systems, and grid-tie converters are used to convert variable wind energy into stable AC electricity.

Electronic components such as sensors, actuators, and control algorithms optimize turbine performance. Moreover, electronic components are used in energy storage systems and smart grid technologies. Electronics are the major contributors to the electric vehicle charging infrastructure, which supports the adoption of renewable energy-powered electric vehicles.

According to the Chinese government report published in 2023, the number of charging stations for electric vehicles increased at a rapid pace in China in 2022. China reported the presence of 5.21 million charging stations by the end of 2022, including more than 2.59 million built in 2022. According to the International Energy Agency 2023 report, the renewable power capacity is expected to increase in the next five years, of which solar PV and wind energy accounted for 96% of power capacity, as their power generation costs are lower than fossil and non-fossil alternatives. Solar PV and wind energy capacity are forecast to double by 2028 compared to 2022.

The continuous growth in the economic attractiveness of PV and increasing government policy support, especially in China, the US, the European Union, and India, are expected to further accelerate capacity growth in the coming years. Thus, the emerging applications of electronics in renewable energy is further expected to create lucrative opportunities for the electronic chemicals market.

Asia Pacific Electronic Chemicals Market Overview

Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing in Asia Pacific has been a major driver of global trade. Asia Pacific is a global hub for the production and export of technical consumer goods-including consumer electronics such as laptops, desktops, cellphones, radio sets, sound systems, and televisions-and other essential electronic parts and domestic appliances. The increase in the number of on-fleet vehicles in Asian countries such as China, India, and South Korea is propelling the demand for PCBs and semiconductors.

China is one of the high-skilled manufacturing hubs, whereas India, South Korea, and Taiwan are considered attractive business destinations for electronics companies looking for medium-skilled manufacturing infrastructure and low labor costs. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers report, motor vehicle production in Asia Pacific was estimated to be ~46.73 million units in 2021. As battery technology continues to improve, Asia Pacific is expected to become a key hub for electric vehicle production.

China has emerged as one of the largest electric vehicle markets globally, supported by government policies promoting electric vehicles. According to a report released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), in 2022, Tesla Inc delivered 83,135 made-in-China electric vehicles, indicating growth in sales of electric vehicles from 2021. Thus, the growth in consumer electronics and the electric vehicle industry is projected to drive the demand for electronic chemicals.
