Flyback Converter Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The global flyback converter market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.48% during the forecast period.

A flyback converter is a type of power supply circuit commonly used for voltage conversion in electronic devices, and it operates by storing energy transformer during the ON state of a switch and transferring it to the output during the OFF state. Different types of flyback converters consist of PWM control type, quasi-resonant type, and self-exciting ringing choke converters, which are used in electrical & electronics, telecommunication, and industrial sector due to their higher efficiency in voltage conversion, galvanic isolation, and simplicity of design. The increase in electronic device production and the growing telecommunication infrastructure are driving the demand for flyback converters which is expected to propel the overall market growth.

Growing electronic device production will drive the demand for flyback converters.

Electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, and IoT devices require efficient and reliable power supply solutions. Flyback converters provide efficient voltage conversion capabilities, allowing for stepping up or stepping down voltage levels as required by different electronic devices. This is essential to ensure the devices receive the appropriate and stable power supply for optimal performance. Flyback converters offer galvanic isolation, which is crucial in many electronic applications as it provides a barrier between the input and output sides, protecting the devices from potential electrical hazards and enhancing safety. The increase in electric & electronic device production demands efficient voltage conversion and thus is expected to boost the demand for flyback converters. According to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), in 2021, the global electronics production and IT industries grew by 1% in 2022 and reached $3,436.8 billion. According to the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), in 2021, the overall revenue from sales of consumer electronics in the US increased by 7.5% to $487 billion.

The growth in telecommunication infrastructure will accelerate the market growth.

The rapid expansion of mobile networks, increasing deployment of wireless communication technologies, and the growing demand for data services have led to a significant increase in telecommunication base stations and infrastructure. These base stations require efficient, reliable power supply solutions to ensure uninterrupted communication. With their ability to provide efficient voltage conversion and galvanic isolation, flyback converters are well-suited for powering telecommunication equipment. The increase in internet usage & mobile connections and new investments to improve telecommunication infrastructure will boost the demand for flyback converters. According to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Association, in 2020, the number of mobile connections globally increased to approximately 7.9 billion, compared to 5.2 billion at the end of 2019. According to the International Telecom Union in 2021, internet users increased from 4.1 billion in 2019 to 4.9 billion in 2021. In 2022, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani had committed Rs 2 lakh crore investment for rolling out a 5G network across the country by December 2023.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific region holds a major market share due to massive telecommunication sector growth and a strong electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing base in countries like China and India. In 2022, the General Office of the China State Council approved the electrical and electronics industry's institutional reform, which would eliminate institutional constraints impeding the industry's high-quality development and encourage technological advancement. In 2022, the government of India approved a proposal of 31 companies under the Production Linked Scheme (PLI) introduced for the telecommunication equipment manufacturing industry, which would make India a new telecom equipment manufacturing hub, and the companies committed an investment of INR 3,345 crore over four years. These developments are expected to boost the demand for flyback converters and accelerate their regional market growth.
