Power Transistor Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunities and Forecast, 2018-2028

Power Transistor market is expected to grow during the forecast period, owing to the following factors such as rise in the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT), increase in the awareness regarding the beneficial features of the power transistor and rising demand for power transistors in the communication and connected electronic devices.

Power transistors are three terminal devices which are comprised of semiconductor materials. They include emitter, base, and collector terminals. Moreover, the primary function of a transistor is to augment the weak signals and regulate them accordingly. Furthermore, these transistors might be either of NPN (Negative Positive Negative) or PNP (Positive Negative Positive) polarity and are available in different types with power and switching speed ratings.

Increasing Demand for Consumer Electronics

In consumer electronics, power transistors are a vital component because they play an important role in amplifying electronics signals and are used to improve the functionality and performance of consumer electronics. Therefore, the developed and developing economies proliferate the growth of consumer electronics through government support, technological advancements, initiatives, and investments, etc. For instance, in India, the government is expecting an investment of USD 4183 million under the PLI scheme for large scale electronic manufacturing, mainly mobile phones and electronics components, by 2025. Moreover, schemes such as the Make in India programme, the National Policy on Electronics, the Production Linked Incentive Scheme for the electronics sector, the Modified Special Incentives Scheme, the Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC) Scheme, and several other measures are intended to provide incentives for domestic manufacturing, localization of electronics manufacturing, attracting foreign direct investment, and increasing exports. Hence, due to such investments and initiatives, the global power transistor market is expected to augment during the forecast period.

Technological Advancements in Power Transistors

Power transistors are used in almost every electrical appliance around us, including personal computers, smartphones, and televisions, and have a significant impact on their performances. Therefore, transistor technologies are being enhanced every day to attain higher performance such as greater operating speed, lower power consumption, smaller size, etc. Transistors were initially designed using germanium (Ge), but silicon (Si) was subsequently used to improve performance of circuits. Moreover, traditional power converters use fast-switching transistors to convert the electrical energy. These transistors add cost, reduce efficiency, negatively impacting the reliability of the converter. In the standard converter, power/speed demand, loss, and failure are mostly related to the fast-switching transistor. Later on, elimination of the fast-switching transistors allows for advanced, high-performance power converters that can operate with improved power densities, and efficiency, while reducing the costs associated with installation, repair, and replacement of traditional converters. Therefore, with the growing adoption of technological advancements in power transistors, the global power transistor is likely to grow with a rapid pace in the next coming years.

Rising 5G Technology Drives the Market’s Growth

5G technology has led to the introduction of a significant number of new RF (Radio Frequency) features that need to be implemented in mobile networks while considering stringent constraints in board space and power consumption. To meet these increasingly challenging requirements, RF designers have turned to the use of alternative materials, such as wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, capable of offering significant improvements in terms of both power density and efficiency, compared with traditional silicon-based RF power ICs. Therefore, increasing 5G technology is likely to impact the demand for power transistors globally.
