The Middle East & Africa power electronics market was valued at US$ 3.20 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 4.27 billion by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 3.7% from 2022 to 2030.
These power electronics have higher switching frequencies, which is beneficial in the conversion of voltage magnitude and frequency control by allowing control of power flow; it also increases its implementation in smart grids. Government investment in microgrid projects, infrastructure, and power generation is on the rise. For instance, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in the US plans to invest US$ 52 billion annually in infrastructure and power generation to provide electricity for everyone by 2030. This investment equals 3.4% of the average annual global energy sector investment. The expansion of the power generation industry increased the demand for power electronics for controlling power flow.
Growing Adoption of Smart Grid Technology Bolsters Middle East & Africa Power Electronics Market
The smart grid can help transform the topology and power system operation of electrical networks. Power electronics are used to control the flow of power in the smart grid to ensure the reliability as well as stability of the smart grids by allowing for more effective and efficient energy management. Various power electronic devices such as metal oxide silicon field effect transistors (MOSFET), insulated gate bipolar junction transistors (IGBT), triode as an AC switch (TRIAC), gate turn off thyristor (GTO), and integrated gate commutated thyristors (IGCT), among others, has a high voltage handling and high current carrying capacity.These power electronics have higher switching frequencies, which is beneficial in the conversion of voltage magnitude and frequency control by allowing control of power flow; it also increases its implementation in smart grids.
