IGBTs are three-terminal power semiconductor devices primarily used for electrical applications in phase control, pulse modulation, and switches, owing to their fast switching and high-efficiency attributes. IGBT is gaining huge popularity across the consumer electronics sector, on the back of its ability to lower switching loss and decrease thermal stress on electrical appliances, resulting in increasing reliability and extending appliances' life.
Thus, they are increasingly being used in numerous modern appliances and machineries such as microwaves, stereo systems, variable speed refrigerators, trains, automotive vehicles, and others, which is in turn, propelling the demand for IGBT.
Electricity has emerged as a basic requirement of modern society and the absence of which can cause a halt in several day-to-day activities and huge loss in commercial and industrial sectors. IGBT provides excellent power efficiency in high blocking and low power voltage instance and assists in decreasing the congestion in the power supply resulting in a disturbance-free and smooth supply of electricity. Attributed to this, these transistors are finding a wide range of applications across several industrial verticals.
Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading IGBT Market Growth?
As the trend of industrialization and electrification continues to surge, a significant rise in demand for electricity and efficient power transmission & distribution is being witnessed across the globe. Thus, governments in several countries are increasingly focusing on the replacement of old power infrastructure and development of smart girds to decrease electricity loss and reduce cost of distribution.
For instance, according to the India Smart Grid Forum, the Government of India announced allocating US$ 129.9 Mn under the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) with budgetary support of around US$ 44.8 Mn for transforming the country's power infrastructure by developing smart grids across smart cities in India.
As IGBT are extensively used in smart grid as grid-connected inverter systems for power conservation, increasing number of smart grid development projects such as Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project, ARRA Smart Grid Investment Grant Projects, and others across the U.S., Germany, the U.K., and others is expected to favor the growth in the market.

What are the Challenges Faced by the IGBT Market?
Although there are several advantages of adopting IGBT, high turn-off time, inability to block high reverse voltage, issues in latching up, and high cost of this transistor are factors hindering the sales of IGBT. IGBT is unstable in cases of economic slowdown and high temperature and is lesser symmetric blocking capacity.
Also, rising instance of IGBT failure due to environmental factors such as humidity is encouraging end use industry players to adopt low-cost alternatives such as MOSFET, which is in turn, hampering the growth in the global market.
Why is Asia Pacific Excluding Japan Emerging as an Opportunistic IGBT Market?
Future Market Insights states that Asia Pacific excluding Japan is expected to register the fastest growth in the global IGBT market from 2022 to 2032.
With rising demand for electricity and growing concerns regarding carbon emission due to use of petroleum derivatives, governments in the region are increasingly undertaking numerous initiatives to increase their production of green energy using renewable sources of energy such as air, wind, and water.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the India Government announced sanctioning US$ 616.76 Million to Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd. for the development of solar energy production units under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.
Also, leading industry players are increasingly aiming at launching new renewable energy generation plants for capitalizing the surging demand for electricity, resulting in creating strong demand for electrical equipment, transistors, and devices. For instance, in October 2020, Huaneng Power International announced launching the world’s largest solar plant with 320 MW floating PV arrays in Shandong Province, China. Such developments in the region are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities in the IGBT market across Asia Pacific excluding Japan.
