List of Abbreviations AbstractTechnological Development Prerequisite to Augmenting Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) SalesWithout adequate technological advancements, the BJT market is heavily dependent on revenues from the consumer electronics and the lighting industries. Compared to other power transistors such as insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), BJT’s percent of contribution to total market revenues is predicted to decline. Enhanced technological expertise regarding improved and modified BJTs is a requirement for sales to improve in this market. This Frost & Sullivan research service analyzes the world power transistors market, segmenting it into BJT, MOSFET, and IGBT segments. It discusses the various trends and opportunities while providing in-depth analyses on market share, forecasts, drivers, restraints, and revenues. With its comprehensive focus, this study enables companies to align their positioning strategies to benefit from the changing market and obtain maximum return on investment. IGBT Enhancements Lead to Immense Growth Opportunities in Industrial and Automotive Applications The IGBT segment is currently in the early stages of technology development. Nonetheless, it contributes a large percent of revenues in the world power transistors market. The devices in this segment combine high switching speed, low saturation voltage, and high current capabilities of a BJT and the gate drive characteristics of a MOSFET. These enhanced products are replacing most MOSFETs in the high voltage ranges. After industrial applications, IGBTs derive a huge percent of their revenues from the automotive industry. With the increasing number of safety features in vehicles, IGBTs are in huge demand in the automotive industry, especially in the United States. Traction, variable speed motor drives, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), induction heating, welding, and high-frequency switch mode power supply in telecom and server systems are some industrial applications that employ IGBTs. New IGBT versions such as version 5-carrier stored trench gate bipolar transistor (CSTBT) offer higher density, lower conduction losses, and better current capability. Hence, customers view them as a better choice for power factor correction. Lower Labor and Production Costs Encourage Manufacturers to Outsource to Asia Asia has had a significant impact on the power transistors market by serving as a large end-user base and a valuable outsourcing destination for North American and European companies. The BJT segment thrives in Asia due to end-user demand for low-end consumer electronic goods. As a result, semiconductor manufacturers have begun moving their manufacturing base units to Asian countries, mainly due to the lower labor, installation and production costs, shorter time-to-market, faster cycle times, reduced capital, increased flexibility, and developing economies. Despite these advantages, the move toward outsourcing to eastern countries by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) leads to price competition, limiting the revenue growth. Manufacturers also need to maintain and cultivate long-term relationships with end users in Asia since they tend to favor familiar semiconductor vendors. |
