According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019," the combined global market for IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) and super junction MOSFET (Metal-oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) was valued USD 4,776.2 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period 2013 - 2019.
The market is estimated to reach USD 10,100.0 million by 2019. Increasing focus on improving energy efficiency in electrical and electronic product designs, driven by regulatory pressure is expected to drive the growth of this market over the coming years. In 2012, Asia Pacific was the largest regional market for IGBT and super junction MOSFETs in terms of revenue, accounting for around 39% share of the total global market. Asia Pacific is also the fastest growing market for IGBT and super junction MOSFETs with its proliferating electronics manufacturing industry led by developments in China, South Korea and Taiwan
In 2012, IGBT modules held around 64% revenue share of the total market, while the rest was held by discrete IGBTs. While growth of the IGBT modules segment is driven by increasing demand from photovoltaic inverters and electric and hybrid vehicles, discrete IGBTs are experiencing increasing demand from the consumer electronics sector. The industrial applications segment was the leading application area for IGBT in 2012 in terms of revenue generation, followed by the motor drives application segment. The electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) application area for IGBT is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period, growing at a CAGR of 21.1%. The converters, chargers and adapters application area was the leading segment for super junction MOSFETs in 2012, followed by the others (servers, networking equipment, etc.) segment. Like IGBT, the electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) application segment for super junction MOSFETs is anticipated to be the fastest growing application area, growing at a CAGR of 30% during the forecast period 2013 - 2019.
