COVID-19 IMPACT

"Supply Chain Disruptions Decreased the Production of Semiconductor Switches"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the power semiconductor switches market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The market for power semiconductor switches experienced a slowdown in the demand for these switches during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic disrupted global supply chains and caused shortages of critical components and materials required for manufacturing power semiconductor switches. Also, lockdown restrictions led to factory shutdowns and affected transportation which had a ripple effect on production and delivery schedules. However, after the end of this crisis, the market began to gain a steady growth in the demand for these switches and is expected to continue to rise in the coming years.

LATEST TRENDS

"Popularity of Wide-Bandgap (WBG) Semiconductors Amplify the Market Opportunities"

The market for power semiconductor switches is evolving steadily and expected to gain a higher growth rate due to driving factors and ongoing trends such as the popularity of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors and automotive electrification. The adoption of wide-bandgap materials as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) continued to grow. These materials offer superior performance and efficiency that make them increasingly popular in power semiconductor switches, particularly in applications similar to electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy, and high-frequency power conversion. While the automotive industry witnessed a surge in electric and hybrid vehicles which is anticipated to drive demand for power semiconductor switches in applications such as motor drives, onboard chargers, and inverters. EVs' growing popularity and autonomous vehicle trends are fuelling innovation in power electronics which is anticipated to broaden the market scope in this forecast period.
