THYRISTORS DEVICES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global thyristors devices market size was USD 0.99 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 1.66 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 to 2033. Asia-Pacific is dominating the thyristors devices market share in 2025.

Having four layers of alternately used P- and N-type materials, a thyristor is a high-power solid-state semiconductor device. It solely performs the function of a bistable switch, opening upon receiving a current trigger at the gate and remaining open until the device's voltage is reverse biased or the voltage is gone. Two separate designs each have their own conducting state induction methods. Thyristors can control a significant amount of power and voltage with a small piece of equipment.

Thyristors devices are frequently used to manage alternating currents, where the change in polarity of the current causes the device to automatically shut off, and are typically utilized where high currents and voltages are involved. Thyristors devices have a wide range of uses in electric power management, from high-voltage direct-current power transmission to light dimmers and electric motor speed control. They can be used in circuits for power switching, relay replacement, inverters, oscillators, level detectors, chopper circuits, light dimming, low-cost timer circuits, logic circuits, speed control, and phase control.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Lockdowns and Other Restrictions Hampered Market Growth

COVID-19 had a life changing impact globally. The global electrical insulation paper market was significantly affected. The virus had various impacts on different markets. Lockdowns were imposed in several nations. This erratic pandemic caused disruptions on all sorts of businesses. Restrictions tightened during the pandemic due to increasing number of cases. Numerous Industries were affected. However, the market for electrical insulation paper experienced a drop in demand.

The disruptions in supply chain caused a hamper in the production units. This was led due to lack of raw materials and inaccessibility to manufacturing hubs. Also, the work force in this industry saw a major decline. Due to the social distancing norms and laws put forth by the governments, people were confined out of the factories. This caused a decline in the global thyristors devices market share.

There was a surge in electricity usage across the globe. The need for it increased due to ventilators usage, lights for multiple operations and so on. To keep up with the electricity needs, power switching, inverters and oscillators saw a rise in demand across multiple areas to ensure no power cut in a hospital or neighborhood. This led to an increase in usage high current and high voltage circuits as they would last long and were ideal for usage. With the surge of electricity requirements, the global thyristors devices market is set for robust growth.

LATEST TRENDS

Spontaneous Testing to Broaden Market Growth

Research Gate have identified thyristors devices having high voltage direct current [HVDC] applications. The devices have been tested to improve transmission efficiency at ever increasing line voltages. The experiment focused on ultra-high voltage series connected asymmetric thyristors and diodes as a ‘cost-effective’ solution. These proved to be a more efficient device that phase controlled thyristors. In order to meet the higher performance objectives, it is predicted that this device will exhibit "best-in-class" electrical and reliability performance, with low temperature bonding serving as the primary "enabling" technology.

Article published by EEPower suggested methods to manufacture fast power thyristors. This was being achieved with the help of low temperature junction of silicon chips with molybdenum discs. With this technique, a stable silicon chip-molybdenum disc connection is produced, one that has a high cycling capacity and a low heat resistance. Thermal contact must be secured by external installation force from the cathode side. The fact that silicon's surface layers do not disintegrate is another significant benefit of free-floating silicon technology. These factors are expected to drive thyristors devices market development.

Smart grid developments, low carbon power system deployment, replacement of MOSFET with IGBT in EVs/HEVs are stipulated to drive the global thyristors devices market share.

Increasing Urbanization to Increase Need for Electricity 

Urbanization has a major development goal globally across continents. According to the United Nations, 55% of the world’s population resides in urban areas. But projections indicate there will be a gradual shift of the population from rural to urban areas. The population that resides in urban areas is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. As the population shifts, there would be a need for infrastructure. This would directly result in need for electrical appliances and electrical circuitry within the infrastructure. This is expected to boost the global thyristors devices market share.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Manufacturing Costs to Lessen Market Availability

There are several factors that could affect the global thyristors devices market growth. The major hindrance would be caused due to the massive manufacturing costs. Since implementation of the infrastructure is expensive; it poses as a definite hinder to the market share. Furthermore, the lack of awareness amongst industry specialists and consumers. The benefits of thyristors modules are not spread across the people. These shortcomings could impact the adoption of amorphous metal ribbons in the future.
