Automotive Power Modules Market Trends
-
Increased Adoption of Electric Vehicles Drives Market Growth
The increased adoption of electric vehicles is driving the market CAGR for automotive power modules. The demand for electric vehicles is increasing quickly as a result of the need to meet future energy requirements. The necessity for environmentally friendly transportation is a major factor in the demand for electric automobiles. The EV market is emerging as a crucial component of the automotive sector and is a solution to improve energy efficiency as well as minimise pollution and other glasshouse gas emissions.
Furthermore, rising energy prices and competition between new energy-efficiency technologies are further factors anticipated to boost industry expansion. In 2017, the number of new electric car sales worldwide exceeded one million. Comparing this to 2016, there was an increase of roughly 54%. The industry exceeded 2 million sales in 2018. In some nations, like Norway, where ICE sales have reached a saturation point, consumers are choosing electric vehicles over ICE models at a higher rate.
Due to this paradigm shift in the mobility industry, businesses are even working to develop and manufacture power modules for electric cars. Companies including Infineon Technologies AG, Fuji Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, and Danfoss Group are among those working on relevant items right now and are anticipated to update their product lines in the future. Over the course of the forecast, this is anticipated to support market expansion.
In addition, the excellent utilisation of automotive power modules in electric and hybrid vehicles is becoming more and more well-known. These aid in giving the cars safety precautions for the actual physical confinement of different power parts. These include, among other things, power semiconductors as devices. As they are normally soldered on any electronic substrate that aids in delivering the power semiconductors, these are also known as dies. These aid in supplying thermal and electrical contact and then guarantee that there is electric insulation available when needed.

Automotive Power Modules Industry Developments
January 2024: Mitsubishi Electric Corp is debuting six new power semiconductor modules of the J3-Series for various xEVs at NEPCON JAPAN 2024 — the 38th Electronics R&D, Manufacturing and Packaging Technology Expo, this week at Tokyo Big Sight.
These devices use either a silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (SiC-MOSFET) or an RC-IGBT (Si), and are designed compactly and scalable for inverter applications of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). By March 25 samples will be available for all six J3-Series products.
As power semiconductors capable of efficiently converting electricity diversify wider to respond to decarbonization, SiC power semiconductors that significantly reduce power loss have been increasing in demand.
In the xEV sector, power semiconductor modules are used widely in power conversion devices such as inverters for xEV drive motors. Therefore compact, high-power and high-efficiency modules are needed to further downsize batteries and inverters, while extending the cruising range of xEVs. However since safety standards set for xEVs are higher than those for general industrial applications driving motors require more reliable power semiconductors than general industrial drives do.
February 2024: Texas Instruments has launched two new power ICs ahead of the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) 2024 with next-generation industrial and automotive applications specifically targeted. TI aims to scale power supplies with its LMG2100/3100 GaN FETs and UCC33420-Q1 DC-DC power module.
By boosting both electrical efficiency as well as thermal efficiency of power converters through the intrinsic benefits of GaN, TI's new LMG2100/3100 GaN FETs are designed to allow for higher power density designs.
With half-bridge and single-FET configurations available in the 100V GaN power stages, voltage/current support is 80V, 35A and 90V, 97A. The associated on-resistances are low at 4.4 mΩ and 1.7mΩ, respectively, which makes it possible to significantly reduce size and power losses thanks to the volumetric power density of 1.5kW/in3.
