Research and Markets: Power Electronics for Hybrid & Electric Vehicles, Volume 2 Passive Components - A +$2 Billion Market for Modules

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/540c6a/power_electronics) has announced the addition of the "Power Electronics for Hybrid & Electric Vehicles, Volume 2 Passive Components" report to their offering.

Passive Components Are Playing a More and More Active Role

A +$2 Billion Market for Modules: a Big Opportunity for Power Electronics

In 2016, almost 25 million cars manufactured will be electrified, the majority of them being micro-HEV, with a low level of electrification. However, some 5 million will be full HEV, plug-in HEV or EV.

As a consequence, electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) will represent the biggest accessible market for power device and system makers. Without getting completely mature, the EV/HEV industry has seen its first steps toward standardization. Electrical configuration shows a preference for parallel and split structures. Following the same logic, DC/DC boost converters and DC/AC inverters architecture for full HEV and EV are adopted. Getting the best switch at the lowest cost is a must. IGBT will continue having a bright future in hybrid and electric cars.

We expect the power module market to be near $5 Billion, most made with IGBT. It is huge and will change the game in power electronics market!

But there are still some uncertainties:

• What about new power semiconductor device adoption?
• Which materials will be preferred?
• What are the consequences on the rest of the powertrain? Cooling? Integration? Connectivity? Passives?
• What are the consequences on the supply chain?

Electrical Architectures Are Chosen but Supply Chain Keeps on Changing

China: Market Opportunity or Competitive Threat?

Technology Developments: Active, Passives and System Integration Passive Components Are Playing a More and More Active Role
