Market Dynamics:

Driver:

The growing use of consumer appliances

Consumers are becoming more conscious about energy consumption and are actively seeking energy-efficient appliances. Intelligent Power Modules play a crucial role in optimizing energy usage in appliances by integrating advanced power electronics and control functions. These modules enable efficient power conversion and management, leading to reduced power losses and improved overall energy efficiency. The rise of home automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) has resulted in the development of smart appliances. These appliances are designed to provide enhanced functionality, convenience, and connectivity. Intelligent Power Modules are used in smart appliances to enable precise control of power delivery, motor control, and voltage regulation. Considering the factors associated to IPM that improvise the operations of consumer appliances, are expected to act as a driver for the market’s growth.

Restraint:

High initial investment

Developing and manufacturing IPMs requires significant investments in research and development (R&D). IPMs are complex semiconductor devices that integrate multiple power components, such as power switches, gate drivers, and protection circuits, into a single module. Designing and testing these modules involve substantial R&D expenditures, including prototyping, simulation, and validation. PMs are often built on proprietary technologies and developing and protecting intellectual property (IP) rights can be costly. Companies investing in IPM technology need to protect their innovations through patents, copyrights, and trade secrets, which involves legal fees and ongoing maintenance expenses. Thus, the high cost initial investment is observed to act as as major restraint for the market.

Opportunity:

Rising demand for electric vehicles worldwide

The global push towards reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to clean energy has led to a surge in the adoption of electric vehicles. As governments and consumers prioritize sustainable transportation solutions, the demand for EVs is rapidly increasing. Intelligent power modules play a crucial role in the power electronics systems of electric vehicles, enabling efficient and reliable power control and conversion. Automotive manufacturers are scaling up their production of electric vehicles to meet the growing demand and comply with stricter emission regulations. This surge in EV production creates a significant market for intelligent power modules. These modules are utilized not only in passenger cars but also in commercial electric vehicles like buses, trucks, and two-wheelers, further expanding the market opportunities.  The increasing adoption of EVs, coupled with technological advancements and infrastructure development, will drive the demand for advanced power electronics solutions in the automotive sector, benefiting the IPM market.

Challenge:

Optimization of design

Over the past two decades, as IPM has developed, one of the problems has been design optimization. A typical IGBT module's power components are made to withstand a specific level of stress from short circuits on their own, providing enough time and voltage-current SOA to properly implement external protection mechanisms in a practical application. The device is made sufficiently robust in this way but at the expense of increasing power loss characteristics and the performance of forward voltage drop. Thus, the issues with optimization of design are observed to pose as a challenge for market expansion.
