Power MOSFET Market Outlook - 2027
The global power MOSFET market size was valued at $5.43 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $9.90 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 6.6% from 2020 to 2027.
MOSFET is an acronym for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. It is a power semiconductor that is used as an electronic switch device to control the loads as per requirement. Apart from being a cost-effective solution to replace bipolar junction transistors (BJT), it also enables power management to enhance energy conservation in various applications such as industrial systems, consumer electronics, and electric vehicles. At present, it is used in renewable resources and electric vehicles to improve switching speed, prevent power loss, and amplify electronic signals in electric devices.
Power MOSFET holds tremendous potential shortly as it is deployed in numerous electric devices. In the coming years, the market is expected to generate moderate cash output with modest investments in development, research, and tests. However, the power MOSFET market is nearing the maturing stage and is expected to generate modest revenue for key players in the coming years. The industrial segment and the medium power MOSFET segment have tremendous growth potential during the forecast period. Although the market is in its growing phase, these systems are expected to generate notable revenue compared to other types of power MOSFETs.
Power MOSFET is a cost-effective electronic switch device, which has replaced bipolar junction transistor. Power MOSFET is increasingly used in electric vehicles to improve switching speed, prevent power loss, and amplify electronic signals in technologies. Industry verticals, such as automotive and industrial, are the leading sectors with the highest demand. Attributed to the growing demand for enhanced technologies, such as smart speakers, smart homes, and other electrical devices, over the years coupled with a few wafer production lines available globally, it is expected to affect the power MOSFET supply significantly. In addition, trade disputes between the U.S. and other countries with China along with the coronavirus outbreak globally have impacted the chip and equipment market globally.
However, due to the increase in demand for electric and hybrid electric vehicles globally, the power MOSFET market is expected to offer lucrative opportunities. The usage of power MOSFET in electric and hybrid electric vehicles promotes energy efficiency and better switching frequency, further propelling its market growth.
According to power MOSFET market forecast, in June 2020, ROHM Semiconductor, a leading semiconductor manufacturing firm, launched the 4th generation 1,200V SiC MOSFET, specially designed for automotive powertrain systems. In addition, the device can also be used for industrial equipment. The increase in demand for electric vehicles is generating the need for smaller and more efficient electric systems. Therefore, ROHM Semiconductors and some other leading semiconductor manufacturers are strengthening their market presence through their competitive product portfolio.
Factors, such as increased dependence on electrical equipment & machinery and increasing emphasis on power saving, are the major drivers significantly affecting the market growth. However, limitations in operations and the high cost of power MOSFET have a significant negative impact on the market growth. Furthermore, technological advancements in power MOSFET are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth globally.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Power MOSFET Market:
The COVID-19 crisis is creating uncertainty in the stock market due to an immense slowdown in the supply chain of various businesses, falling business confidence, and increasing panic among the customer segments. The overall impact of the pandemic is impacting the production process of several industries, including semiconductors, electronics, and many more. Trade barriers are further constraining the demand and supply outlook. As the governments of different countries have already declared total lockdown and temporary shutdown of industries, the overall production process has been adversely affected.
COVID-19 is having a large impact on both consumers and the economy. Electronics manufacturing hubs have been temporarily shut down to limit the COVID-19 spread among individuals. This has majorly affected the supply chain of the semiconductor market by creating shortages of materials, components, and finished goods. Lack of business continuity has ensured significant negative impacts on shareholder returns and revenue, which are expected to create financial disruptions in the power MOSFET industry.
By Type
Depletion Mode Power MOSFET segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
To stimulate the local economy, several governments have already announced subsidies and incentives, which vary by region. For instance, China declared extended state subsidies and tax breaks for consumers purchasing new electric vehicles. In addition, the U.S. has reduced fuel-efficiency standards for automakers. Semiconductor companies are expected to track such regional variation, as it may affect the demand patterns of consumers and anticipate government evolution.
However, the COVID-19 crisis is expected to accelerate automation and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies. Remote manufacturing, diagnostics, and maintenance could all become permanent features. If that occurs, semiconductor companies might become smart workspaces, with technologies that facilitate remote work for most of the employees. The companies are also expected to adopt and encourage a hybrid model in their manufacturing processes in which a certain number of employees work remotely and the rest remain on site. The efficiencies gained through such changes as well as their start-up costs could influence future semiconductor revenues.
By Power Rate
Medium power segment is projected as one of the most lucrative segments.
Top Impacting Factors
Factors affecting the growth of the global power MOSFET market include increased dependence on electrical equipment & machinery and increasing emphasis on power saving.
