Semiconductor Rectifiers Market Outlook – 2027
The global semiconductor rectifiers market size was valued at $3.22 billion in 2019, and is expected to reach $7.72 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2020 to 2027. A rectifier is a two-lead semiconductor that enables current to pass in only one direction. It is an electrical component that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It is used inside the power supplies of nearly all electronic equipment. Also, in power supplies, the semiconductor rectifier is normally placed in series following the transformer, a smoothing filter, and possibly a voltage regulator. It is typically used as a polarity guard for electronic circuits, which eliminates the hazards of an accidental reversal of supply voltage.
Surge in penetration of smart grids across the developing countries and rise in government spending on modern power distribution and generation infrastructure in developing nations are the major factors that drive the growth of the semiconductor rectifiers market. In addition, rise in number of telecommunication services and consumer electronic devices fuels the market growth. However, technical issues and high costs associated with semiconductor rectifiers may hinder the market growth to some extent.
On the contrary, rise in demand for rectifier diode in various applications in the automotive and power sector is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the semiconductor rectifiers market growth. In addition, the miniaturization of electronic components is expected to be opportunistic for growth of the semiconductor rectifiers market during the forecast period.
The global semiconductor rectifiers market trends has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The production facilities of the electronics and semiconductors have been halted, owing to the slowdown and unavailability of the workforce across the globe. COVID-19 outbreak has caused a significant and protracted drop in manufacturing utilization, and travel bans & facility closures kept workers out of their factories, which may lead to slowdown in the growth of the semiconductor rectifiers market in 2020.
However, the negative impact of COVID-19 on the semiconductor rectifiers market is expected to be there for a short period of time, and by early 2021 the market is anticipated to observe robust recovery rate due to the extensive demand for installation of IoT devices across the numerous industries and rapidly growing initiatives for smart cities and smart grid technologies.
Also, COVID-19 has pushed the semiconductor companies to adopt decisive strategies to secure supply chains, protect employees, and address other pressing concerns. Although many governments are still imposing physical-distancing requirement; hence, the leading semiconductor rectifiers companies such as ABB, Infineon Technologies AG, Mitsubishi Electric Corp., and Texas Instruments Inc. are adopting strategies for reimagining and reforming their business models.
For instance, ABB is working with customers to ensure the access to service engineers and field operators who cannot be on-site during the pandemic, by delivering control room livestreams, process data, operational insights, and plant key performance indicators to users sheltering at home.
