Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Intelligent Power Module Market size is expected to reach $2.5 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 8.4% CAGR during the forecast period.

Intelligent power modules (IPMs) are hybrid power devices that combine a high-speed, low-loss insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with an improved protection circuit and gate drive. IPMs use IGBT semiconductors with high tech current sensing to provide extremely effective short-circuit or over-protection. This makes it possible to keep an eye on the current going through the power device.

A bridge circuit is an electrical circuitry where two circuit branches, typically parallel, are "bridged" by a third branch connected to the first two branches somewhere in between. One of the intermediary bridging points is frequently modifiable when used in this way because the bridge was initially designed for laboratory measuring reasons. Nowadays, bridge circuits are used in a wide range of linear and non-linear processes, including filtering, power conversion, and instrumentation.

Power Devices Outlook

By power devices, the intelligent power module market is divided into insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), and others. The insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) segment registered the maximum revenue share in the intelligent power module market in 2021. The IGBT-based intelligent power module contains a control IC with an IGBT drive circuit & protection circuit to maintain high system dependability and facilitate peripheral circuit design.

Vertical Outlook

Based on vertical, the intelligent power module market is classified into consumer electronics, industrial, transportation, IT & telecom, and others. In 2021, the industrial segment witnessed the highest revenue share in the intelligent power module market. These modules are commonly employed for motor control applications, rectification procedures, invertor techniques, MOSFET (Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), and IGBT switches. Expanding industrialization and rising IPM use in various industrial applications are one of the primary drivers driving market expansion.
