DUBLIN, June 04, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jg55qp/status_of_power) has announced the addition of the "Status of Power Electronics Industry 2015" report to their offering.

The market will surpass $17B by 2020, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% for the period 2014-2020.

Last year, 2014, was a year of recovery for the power electronics market. After two tough years without seeing any growth, in 2014 the market's size increased by 8.4%, reaching $11.5B for power semiconductor devices. The outlook for the years ahead is also optimistic. Market growth will be driven by a significant increase in electric and hybrid vehicle (EV/HEV) sales, as well as the ramp-up of renewable energy and more smart-grid technology implementation.

Power modules, and more precisely IGBTs, will lead this growth. Modules are expected to reach a CAGR 2014-2020 of 10.3%, compared to 5.1% growth for discrete components. This growth in the demand of IGBT modules is due to their improved overall performance in terms of efficiency and thermal conductivity management. The new wide band gap device market will also drive growth, representing around 5% of the overall market by 2020, even though in terms of units their presence will still be limited.

This report presents data for different applications such as photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines, transmission and distribution, EV/HEV, rail traction, uninterruptible power supplies and motor drives, as well as from different value chain levels, covering wafers, devices, and inverters.
