Discrete semiconductors are singular devices that are constructed to perform a function similar to that of two different devices in a specific configuration. Bipolar transistors, rectifiers, insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and thyristors are some common product types. They are utilized to perform minor electronic functions, including power conversion and voltage regulation in computers, smartphones, hybrid cars, LED lighting, tablets and portable medical electronics. Discrete semiconductors are reliable, portable, and easily replaceable and offer increased operating speed and lower power consumption. As a result, they find extensive applications across the automotive, consumer electronics, and telecommunications industries.
Significant growth in the automotive industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Discrete semiconductors are widely used in vehicles enabled with mobile phone integration, independent directing guides, and heads-up displays. In line with this, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), autonomous car technology, and regenerative braking systems are favoring the market growth. Apart from this, various product innovations, such as the launch of silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs that enhance power devices for EV powertrains and increase power density, energy efficiency, and reliability, are providing a thrust to the market growth.
Additionally, the widespread product utilization to manufacture various consumer electronics, such as tablets, computers, ovens, refrigerators and portable electronics, is augmenting the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing demand for high-energy and power-efficient devices, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, growing requirement for high-energy and power-efficient devices, the launch of wireless and portable electronic products, and the rising need for green energy power generation, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
