According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Semiconductor Coolers Market is accounted for $3.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $5.6 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Semiconductor coolers, often referred to as Peltier coolers, thermoelectric coolers, or thermoelectric modules, are used to remove heat generated when direct current (DC) voltage is applied to semiconductors. When a voltage is applied, the cooler transfers heat from one area to another, cooling the first area while heating the second. Without the heat sink that goes along with these semiconductor coolers, the semiconductor module itself could malfunction.
According to the Energy Consumption of Data Centers in China, the current numbers of small- and medium-sized data centers in China exceeded 400,000, and the annual total power demand reached 100 billion kWh, i.e., around 250,000 kWh for each data center, annually.
The consumer electronics industry has seen significant change. LED and smart TVs are replacing Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) TVs, while electronic home equipment like washing machines and air conditioners are becoming totally autonomous. Manufacturers are continually working to introduce better consumer items with increased features in light of these improved inventions and the market thirst for better electronics. In the anticipated years, these variables will raise the demand for semiconductor coolers.
Manufacturers of electronic components regulate the temperature of those components during the manufacturing process using conventional compressor-based methods. Traditional coolers and semiconductor coolers, however, are ineffective for high-power applications. Therefore, a huge number of semiconductor device makers are implementing liquid cooling technology due to an increase in the demand for high heat dissipation. This makes use of microchannel cold plates, which spread coolant liquids over the semiconductor chip's surface. Therefore, during the projected period, the growth of the market under consideration may be severely impacted by such product offers.
Engine development has been continuously influenced by the ongoing pursuit for lower fuel consumption and lower exhaust emissions. In particular, the tendency of shrinking engines while maintaining high performance has resulted in a steadily rising specific component load. Thus, charge air coolers are becoming more and more necessary for the development of high-performance engines, which has increased demand for them. Automobiles with high-performance engines meet emission limits and have excellent speed and power.
Reducing the buildup of condensed water in intercoolers had been a challenge for charge air cooler manufacturers. When a significant amount of water has aspired, this can cause the engine to malfunction. The same intercooler body is frequently used in many cars by automakers to reduce costs and simplify the manufacturing process. As a result, overcooling of the intercooler occurs in smaller engines due to the proper dimensioning of an intercooler for greater displacement engines at high power regimes. When the engine runs at high revs, condensation can form in the intercooler even in the same car model at low power.
Vehicle production has decreased as a result of COVID-19, and this decrease is closely correlated with the overall automotive charge air cooler market reduction. In contrast, it is anticipated that the pandemic effect will aid the gasoline segment in growing over diesel because diesel engines are expensive and the introduction of new emission rules further drives up their price, particularly in light-duty cars. As a result, a movement in favor of GDI or gasoline engines may be seen. As a result, the market for automobile charge air coolers will have a higher chance of expanding.
The single stage segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. A single active cooling stage is all that is used in a single-stage semiconductor cooler to manage thermal performance. In order to cool the semiconductors in an electronic system, normally only one compressor, one condenser, and one evaporator are used. The most typical applications for single-stage semiconductor coolers are those where power and space are limited and where a multi-stage system's size and complexity are unworkable.
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the effective cooling offered by these coolers, the front and rear seats of the car can each be separately chilled to the occupant's desire. Each passenger in the car receives personalized comfort as a result. Moreover, the need for semiconductor coolers is anticipated to increase in the upcoming years due to the growing trend of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Batteries for hybrid electric vehicles require efficient cooling techniques that maintain temperature during operation. Given any external state or environment, semiconductor coolers provide maximum cooling that regulates the battery temperature and gives maximum performance.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the high production and demand for passenger cars, as well as international emission standards. The market for automotive charge air coolers in Asia and the Pacific has benefited from the rise of fuel-efficient vehicles. Leading charge air cooler producers including Hanon Systems, T.RAD Co. Ltd., Marelli, and Denso Corporation are also present in the region, which presents chances for the industry there to expand. These businesses have been growing and establishing themselves in the area.
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the existence of numerous local semiconductor cooler manufacturers and the increased demand for consumer electronics in the area. The region's rising manufacturing base and faster growth of industrial automation are both contributing to the market's expansion. Rising technical user bases, and growing consumer demand for electronic devices and gadgets are the factors influencing the region growth.

In April 2021, Ferrotec (USA) Corporation announced that Metamaterial Inc, has collaborated with Ferrotec to validate aspects of their NanoWeb® production methodology using Temescal systems. Ferrotec's Temescal systems group was able to validate Metamaterial's process methodology and provide them with a technology solution path from cost-effective entry to high volume thin film production.
In March 2021, Hanon Systems announced that it had begun the construction of its fifth plant in Korea. The new plant, located in Naengcheon-ri, Oedong-eup, Gyeongju-si, will be built on a site that offers approximately 33,000 square meters of land. Construction of the Gyeongju facility is expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2021 with production expected to begin in the third quarter.
