Strategic Insights
Drivers and Opportunities in the Automotive Semiconductor Market
Shift Towards Electric and Hybrid Vehicles to Reduce Emissions
Electric and hybrid vehicles, along with solar-powered cars, are the primary alternatives to traditional gasoline engines. The adoption of these vehicles can lead to lower fuel expenses, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved urban air quality, and decreased dependence on fossil fuels. The rise of electric vehicles is expected to drive demand for new automotive integrated circuits (ICs), microprocessors, and sensors.
Environmental Concerns Fueling Electric Vehicle Development
Growing environmental concerns and the need for energy conservation have accelerated the development of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). Hybrid vehicles combine an engine, a motor, and a high-voltage battery to power the motor, meeting high power demands while offering environmental benefits. Global emission regulations have spurred advancements in automotive technology aimed at reducing harmful exhaust emissions. The introduction of EVs marks a significant move towards sustainability in the automotive industry, as these vehicles do not rely on conventional fuels and thus do not emit harmful gases. Sales of electric vehicles have surged in developed regions like North America and Europe, driven by various factors. Since these vehicles operate entirely on electricity, they heavily utilize advanced technological components.
