The rising adoption of electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the discrete power electronics market going forward. Electric vehicles refer to vehicles that are powered entirely or partially by electric energy stored in batteries instead of relying solely on internal combustion engines using fossil fuels. The rising adoption of electric vehicles is driven by increasing environmental concerns, as they produce lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional vehicles, enabling a transition toward cleaner and more sustainable transportation. Discrete power electronics help electric vehicles by efficiently managing and controlling the conversion of electrical energy between the battery, motor, and auxiliary systems, thereby improving overall power efficiency, driving performance, and thermal management. For instance, in January 2024, according to a report published by Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, in 2023, a record 1.2 million car buyers in the United States chose electric vehicles, which accounted for 7.6% of the entire U.S. vehicle market, up from 5.9% in 2022. Therefore, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is driving the growth of the discrete power electronics industry.Key Players In The Global Discrete Power Electronics Market
