Intelligent Power Module Market size worth over $2.5Bn by 2026

Intelligent Power Module (IPM) Market size is set to surpass USD 2.5 billion by 2026, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

The evolution of Industry 4.0 trend and integration of IoT & AI technologies in smart factories will drive the intelligent power module market demand. Several industries are adopting automation equipment such as robotics, CNC machines, conveyor systems, etc., in their plant facilities to increase productivity and reduce human intervention. These automated machineries are integrated with motor drives, inverters, converters, & servo drives for energy efficiency and automatic stabilization of voltage & current ratings. The growing adoption of automated equipment in the industrial sector will fuel the IPM market growth.
 

Design-related complexities associated with Silicon Carbide- (SiC) based intelligent power modules are restraining the market expansion. The SiC-based IPMs have a low life cycle and are more susceptible to sudden voltage and current overshoot. In addition, SiC-based IPMs require advanced packaging and configuration that increase their cost. However, companies are innovating new IPMs with Cubic Silicon Carbide (3C-SiC), an alternative to traditional SiC material, which will overcome design complexities.
