Automotive power modules

Automotive power modules refer to electric components which are used for a variety of applications in electric vehicles. Power modules provide physical containment to automotive components such as traction inverters, boosts converters, and air conditioners. Power modules are composed of metal oxide semiconductor chips that help in power generation. Additionally, they assist in the conversion of low voltage DC power to high voltage AC power from the battery, which results in the removal of excess heat. Market Research Future (MRFR) has published a new report on the global automotive power module market and has indicated a positive growth trend in the market over the forecast period of 2018-2023.

The growing severity of fuel-efficiency norms and elevating concerns about the harsh impact of mechanical systems within vehicles have resulted in such systems being replaced by electrical alternatives. This has significantly driven the market for automotive power modules. Electrical components not only enable far higher degrees of efficiency but also improve operational performance.

Automotive OEMs are focused on minimizing power loss and increase power density, which leads to heightened adoption of power modules in cars. Increasing production and adoption of electric vehicles is a factor which is positively impacting the market growth. Improving charging infrastructure and growing stringency of emission standards, and spiraling demand for energy efficient battery-powered devices are other factors aiding the market growth.

Conversely, the growth of the market can be deterred by the lack of standard protocols for the development of power modules. Additionally, power modules raise the overall cost of vehicles, which restrains the growth of the market.
