When we speak of high voltage power electronics we primarily are of the devices or industries using devices that needs more than 1.7kV energy to function. A study conducted on the market of high voltage power electronics has shown a possibility of a boom in them in the near future. Leading companies have started showing interest in production of high voltage power electronics and have already started doing R&D to improve technologies. The total market value of high voltage power electronics now is $405 million. This is smaller than the present low voltage market, but the future may see a burst in the markets of high voltage.

Well, with Kyoto protocol and global warming it is a dream of every country and industry to bring down carbon emission and rely upon some other renewable energy source than the conventional ones. Many governments are encouraging companies and giving them incentives for driving them towards greener energies. These have such great effects that the IGBTs, thyristors and diodes etc are expected to function in 8 inch, wafer like platforms and an increase in use of silicon carbide, a comparatively better degradable material. As of now the companies producing SiC based components face very less competition, because of the lower production and the contracts that have been given for long time periods.

A steep increase is expected in case of high power devices and their modules from $390 million in 2009 to $570 million in 2015. This includes devices like IGBTs, thyristors and diodes. More than 65% of this would be contributed by the rail traction industry which is expected to raise its production including more inverter units per locomotive.

Another player which expects about a 11.1% increase in its turnover is the electricity transport and distribution business. HDVC transportation is expecting an exponential increase especially with ABBs input of a light HDVC architecture, the IGBTs.

When almost all industry was hit by recession of 2009, wind turbines were among those that stood against those testing times. They are growing at a very good pace and are the second strongest at present. Their market is also expecting a very good growth of 9% from 2010-2015.

Ships and vessels have shown varying trends in 2009. Military ships have shown great growth whereas the yatches for private use have declined tremendously. As a result the growth in ship and vessels market is meagre, but does give a promise of growth in future. The IGBT module market for ships and vessels is predicted reach $26 million in 2015.

Finally the ship and vessels industry, they had a very uneven growth in 2009 due to the slowdown in the sale of private passenger yatches. Their growth was only due to the military vessels. But a revival is expected in 2013 and then a boom from there on to reach $26 million by the year 2015.

Well, all these industries use high power electronic diodes or IGBTs etc and hence the market for these products has a good future, since their usage would keep increasing as and when new products with lighter versions or cost effectiveness are introduced. And of course our companies are heading their R&D in that way and soon would fill markets with handful of these.
