The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in industrial power electronics usage, expansion of consumer electronics manufacturing, rising demand for reliable rectification components, increasing deployment of ac to dc conversion systems, growth of telecommunications infrastructure.

The power diode market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of electric vehicles, increasing investments in renewable energy systems, growing demand for efficient power conversion, expansion of industrial automation, rising integration of power electronics in smart grids. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of high efficiency power rectification solutions, growing demand for fast recovery and low loss power diodes, increasing use of power diodes in high voltage and high current applications, advancements in thermal management and packaging technologies, expansion of power diode integration in compact power electronics.

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to boost the growth of the power diode market. The surge in EV adoption is driven by advancements in battery technology and rising environmental concerns, leading to improved efficiency and reduced emissions. Power diodes in electric vehicles are essential for rectification in the charging system and for managing power flow in inverters and converters. For example, the International Energy Agency reported in April 2023 that over 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of 2023, marking a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2022. By the end of 2023, sales are anticipated to reach 14 million, reflecting a 35% year-on-year increase, with growth expected to accelerate in the latter half of the year. This rising adoption of electric vehicles is driving the demand for power diodes.

Leading companies in the power diode market are focusing on developing advanced compact surface-mount package solutions to improve circuit protection. Compact surface-mount package solutions are small, flat packages designed for direct mounting onto a printed circuit board (PCB). For instance, Littelfuse Inc., a US-based industrial technology manufacturer, introduced the LTKAK2-L Series High Power TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes in May 2023. These diodes come in a compact, surface-mount package compatible with automated PCB assembly processes. The modified SMTO-218 package allows designers to achieve effective circuit protection while using less PCB space compared to traditional axial-leaded solutions. With a 2 kA surge current rating, these diodes meet IEC-61000-4-5 Level 4 requirements, offering protection for high-reliability AC and DC power supplies and their applications.

In March 2024, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., a US-based manufacturer of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, acquired Nexperia’s wafer fabrication facility and operations for $177 million. This acquisition accelerates Vishay's involvement in the SiC MOSFETs and diodes market, following its acquisition of MaxPower in late 2022, which enhanced its SiC IP and technology. Nexperia, based in the Netherlands, is a semiconductor manufacturing company specializing in schottky diodes and rectifiers.
