Since its introduction with the first transistors, the power electronics market has been driven by technology innovations, consumer needs, political choices, and environmental issues. After the two first megatrends of industrial and renewable energy sources sectors, the power electronics market of the near future will be driven by the automotive sector. The automotive, and the EV/HEV market, not only will impact the vehicles' ecosystem, but also renewable energy, energy storage, and transportation systems, data centers, radar and LiDAR systems, together with other supporting technologies. In this context, we will expect, not only an increase of the market share of IGBT power modules and stabilization of the Si MOSFETs market but in particular new design and materials of power module packaging and WBG-based devices. Moreover, the complete supply chain will be reshaped, with new players, system integrators, and OSAT entering the market of semiconductors.
