Dublin--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/787b4d/china_igbt_industr) has announced the addition of "2010 China IGBT Industry Report" to its products.

China's IGBT market has just emerged, and IGBTs have not yet been widely used. In 2009, China's IGBT market only accounted for 7.1% of the power semiconductor discrete device market. With the prevalence of energy conservation, emission reduction and low-carbon economy in the world and China, IGBT will become the mainstream technology in the power semiconductor market because it has the advantages of high energy efficiency, easy mass production, and easy realization of intelligent energy saving. .

The scale of China's IGBT market was 3.82 billion yuan in 2009; it grew to 4.14 billion yuan in 2010, an increase of 8.4% year-on-year.

The top 10 IGBT manufacturers are all foreign-funded enterprises, occupying 40% of the market share. The market concentration is low. In the field of home appliances, the market penetration rate of China's frequency conversion home appliances is very low. The development potential of inverter home appliances is huge, especially the market penetration rate of inverter air conditioners will increase from 20% in 2010 to about 50% in 2015. The IGBT modules for inverter home appliances are mainly provided by Mitsubishi Electric, Fuji Electric and Toshiba. Infineon and Fairchild Semiconductor have approximately 80% of the IGBT market for induction cookers.

In the field of industrial inverters, the application of variable frequency motors can save energy by 20%-30%, or even more than 50%, with huge energy-saving potential. However, less than 10% of Chinese electric motors have inverters installed. In the next three years, high-voltage inverters will grow at a rate of more than 40%, while medium and low-voltage inverters will maintain a growth rate of more than 20%. IGBT is the core component of the inverter. At present, European and Japanese companies are in a leading position in the IGBT R&D and manufacturing competition, especially Infineon and Mitsubishi Electric have a combined share of about 80% in the international market.

In the field of rail transit, IGBT power modules for electric locomotives, EMUs, and urban subways achieved sales revenue of 5.9 billion yuan in 2009. It is expected that the market size will maintain a CAGR% of 26.5 from 2010 to 2013. In 2009, CNR and CSR were the big buyers of IGBT power modules in China, accounting for 48.6% and 51.4% of the shares respectively. CSR Times Electric, Siemens, Toshiba, Alstom and Bombardier are the main suppliers of IGBT power modules for electric locomotives and EMUs in China.

Chinese IGBT companies have just emerged and should make progress in IGBT production processes, including chip design, chip manufacturing, chip module packaging and single tube packaging.

There are about 20 IGBT companies in China, most of which are engaged in IGBT chip manufacturing and module packaging. Keda Semiconductor and Wuxi Phoenix Semiconductor have independent research and development technologies, mainly in the field of induction cookers. Shanghai CNR Yongdian Electronics Co., Ltd. independently developed industrial high-voltage and high-power IGBT module chips, but it is still far from chip industrialization.

Jilin Microelectronics, Tianjin Zhonghuan Semiconductor, and Shanghai Belling produce IGBT chips as OEMs for foreign companies such as Fairchild Semiconductor and Toshiba. The IGBT chips produced by Shenzhen BYD Microelectronics are mainly used in its own hybrid vehicles, and the chips are being tested. CSR Times Electric acquired IGBT module production capacity through the acquisition of British Dynex, and the products were supplied to CSR electric locomotives.

It is easy for companies to enter the field of module packaging. Through chip outsourcing, Chinese companies such as Jiangsu Changjiang Electronic Technology, Nanjing Yin Microelectronics, and Jiaxing Xingdian Semiconductor have stepped into this field. Its products are mainly used in motor control and industrial inverters.
