Top Impacting Factors

The significant factors impacting the growth of the global DC-DC Converter market include the rise in the adoption of electric vehicles, the surge in the usage of DC-DC converters in railway applications, and the increase in demand for power electronics components drive the market growth. However, regulation and safety standards hamper the DC-DC Converter market growth. On the contrary, the rising adoption of 5G technology in developed countries is expected to create a lucrative DC-DC converter market.

Rise in Adoption of Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles (EVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) have been typically proposed to replace conventional vehicles shortly. The process of adoption of electric vehicles and the required infrastructure has been started over the last few years. DC-DC converters are used to interface the elements in the electric power train by boosting or cutting down the voltage levels. Further, the advancement of DC-DC converters such as lightweight, small volume, with high efficiency, low electromagnetic interference, and low current/voltage ripple has increased its demand in various applications.

In addition, the growing sensitivity of various governments toward a cleaner environment has increased the demand for zero-emission vehicles. Developed nations such as the U.S., Germany, and the UK are actively promoting the use of electric vehicles to reduce emissions, which has resulted in the growth of electric vehicle sales. The increase in adoption of electric buses, in countries such as India and China, has contributed to the growth of the electric commercial automobile industry. Other nations are expected to replace their existing fuel-based bus fleet with electric buses. The increase in market trend for the replacement of fossil fuel-based public transport vehicle fleets with electric buses will drive the demand for DC-DC converters in the automotive industry during the forecast period.

Surge in Usage of DC-DC Converter in Railway Application

DC/DC converters are used in railway environments to convert DC battery voltages to a lower voltage for usage in a variety of control and energy circuits. This is because railway rolling stock uses a DC power distribution system so that batteries can be used to maintain electrical power in the event of a generator failure. Therefore, the applications in the railway industry such as railway rolling stock, On-board and trackside applications, industrial applications, high voltage battery-powered applications, and distributed power supply architectures, among others demand the use of DC-DC converters. The railway uses DC/DC converters of specification EN 50155 to meet the harsh environmental conditions for application.
