Market Overview

A thermoelectric module is a type of semiconductor electronic component, popularly known for its small size to use as a cooler or mini heat pump for heat transfer from one side of a component to the other. It is also commonly termed a Peltier cooler or thermoelectric cooler. Thermoelectric coolers have various wide-ranging applications, like the IT and telecommunications fields, space and defense fields, healthcare devices, and consumer electronics. The thermoelectric module is used for protecting electronic equipment such as computer processors, robotic equipment, food & beverage containers, and cold-water dispensers in case of severe and hot environments. In addition to cooling and heating functions, the thermoelectric cooler has numerous applications in direct energy production and waste heat recovery due to its simultaneous heating and cooling characteristics. A general standard TEM configuration will be usually preferred for the majority of applications but shall be customized and designed based on specific heat pumping, mechanical, electrical, and design requirements in a particular case. There will be favorable conditions through alternative energy generation technology. Moreover, an upsurge in the consumption rate of wearable device coolers for smart devices is poised to fuel the growth prospects of the market.

Driving Factors

TEMs are employed to create a temperature difference by transferring heat between two electrical junctions using the Peltier effect. They can be used for cooling and heating devices, but in most applications, they are used for cooling devices. Thermoelectric coolers can cool down or warm up a system according to the polarity of the applied DC power. So, the simultaneous heating and cooling nature of TEMs is utilized for the preparation of hot and cold water, which are used for different purposes.

Restraining Factors

One of the main reasons why TEMs are so costly is due to the price of tellurium and germanium. Estimating the manufacturing cost of TEMs is also highly difficult because the materials and processes are very different.
