Market Overview

A thyristor is a semiconductor device that finds its use in a wide variety of applications where electrical power needs to be controlled and switched. It has four layers of p-n-type materials with three junctions, exhibiting bistable properties or the ability to remain in either an "on" or "off" state after having been triggered into this state. Thyristors are often employed in power control applications, such as motor control, lighting dimming, voltage regulation, and AC/DC power conversion. The market for thyristors in South Korea is highly growing. This is driven by the rapid escalation in power electronics, industrial automation, and renewable energy systems. The rapid growth in electric vehicles and energy storage systems creates greater opportunities for the integration of thyristors in power conversion and voltage regulation applications. The adoption of smart grid technologies along with the demand for efficient power management solutions from various industries is contributing to market growth. Support from the government in the form of infrastructure development to be built through renewable energy sources and the promotion of energy-efficient technologies has further driven the market. Advances in South Korea include the development of thyristor technology, which offers higher power ratings, faster switching times, and greater reliability.
