The global thermoelectric module market was US$ 720 million in 2021 and is estimated to witness strong growth of more than 8% during the forecast period of 2022-2028. The thermoelectric module is a semiconductor-based electronic component that functions as a small heat pump. They are also sometimes used to generate electricity by using a temperature between both sides of the module. Moreover, thermoelectric modules are also known as thermoelectric coolers and Peltier cooler. An increase in sales of consumer electronics, an increase in the demand for thermoelectric modules by various industries, and the trend of automation in the commercial industrial, and residential sectors are some of the key factors expected to propel the demand for the global thermoelectric module market during the forecast period.
Moreover, the compact design of thermoelectric modules compared to conventional systems and simultaneous heating and cooling capabilities make thermoelectric modules suitable for EVs which is also anticipated to further drive the global market in an upward direction. Thermoelectric coolers are capable of cooling or heating a system based on the polarity of the DC power applied. Therefore, the simultaneous heating and cooling ability of thermoelectric modules are utilized to produce hot and cold water for different functions.
Bulk thermoelectric modules hold a prominent share of the global thermoelectric modules market
Bulk thermoelectric modules are anticipated to hold a prominent share of the global thermoelectric modules market and are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The segmental growth of the market is attributed to the wide variety of applications and no design constraints compared to micro or thin film thermoelectric modules. These modules can be organized for different power draw and cooling capabilities based on their design. Moreover, they are also less complex to design and manufacture compared to smaller modules. Bulk thermoelectric modules are widely used to make related components such as thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and heat pumps.
