Segmental Analysis :

The Discrete Semiconductor Market is segmented into four major segments based on type, sales channel, end-user, and region.

On the basis of type, the market is further segmented into transistors, thyristors, diodes, rectifiers, and others.

  • In 2022, the transistor segment holds the largest revenue share, as transistors have faster-switching speeds, high breakdown tolerance, high electron mobility, and enhanced thermal conductivity.
  • The diode segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth, due to the ability of diodes to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by short circuits, overvoltage, and overcurrent is increasing its utilization in IT & telecommunication, automotive, and other industrial applications.

Based on the sales, the market is bifurcated into direct sales and distributor sales.

  • The distributor sales segment accounted for the largest revenue share in the year 2022, which is further divided into offline and online distribution.
  • The direct sales channel is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecasted period due to faster response time, higher product quality, competitive pricing, and higher return on investments.

Based on the end-user, the market is divided into automotive, aerospace & defense, IT & telecommunication, consumer electronics, and others.

  • The consumer electronics segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 29.52% in 2022, due to the surging demand for consumer electronic devices.
  • The automotive segment will have the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period because of the rising automotive production.

By region, the market is segregated into regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.

  • The North American region is expected to reach over USD 33.28 Billion by 2031 from a value of USD 16.27 Billion in 2022.
  • The Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow with the highest CAGR growth of 8.6% in the forecasted period as the consumer electronics sector is growing.
