Thermoelectric Generator Market

Thermoelectric Generator Market Size

Thermoelectric Generator Market to surpass USD 1.6 billion by 2032 from USD 0.47 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 11.5% throughout the forecast period 2022-32

Thermoelectric generators aka Seebeck generators are the solid state devices that use the Seebeck effect to transform heat flow (temperature differential) into electrical energy (a form of thermoelectric effect). Similar in operation to heat engines, thermoelectric generators are smaller and devoid of mechanical parts. As automotive thermoelectric generators (ATGs), thermoelectric generators can be used in vehicles to improve fuel efficiency as well as in power plants to transform waste heat into additional electrical power. A thermoelectric generator turns heat energy into electricity in a relatively straightforward way. It has the ability to create an electric current that flows through a metallic surface, preventing corrosion.

Market Dynamics

Growth Drivers

High Reliability, Durability, and Eco-Friendly Nature of Thermoelectric Generators is One of the Main Attractions

The majority of power sources, including batteries and other generators, increase overall expenses since they need to be maintained. As they don't use chemical products, thermoelectric generators are not only very dependable and long-lasting but also environmentally beneficial. Since they lack mechanical components and/or moving parts, they operate quietly. They can be made from a variety of substrates, including polymers, silicon, and ceramics. Despite the possibility of mechanical or chemical degradation brought on by the creation of foreign material that impairs heat transfer, no significant degradation of TEGs has been reported. TEGs also have prolonged lifetimes, are position-independent, and may be included into bulky and flexible devices. This is gaining traction from automotive and other industries where the by-product is the heat.

Rising Adoption of Renewable Energy to Lessen Carbon Emission and Growth of Multiple Industries

The growing use of renewable energy to help combat global warming and carbon emissions is another major factor driving the global Thermoelectric Generator Market. The market will be driven by the growth of numerous end-user industries, including the automotive, aerospace, and defence sectors, where these generators are used as backup power sources. The Thermoelectric Generator Market is primarily driven by the increased commercialization of generators, the rising demand for small TEGs, and the use of decarbonization methods for the emission of greenhouse gases.

Restraint

Unstable Power Output and Operating Temperature Needs Demanding High Price

The operating temperature and needed output power have a big impact on how well thermoelectric generators work. Manufacturers are impacted since the design needs to be adjusted based on the application. The design of thermoelectric generators needs to be modified, which costs extra money, since different industries and applications have variable power output and operating temperature requirements. The commercialization of this technology faces a lot of difficulties owing to this. The efficiency of currently employed materials for thermoelectric power generation is constrained. This restrains the growth of Thermoelectric Generator Market and is anticipated to be a key inhibitor in the coming years.

Recent Developments

• In March 2021, a single-channel device called the DX4091 Z-Meter was launched, which had an interior chamber where a mounted pellet sample can be placed as a test frame. When closed or opened, the chamber's cover is magnetically locked.

• To improve the dependability of PCR cycling, Laird Thermal Systems introduced the PCX Thermoelectric Cooler Series in April 2021. It comes in the form of thermoelectric coolers, the PowerCycling PCX Series, and is employed in the analytical, medical, medical diagnostics, and DNA amplification fields.
• A thermoelectric-based solution for 48-volt lithium-ion battery thermal management was introduced by Gentherm Inc. in April 2018 for the automobile sector. The lithium-ion battery cells can be heated and cooled using this thermoelectric technology, which is completely integrated into the battery container.

Impact of Covid-19 on Thermoelectric Generator Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted practically every industry and is predicted to have long-term impacts on the market for thermoelectric modules. It is an unprecedented global public health issue. The decline in aerospace, industrial, and automotive applications is the main cause of this. Due to the pandemic, the market for consumer electronics initially experienced a decline in sales in 2020 and is still struggling in 2021. Since distant communications, medicine/vaccine storage and transit, and pharmaceutical research have been given additional priority during the pandemic, the telecommunications and medical divisions have also seen a modest decline as a result of comprehensive lockdowns. As a result, the Thermoelectric Generator Market had slower growth.
