Report Description
The global thermoelectric modules market size was valued at around USD 539.50 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 1.06 Billion by 2031 , expanding at a CAGR of around 7.9% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the high demand for alternative energy technologies.
A thermoelectric module, also known as a Peltier module, is referred to as a thermal control module, which has both heating and cooling effects. This module uses the Peltier effect, where an electric current passes through a circuit to generate heat at one junction to be absorbed in another junction, to create a heat flux between two different types of materials. The current passing through the module can change the surface temperature and keep the surface at the expected temperature. Thermoelectric modules are used in various applications for different industries. Typical applications for thermoelectric modules include black box cooling, cold plates, dehumidifiers, ice point references, infrared detectors, low noise amplifiers, wine cabinets, thermal viewers, night vision equipment, and others. Thermoelectric modules offer numerous benefits in comparison to traditional cooling methods. Some of the benefits of thermoelectric modules include low maintenance, longevity, no refringent emission, being environmentally friendly, controllable, extreme environment compatibility, and others.
The COVID-19 pandemic situation affected the global thermoelectric modules market negatively. Several industries such as automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, and others witnessed a decline in sales and revenue. The lockdown, travel ban, social distancing, and other restrictions during the pandemic resulted in a decrease in thermoelectric module applications. The global thermoelectric modules market witnessed around 7% decline in 2021 in comparison with 2019.
