eFuse Market

[222 Pages Report] The global eFuse market is expected to grow from USD 538 million in 2023 to USD 703 million by 2030. Further, market is projected to reach USD 881 million by 2035, at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2030 to 2035. The industry has grown significantly as a result of the growing use of eFuses in automotive applications, such as automotive eFuse boxes, body control modules, and different electronic subassemblies like ABS cards, engine control units, and audio and security systems. When it comes to overcurrent protection, eFuses are more accurate and respond more quickly than traditional fuses. This accuracy is essential since mistakes or delays can potentially damage components and raise safety margins, which increases weight and costs. eFuses provide cost savings and efficiency gains in vehicle electronics by improving system safety and lowering the requirement for over-designed components.

eFuse market Dynamics

Driver : Growing applications of high voltage architecture in electric vehicles

In EVs, the electrical architecture refers to the network of components that manage the flow of electricity, including the battery, motor, and control systems. Traditionally, these systems operated around 400 volts DC (Direct Current). High voltage architecture, however, refers to systems operating in the range of 600-800 volts DC, and even pushing towards 1200 volts in some cases. One of the benefits of High Voltage Architecture is the faster charging times. By increasing voltage, we can reduce current for the same amount of power. This translates to faster charging times at DC fast-charging stations. With higher voltage systems, charging times can be significantly reduced, making EVs more appealing for long-distance travel. In this scenario, traditional low-voltage fuses might not be sufficient for the higher voltage environments of 800-volt or even 1200-volt EV systems. eFuses in this scenario offer several advantages over traditional fuses in these high voltage applications such as:

• Precise Control: eFuses can be electronically programmed for more precise trip currents, ensuring better protection for sensitive EV components.
• Faster Response Times: eFuses react much faster than traditional fuses, providing superior protection against transient voltage spikes or short circuits.
• Integration and Communication: eFuses can be integrated into the vehicle's electronic control systems, allowing for real-time monitoring and data collection for improved diagnostics and safety features.

Restraints: Technical Aspects involved in operating eFuse

eFuse has a few disadvantages such as having more terminals and requiring bias current to operate.

Increased Terminal Count: Unlike traditional fuses with just two terminals (input and output), eFuses, being integrated circuits, typically require at least three terminals for operation:

Input: Where the power enters the eFuse. Output: Where the power exits the eFuse to the protected circuit. Ground: Needed for proper functioning of the internal circuitry within the eFuse. In some space-constrained applications, having an extra terminal can make PCB layout routing more challenging.

Bias Current Requirement: eFuses, due to their integrated circuit nature, have internal circuitry that constantly draws a small amount of current, even when not activated. This is called bias current. While typically minimal, it's a factor to consider in applications where extremely low power consumption is critical.

Opportunity: Reduced effort in complying with safety standards

Previously, electronic equipment needed to comply with various safety standards depending on the type of equipment. This meant that equipment needed to be certified to multiple standards. Two relevant standards were IEC 60950-1, which applied to information and communication equipment, and IEC 60065, which applied to audio-visual equipment. In December 2020, a new standard, IEC 62368-1, came into effect. This new standard combines the requirements of the older standards into a single standard for both information and communication equipment and audio-visual equipment. This means that manufacturers only need to certify their equipment to one standard, reducing the certification workload. 

Challenges: Frequent replacement and disposal of industrial wastes

While industrial filters play a crucial role in safeguarding air and water quality, their frequent replacement and disposal present significant challenges. These challenges can be categorized into environmental, economic, and logistical aspects:

Frequent filter replacements lead to a substantial volume of waste, often ending up in landfills or requiring specialized disposal methods depending on the filter material and captured contaminants. This can strain waste management infrastructure and contribute to environmental pollution.

The cost of acquiring and replacing filters can be significant, especially for high-performance or specialized types. This adds to the overall operational expenses of industrial facilities and can strain budgets. The filter replacement process often involves downtime for machinery and personnel, leading to lost production and potential revenue losses
