1.1 Power diodes-  Power diodes are essential components in various electrical systems, primarily used for voltage clamping and as rectifiers, voltage multipliers, and freewheeling diodes. These diodes handle high power but operate at lower frequencies. The power diode segment dominates the global discrete diode market due to its extensive usage. Three main types of power diodes exist: Schottky diodes, fast recovery diodes, and general-purpose diodes. Schottky diodes are widely used in applications requiring sensitivity and efficiency due to their low heat generation. They are employed in standalone photovoltaic systems to prevent battery discharge at night and in grid-connected systems. Schottky diodes also serve as rectifiers in power supplies. The expanding demand for power supplies in domestic and industrial applications worldwide fuels the growth of the Schottky diodes market, contributing significantly to the power diodes segment of the global discrete diode market during the forecast period. General-purpose diodes are suitable for low-frequency applications (up to 1 kHz) and low-speed applications (up to 1-kHz), while fast recovery diodes are ideal for high-speed switching applications due to their short reverse recovery times (less than 5us). Power diodes’ versatility and wide application scope drive the market’s growth.
