A Solid-state current controlling device divided into four layers is called a Silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) or semiconductor controlled rectifier. Silicon-controlled rectifier is a unidirectional power switch used in switching between alternative current (AC) and direct current (DC). It is mainly used for rectifying DC signals in controlled AC output and vice versa.
Silicon-controlled rectifiers have multitude of applications including motor controls, pressure control regulators, light dimmers, liquid level regulators and electronic automotive ignition. From end use perspective, applications of SCR are found in industries such as semiconductor and consumer electronics, power transmission, clean energy, aerospace and defense, automotive, medical and oil and gas among others. Rise in applications of SCR in these industries is driving the growth of the market across different countries in the world.
Increasing penetration of smart grids in developing countries, along with the substitution of aging power infrastructure in developed regions have conjointly created growth opportunity for SCR market. An increase in urbanization accompanied with rising governmental spending on modern power generation, distribution and transmission network in developing countries is estimated to positively impact the growth of SCR market during the forecast period.
