Historical Analysis and Future Scope of the Thermoelectric Assemblies Market
Thermoelectric assemblies surfaced as a result of the limitations encountered by industrialists with the employment of conventional compressor-based systems. Existing thermoelectric assemblies exhibit flexibility with their compact size, low weight, and reduced noise and vibration, which makes them viable in industrial applications to cater to the required reliability and performance specifications. On account of their competency, in 2018, the sales of thermoelectric assemblies registered a value of ~ US$ 3.1 Bn, and with technological leaps, the market is likely to grow at a steady pace through to 2027.
As manufacturers scramble towards adopting green technology for the generation of electric power, solar-based thermoelectric solutions are gaining prominence in industries that operate amid scarce availability of electricity. With ‘portability’ exerting its influence in the adoption of industrial equipment, manufacturers can follow suit for the production of thermoelectric assemblies. However, manufacturers’ capabilities have been put to the test in optimizing their processes to reduce operational costs, as thermoelectric assemblies are cost-prohibitive as compared to conventional cooling and refrigeration systems.
