Thermoelectric Modules Market Research, 2031

The Global Thermoelectric Modules Market was valued at $615.2 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2022 to 2031.

Thermoelectric (TE) modules, also known as thermoelectric coolers or peltier coolers, are semiconductor-based electronic components that act as miniature heat pumps to transport heat from one side of the device to the other. Peltier thermoelectric coolers are used to generate electricity by utilizing the temperature difference between the two sides of the module. For example, in March 2021, Yamaha Corporation developed a thermoelectric power production module using automotive exhaust gas heat energy to generate power. 

Thermoelectric Peltier modules provide improved thermal insulation of vital electronics to ensure optimal performance while addressing thermal issues in vehicle heads-up displays (HUDs) and infotainment systems. The complexity of operations of these newly developed intelligent autonomous systems is rising while their size and weight are reducing, which amplifies the heat flux density and thermal issues in autonomous electronics. The thermoelectric technology helps operate each sensitive device within its temperature range and optimizes its performance.
