Major Challenges
• Reduction of chip size limits space on the IC and increases
heat dissipation
• Increasing product fragmentation and the competition
forces market consolidation
• Variable demand in end-user application markets calls for
regular adjustments in resource allocation
• Lack of product innovation prevents product differentiation
• Trend towards lower voltages and higher currents hinders
designing capabilities for manufacturers
Major Drivers
• Steady increase in automotive electronic content fuels
growth for Power Management ICs
• Growth in communications drives demand for Power
Management ICs
• Growing demand for PCs and cell phones in Asia Pacific
contribute to growth in Power Management ICs
• Growth in portable electronic devices drives demand for
Power Management ICs
• Surge in liquid crystal display (LCD) flat panel market in
North America stimulates the demand for switching devices
Major Restraints
• Slowdown in the economy retards growth.
• Intense competition continues to drive down prices impacting
revenues
• Slowdown in worldwide electronics market curtails the growth
of Power Management IC market
• Market fragmentation increases competition and restraints
revenues
• Lack of product innovation hinders revenue growth
• Preferability of discretes over ICs due to non-space
constraints reduces revenues
Industry Trends
•
The Power Management IC market continues to experience
advancements in IC design and fabrication processes resulting in a
reduction is size
•
Highly fragmented by the technology, product type, application, and
end-user markets.
•
The trend in the Switching (AC-DC & DC-DC) is evolving more
towards integration of various technologies like Switch Mode Power
Supply (SMPS) controllers and Power Factor Correctors (PFC)
controllers on one chip.
•
Voltage Regulators and References continues to see a migration
towards switching regulators and away from linear regulators
•
The Application Specific Products Market has been mainly driven by
the need to minimize size and cost in many wireless handsets and
portable device applications
•
The traditional domain of Motor Control ICs is going far beyond the
traditional storage and DVD players where as now it is very common
in gaming systems.
