The market for ac-dc power supplies will continue to grow, but the rate and
trajectory of that growth are being altered by numerous factors. In the near
term, growth will slow as result of the current economic downturn. However,
the impact of today' s economic troubles will vary widely from potentially
devastating to hardly noticeable, depending on the specific market segment and
product category being considered. One of the accomplishments of this current
analysis is to identify the varying intensities of these changing economic
dynamics. Critical and often subtle longer-term trends are also identified and
discussed.
Among the areas examined in this report are the technology, architecture and
packaging trends affecting the industry, as well as a thorough discussion of
new and emerging technologies and materials, potential threats and the latest
regulatory developments and standards. Over 25 tables, graphs and
illustrations are presented depicting a variety of power system schematics and
comparisons, architectural standards, product introductions, packaging
solutions, efficiency standards and other relevant information. The focus of
this comprehensive analysis provides decision makers with an insightful look
into the current and future opportunities and threats available in the
embedded ac-dc power supply market.
