Abstract
Introduction
IMS Research publishes numerous studies on power related markets, including
core research areas such as switch-mode power supplies, AC power adapters,
power discretes and modules and power management and driver ICs. However, such
studies are horizontal market focused and this Power Electronics Yearbook
addresses the need to examine in more detail the underlying end-user equipment
or vertical market trends that drive demand for these different types of power
products.
This report collates data from each of IMS Research' s 12 individual market
focused study groups, providing accurate and detailed information on each of
the seven segments covered.
This report provides analysis of over 58 of the major applications for power
electronics across seven market sectors. The report is highly statistical and
contains 45 tables.
- Revenue and shipment data for all key equipment using power components
from IMS Research' s primary research groups
- Forecasts for merchant power supplies, power discretes & power ICs and
power semiconductor modules within each application sector
- An excellent reference guide for all suppliers of power electronics
providing data on all key markets
- The opportunity for power supply and power semiconductor vendors was
estimated at over $35 billion in 2008 and is forecast to grow to nearly $45
billion in 2013.
- Industrial equipment was estimated to have provided the largest power
electronics opportunity in 2008 and is forecast for continued growth.
- Renewable energy and hybrid vehicles will provide the highest growth
opportunity for power electronics.
