Abstract
The latest edition from IMS Research compliments a history of providing
in-depth market reports and statistical tracking services on the power supply,
power adapters, UPS and metering markets.
This 2006 edition provides an updated and unbiased global perspective of the
merchant power supply market with a 2005 base year and revised forecasts to
2011. This edition was compiled following several months of industry
consultation, including interviews and questionnaires, to provide a
comprehensive assessment of the global market.
This report provides market size estimates for 2005 with growth forecasts to
2011 for all market segmentations.
Both AC-DC and DC-DC merchant markets analysed in terms dollar revenues by
product type, power rating (revenues & units), application sector, by
geographic region, and also by semiconductor usage.
Further new analyses presented for 'digital power' for both AC-DC & DC-DC
markets for 'full digital' and 'hybrid digital' products, analysis and
commentary is provided for other segmentations such as POLA vs. DOSA, multi
vs. single output and point of load products.
Market shares of the leading suppliers to the AC/DC and DC/DC markets as well
as market share analysis by application sector are also provided. Additional
analysis of the global power systems market is presented including analysis of
associated power supplies.
The power supply market was estimated to have been worth in excess of $13.6
billion in 2005 and is forecast to achieve modest growth levels between 2006
and 2011, other findings include:
- Pockets of high-growth identified for both AC/DC and DC/DC markets despite
stagnant key application sectors.
- Power MOSFETs and controller ICs forecast for strong growth between 2006
and 2011.
- Market for digitally-controlled DC/DC converters not forecast to exceed
$100 million until 2010.
