Abstract
A comprehensive assessment of the diverse and dynamic power IC market, compiled following more than 40 hours of detailed industry interviews.
- Double-digit growth is forecast for the next 5 years, despite a temporary
slow down seen in 2007.
- Five-year CAGRs range from less than 5% to nearly 30% for the products
analysed.
- Switching products continue to capture more share of the market from
linear products, with ongoing moves to DPA and IBA driving this.
- Notebooks are projected to be one of the fastest growing sectors of the
power IC market.
- Switching regulators will further encroach on the controller market,
although only in certain applications. Integrated power stages will also
continue to compete here.
- Digital power ICs are predicted to see strong growth, as are ' new' markets
such as PoE and PFC ICs.
