Power device market in China maintained rapid growth in recent years, nearly five years, up by 27.8% compound annual growth rate the market is the development of semiconductor products in the market of products relatively quickly. But the future trends in machine manufacturing shift to China slowed the whole machine market has experienced years of rapid growth will gradually saturated, China's future power device market slowdown. From a market structure point of view, in terms of power management chip market or technology, European and American firms have absolute advantage, but in the low-end area, China and other regions already have a number of new manufacturers into a competitive one.
Power management chip is expected to grow 2 percent this year
With the increasing demand for energy-saving products, power management ICs, MOSFET power devices such as more and more applied to the whole product, but also in the machine market, increasing output and power devices in the whole product in the ever-rising proportion of dual application driven power device market in recent years China has maintained rapid growth in the past five years, the market compound growth rate of 27.8%, the market for semiconductor products, relatively fast development of products.
Divided into discrete power devices, power devices and power management IC two products. From a market share point of view, power management IC about 40%, while 60% power discrete devices, both widely used in a variety of electronic products.
Power Management IC After years of rapid growth, as inventory adjustments, consumption growth slows and prices fall, and many other factors, market development has slowed down in 2007, is expected in 2007 China Power Management IC Market growth rate will drop to about 15% in recent years, growth rates for the first time dropped to 20%. But since 2007, the market base at a lower level, and future applications will steadily increase, so China Power Management IC market is expected to return to the 2008 growth rate of 20%.
Power management chips from the type of product terms, the two most widely used product is still LDO, and DC-DC products, but two types of products in 2007 with a combination of lower prices, and slowdown of consumption in the power management chip The market share declined slightly. Meanwhile, mobile phones and other portable products due to the increased promotion, 2007, PMU and power management products in the market growth rate is relatively high, and the future of PMU, power management and hot-swappable and other products will be increased market share .
European and American firms have obvious advantages
Mainly used for computer power management chips, network communications, consumer electronics and the field of industrial control, in addition, car electronics market share although small, it is the fastest growing area. From future development, the automotive electronics will remain the fastest-growing areas, their market share will rapidly improve in the coming years. In addition, network traffic will also be driven by applications such as 3G to maintain rapid growth, its market share will steadily increase, consumer electronics, computers and industrial control in the field of development will be relatively stable.
Technologies, higher integration, higher power density, greater pressure, resistance to flow capacity and higher energy efficiency such as power management chips has been the development, updating and development of technology will also be promoted Power management chip market one of the main factors.
Pattern from the competition point of view, power management chip in terms of market or technology, European and American firms have absolute advantage, especially American companies. Although the ST, NXP and Infineon three European manufacturers are also very competitive, but the power management chip line is they are a wide range of products only, while the U.S. manufacturers have NS, TI, Fairchild, OnSemiconductor, IR, and Maxim, and many other vendors , but mostly focus on power management vendors. Power management chip market, the pattern has continued strong in Europe and America for many years, but for now, this pattern will continue in the coming years.
