Market Overview
Expanding Applications of Power Semiconductors Sparks Market
Growth
The introduction of several types of power semiconductor devices
to control output parameters such as voltage, current, or frequency
over the last few decades have seen the role of these devices expand.
They have become the most broadly used components in the semiconductor
industry and their applications have extended to a variety of
electronic applications, consumer electronics, communications,
networking and storage equipment, industrial power supply as well as
instrumentation equipment, and automotives. Among power discretes and
ICs, the MOSFET segment is likely to expand steadily in the next four
years. IGBTs have also been making waves - particularly in the
automotive industry - over the last three to four years and are likely
to maintain this good form in the future.
The growth of the IGBT and MOSFET segments has put BJTs in the
shade, mainly because of the lack of technology innovation in this
segment. However, the overall market stands to gain from the declining
prices brought about by improvements in technology, more efficient
manufacturing, commoditization, and increasing manufacturing capacity.
Most of the revenue growth is expected to stem from DC-DC switching
regulators and switching controllers. "Meanwhile, power management IC
makers are engaging in partnerships with OEMs to develop
next-generation power solutions," says the analyst of this research.
"Close partnerships among different parties along the value chain has
become common due to the need to achieve higher system performance and
manage costs."
Discrete Power Devices Experience High Demand and Account for the
Majority of Market Revenue
Discrete power semiconductors have found the going good in the
Asia Pacific, especially in China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Southeast
Asia, where the sales revenue has been increasing year-on-year. To
maintain this advantage, discrete power semiconductor suppliers should
offer a richer mix of integrated propriety products. With applications
increasingly converging and getting smaller while simultaneously
offering higher performance and efficiency, suppliers are compelled to
innovate and design products that provide complete power control and
conversion solutions. The major application segments in Southeast Asia
are wired/wireless communications and automotive, which demand
discrete power semiconductors with smaller footprint, improved
efficiency, and better integration.
"Power semiconductor suppliers continue to introduce products by
enhancing their process technology and packaging needs to suit the
needs of popular power supply applications," notes the analyst. "The
recent power devices introduced by the leading power semiconductor
suppliers deliver low conduction and switching losses and also allow
operation at higher-than-normal switching frequencies." There is also
greater demand for higher performance MOSFETs due to the use of
point-of-load converters and voltage regulators modules in computing
and fixed telecom applications. Consumers are increasingly demanding
products with multi-layered functions. To stay ahead of the
competition in such a scenario, market participants will have to
invest substantially in R&D. By developing new technologies and
improving existing ones, they can make better performing MOSFETs
available at lower costs.
