Global power semiconductor market grew by 3.7% in 2011

Market research firm IMS Research predicts that after the global power semiconductor market grew by 3.7% in 2011, it will grow further by 5.0% to reach US$32 billion in 2012; IMS will have a relatively low growth rate for this market for the next two years. The performance was attributed to the uncertain economic conditions in the global economy and the active reduction of inventory in the supply chain. The growth rate of the global power semiconductor market in 2010 was as high as 37%. The market is not expected to recover double-digit growth until 2013.

In addition, IMS estimates that in the power semiconductor market, the growth rate of the power IC sector in 2011 will be 3% lower than that of the discrete power components at the same time, and this trend will continue until 2012, but at that time the power IC Market growth rate performance will improve slightly; while the power module market performance will continue to exceed the discrete power components and power IC market, it is estimated that in 2011 and in the next four years the growth rate will be maintained at two digits, the main force for customers on IGBT High demand for modules.

According to Ash Sharma, a senior analyst at IMS, the economic uncertainties will continue to ferment until 2012, resulting in the performance of the power semiconductor market in the first half of 2012 compared with the same period of the previous year. However, the performance of some niche applications markets will remain strong; for example, strong demand from smart phones, although slightly slowing in the fourth quarter of 2011, but it is estimated that it will continue until 2012, driving the relevant power ICs - especially It is the growth of the battery management IC market.

"Expectations from the demand for smart phone chargers will help drive growth in markets such as AC-DC regulators, switch controller chips and MOSFETs; in addition, demand for automotive applications will also be for the entire year 2011. It is very strong that more and more electronic content in the car is expected to contribute to the continuing market of the overall power semiconductor market, said Ryan Sanderson, a senior analyst at IMS.
