Power Factor Correction: Global Forecasts, Application Trends & Competitive Environment. First Edition
Darnell Group, Feb 2006, Pages: 106
The 106-page, First Edition of 'Power Factor Correction: Potential Market Forecasts, Application Trends & Competitive Environment' provides a detailed examination of the trends driving the adoption and utilization of power factor correction (PFC) in a wide variety of application systems.
Power factor correction (PFC) has been implemented for some time and is highly driven by regulations. It got a boost in power supplies in 2001, when the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 61000-3-2 went into effect in Europe. This specification required new electronic equipment consuming more than 75W to meet certain standards for harmonic content, which basically required the use of PFC. Britain, Japan and China soon adopted similar standards, and any company selling equipment into these regions needed to meet these requirements. No similar requirements have gone into effect for North America, although PFC can help power supply manufacturers meet current North American energy efficiency standards.
The total worldwide market for PFC (both passive and active) is expected to be approximately 1.3 billion units in 2006, increasing to 2.2 billion units in 2011, a compound annual growth rate of 11.4%.
The Power Factor Correction study looks at three questions:
(1) How quickly will PFC get adopted?
(2) What applications are the most likely candidates for adoption?
(3) What will be the mix of active versus passive PFC?
The report provides detailed, quantitative, worldwide and regional unit forecasts for North America, Europe and Asia. These are broken down by applications that are likely to adopt PFC; the wattage categories expected to utilize active versus passive PFC; and the wattage splits for discontinous versus continuous conduction mode (DCM and CCM).
Scope
This report encompasses the following areas:
(1) Estimates for the potential worldwide market for power factor correction in units from 2006 to 2011, broken down by application, power supply product, wattage, active versus passive, and DCM versus CCM. Geographical regions include worldwide sales trends, along with trends for three regional segments: North America, Europe, and Asia.
(2) Market forecasts are given for the following application segments: Computers (Notebooks, Desktop PCs, Servers, Printers [Laser and Inkjet]); Consumer (Games, Home Theater [LCD TVs 23”, Plasma TVs, DVD Players/Recorders, Home Audio, Set-top Boxes], White Goods, Air Conditioners); Communications (Rectifiers, Data Communications); Lighting Ballasts (Compact Fluorescent Lamps, Linear Fluorescent, High-Intensity Discharge, Light-Emitting Diodes, Halogen); and Industrial (Motor Drives, Embedded AC-DC). Power supply Product forecasts include: Embedded AC-DC, External AC-DC (Adapters, Off-line Battery Chargers), Motor Drives, and Lighting Ballasts.
(3) Estimates for the potential worldwide market by Wattage and PFC in units from 2006 to 2011. Geographical regions include worldwide unit sales, along with trends for three regional segments: North America, Europe, and Asia. These include Active PFC, Passive PFC, and No PFC for the following Wattage segments: 1kW. These Wattage segments are also broken out by DCM and CCM.
(4) Discussion of economic trends, business conditions and market drivers for the power factor correction market, including worldwide economic, regulatory and business drivers; existing and emerging applications for PFC; technology drivers for active PFC; the changing mix of active versus passive PFC; and new product developments.
(5) Provides a detailed competitive analysis, including market share, competitor profiles, and recent developments in the industry.
Methodology
Primary and secondary research was conducted of both makers and end-users of power factor correction. In addition, semiconductor makers were polled to help determine industry trends and growth rates. The research was in no way limited to companies in North America, with the implicit understanding that a significant portion of the systems produced by the major OEMs are shipped outside of their region.
The detailed methodology proceeded as follows:
(1) A series of telephone, fax and e-mail interviews were conducted with a select group of vendors and PFC users/specifiers. During interviews, a checklist was used to make sure that no points were overlooked. The primary research efforts were directed to major implementers of power factor correction solutions. The use of multiple primary data sources enabled cross-validation and ensured the highest possible database quality and reliability.
(2) The primary data collected was supplemented by secondary data gathered from a variety of published sources including previous industry studies, trade journals, proceedings from related trade conferences, annual reports, 10ks, product literature, advertising, industry web pages, newspapers and periodicals, previous reports, related work performed and a variety of other sources.
