World Discrete Power Semiconductor Markets
Frost & Sullivan, November 2003
Expanding Asian Market Presents Growth Opportunities
Asia is rapidly emerging as the most attractive market for discrete power semiconductors, with increasing demand promising high growth in revenue. Consumer purchasing power in Asia is on the upswing, boosting sales of portable and consumer electronics. A growing breed of consumers demanding superior functionalities in wireless communication devices and automobiles is creating a pressing need for semiconductor manufacturers to expand their product portfolios. There is also an increasing trend of manufacturers shifting base to Asia, which offers key advantages by way of low production, labor, and installation costs.
This research examines the world discrete power semiconductor market and its five segments: metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), bipolar transistors, thyristors, and rectifiers. The research presents an extensive segment-wise analysis of the latest market and technological trends, drivers, and restraints on the basis of end-user markets such as automobiles, consumer electronics, and communications.
Rediscovering IGBTs: Power Transistors with Potential
Insulated-gate bipolar transistors have greatly benefited from a series of improvements in manufacturing processes and efficiency over the past two decades. As they continue to be the focus of sustained development, enhanced performance features help in broadening their application range. The combined effects of a wider application range and low prices have aided these power transistors in capturing and maintaining greater market share.
Rediscovering IGBTs and improved IGBT deployments would give an opportunity to manufacturers to increase competition among power transistors, says the analyst. Encouraging levels of investment in them are ensuring cost-effective, high-performance IGBTs that are achieving a stronger presence in applications such as switch mode power supply.
New Products and Technologies the Need of the Hour
Successful manufacturers are those that are innovative and capable of providing improved and efficient devices. The market abounds with inventive and complex designs as well as state-of-the-art wafer fabrication processes, contributing to a higher price-performance ratio. Manufacturers are also working on paring down outsourcing costs, focusing instead on insourcing. These improvements are a clear indication of the growing demands of emerging systems. In addition to rising consumer demand, cutthroat competition has instigated designers to flood the market with distinct, one-of-a-kind technologies, notes the analyst.
