Major Challenges

• Reduction of chip size limits space on the IC and
  increases heat dissipation
• Increasing product fragmentation and the
  competition forces market consolidation
• Variable demand in end-user application markets
  calls for regular adjustments in resource
  allocation
• Lack of product innovation prevents product
  differentiation
• Trend towards lower voltages and higher currents
  hinders designing capabilities for manufacturers

3
Major Drivers

• Steady increase in automotive electronic content
  fuels growth for Power Management ICs
• Growth in communications drives demand for Power
  Management ICs
• Growing demand for PCs and cell phones in Asia
  Pacific contribute to growth in Power Management
  ICs
• Growth in portable electronic devices drives
  demand for Power Management ICs
• Surge in liquid crystal display (LCD) flat panel
  market in North America stimulates the demand for
  switching devices

Major Restraints

• Slowdown in the economy retards growth.
• Intense competition continues to drive down
  prices impacting revenues
• Slowdown in worldwide electronics market curtails
  the growth of Power Management IC market
• Market fragmentation increases competition and
  restraints revenues
• Lack of product innovation hinders revenue growth
  
• Preferability of discretes over ICs due to
  non-space constraints reduces revenues

Industry Trends

• The Power Management IC market continues to
  experience advancements in IC design and
  fabrication processes resulting in a reduction is
  size
• Highly fragmented by the technology, product
  type, application, and end-user markets.
• The trend in the Switching (AC-DC DC-DC) is
  evolving more towards integration of various
  technologies like Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
  controllers and Power Factor Correctors (PFC)
  controllers on one chip.
• Voltage Regulators and References continues to
  see a migration towards switching regulators and
  away from linear regulators
• The Application Specific Products Market has been
  mainly driven by the need to minimize size and
  cost in many wireless handsets and portable
  device applications
• The traditional domain of Motor Control ICs is
  going far beyond the traditional storage and DVD
  players where as now it is very common in gaming
  systems.
