Power Management Consumption in China to Reach $13.8 Billion in Revenue by 2015
However, 2012 will be flat for the market
January 27, 2012

The push for greener technology, new consumer electronic devices, higher incomes and new applications is helping to push Chinese power management device consumption to record levels in the coming years with compound annual growth rate (CAGR) expected to be 7.7 percent from 2010 through 2015, accord- ing to a new IHS iSuppli China Research report from information and analysis provider IHS.
This year, however, power management consumption is projected to remain relatively flat compared to 2011 levels because of weak worldwide demand and the lower investment that occurred in the second half of last year. The market will return to rapid growth in 2013, increasing to $13.8 billion in revenue by 2015, up from $9.5 billion in 2010.



A number of forces are driving this growth. First, the global market, including China, will witness the proliferation of new standards or requirements for electronic devices as the adoption of green en- ergy and higher-power-efficiency solutions takes place on a large scale. Second, rising household Chinese incomes will stimulate new purchases and upgrades of electronic products. Overall, IHS iSuppli believes these new applications, such as green energy, media tablets and medical electronic devices, will contribute to continued market expansion.
Big Markets
Power management includes devices ranging from voltage regulators with a reference voltage (VREF), as well as power management interfaces, power application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC)/ application-specific standard products (ASSP) and power discrete devices. In 2011, the largest device mar- ket consisted of power transistors and thyristors with $3.8 billion in revenue. The second largest device market involved VREFs, including linear regulators and voltage switching regulators, with total consump- tion expected to reach $3.3 billion.
For the following years, voltage regulators are forecast to have the fastest growth, reaching $2.4 billion in 2015 with an 8.6 percent CAGR. This will be followed by linear regulators, power diodes and power transistors/thyristors.

In terms of sales, the largest market segment will be for power transistors/thyristors with $5.2 billion in revenue by 2015. The next largest segment will be switching regulators with revenue of $2.4 billion.
Data Processing and Consumer Desire the Most Power
Among end-user segments, data processing was the largest market segment in China last year, fol- lowed by electronic consumer and communications equipment. Both sectors will maintain their leading positions in the following years, IHS believes.
Meanwhile, growth will be fastest in the automotive sector with an 11 percent CAGR between 2011 and 2015, by which time revenue will reach $946 million. The second highest growth market will be the industrial space with a 10.8 percent CAGR for the same five-year period.
