Analog power ICs constitute a large and fast-growing segment of power management product; and these components are expected to be in very high demand over the next five years, with increased consumption coming from communications and consumer markets especially. Higher consuming applications for analog power management would include PCs, including notebooks and desktops, cell phones, and mobile consumer devices like digital cameras, gaming devices, and Mp3 players. This market is currently booming due to the high growth seen in portables, including cell phones and notebook computers mostly.  All together, analog power ICs constitute about 38 percent of the overall $19 billion power management market. This share has risen steadily over the last decade. In 1995, the share of analog power revenue in comparison to the larger market was less than 20 percent. Databeans new market study on Analog Power ICs predicts this market to reach $7.3 billion for 2006, and this would represent a 25 percent increase over last year. Expect more growth next year, as 2007 will see new consumer electronics and notebook computers that will raise demand. This report provides readers with a complete market picture for analog power products with revenue and unit shipments for total analog power, general purpose linear regulators, LDO regulators, switching regulators, hot swap circuits, charge control ICs, fuel gauges, supervisors, digital power, and voltage references..  The forecasts are broken out by region, consumption market, and by product class.  Supplier market share is presented for each product category and by region.
