Top analog companies maintain status quo

16 April 2008 News

The overall 2007 analog market showed little change from 2006. Total revenues were nearly identical to the previous year and the top 10 suppliers in 2007 were the same as in 2006. Texas Instruments retained its lead in market share, followed by STMicroelectronics and Infineon Technologies, both of whom showed substantial year on year growth. Also showing growth were Analog Devices, Maxim Integrated Products and Renesas Technology.

Worldwide analog revenue is expected to increase to just over $40 billion in 2008 and grow to over $69 billion in 2013 for a five-year compound annual growth rate of 11%. This growth should be fuelled by continued demand for wireless products as well as healthy revenue growth for analog power products. Together these segments account for over 40% of the entire 2007 analog market.

NXP remains the market leader within the analog wireless segment, but it is facing increasing competition from STMicroelectronics and Infineon who both saw a growth in wireless market share.

Among standard linear products, data converters and amplifiers experienced the highest growth at 18% and 11%, respectively. Application-specific analog products lost 6% overall from 2006; however, the application-specific automotive segment had a very strong year, seeing revenues grow 21% from $3,6 billion to $4,4 billion. Despite losses in revenue from 2006 to 2007, the consumer and computer segments are still strong contributors to the overall analog market with a combined market share of over 18%.

The overall outlook for the analog market is positive as electronics continue to have high demand for both application-specific analog products and standard linear products. A large expected increase in total analog shipments will more than offset the expected decrease in average selling price of application-specific products, resulting in revenue growth for the entire analog segment.
