Industrial analog IC market
30 November 2005
News
Industrial semiconductors generated $20 bn in global revenue for 2004. The largest industrial semiconductor segment was industrial controls, with an estimated 32% share of the market. This is according to Databeans' latest 2005 Industrial Analog ICs report. Other segments within the industrial semiconductor market were: test and measurement (23%), military/aerospace (11%), and medical (10%). Other products constituted about 24% of the market.
Analog ICs constitute the largest market share of industrial semiconductors, at 18% of the market, and demand is especially strong now for analog power and special-purpose components. The industrial analog IC market was valued at $3,4 bn for 2004.
Industrial controls and T&M represent the largest opportunities for ASIC/ASSP industrial analog suppliers, with a combined estimated market value of over $1 bn for 2005. And, although it is relatively small, the medical segment is where most of the growth is taking place, says Databeans. This is due to the increased demand for home medical electronics and rapidly evolving medical technology. More high performance analog suppliers are focused on this space, bringing to market scores of new products optimised for such high end applications as medical imaging, patient monitoring, and implantable devices, it says.
