Infineon retains top power semi ranking
1 October 2008
News
IMS Research’s 2008 Power Semiconductor Discretes & Modules study has revealed that Infineon remained market leader for the fifth consecutive year and in fact recorded the largest increase in market share of all suppliers in 2007. Infineon now commands a 9,7% share of the $13,6 billion market which is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 8% to 9% over the next five years.
Report co-author Josh Flood commented “Infineon grew its power discretes and modules business by over 20% in 2007, outpacing the market, which grew at just under 10%, and retained its position as the largest supplier to the market.”
The study found that the top 10 suppliers to the power semiconductors market experienced mixed performances in 2007, with STMicroelectronics and Fairchild Semiconductor ranked second and third respectively. Vishay and Toshiba rounded out the ramainder of the top 5, while the depth of the market was underlined with a 62,5% share going to ‘other’ manufacturers. Research director, Ash Sharma added, “The future of the market continues to look very positive for power semiconductor suppliers with energy efficiency and energy concerns a major driver of growth.”
