Power Management IC Market Report

Power management is becoming an increasingly essential feature in enabling the electronics we use every day, from smartphones and electric vehicles (EVs) to EV charging stations and data centers. With the Internet being freely available practically anywhere in the globe, the number of devices or "things" that use it is rapidly increasing, giving rise to the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). The emergence of this concept has contributed to a surge in demand for power management ICs in the market, positively influencing the power management IC market size. Additionally, the rapid development of smart homes and smart grid technologies, increased processing power in computers and mobile devices, and rising smartphone and tablet adoption are all contributing to a favorable market setting for the power management IC market to expand further, supporting sustained power management IC market growth and adoption of digital power conversion solutions.

Manufacturers operating in this market are concentrating their focus on developing creative solutions and releasing new products in order to gain a competitive advantage in the market, shaping key power management IC market trends. For example, in September 2022, Nordic Semiconductor expanded its product line with the introduction of nPM6001TM, a specialized PMIC with six power rails that may be operated individually. It was developed to manage and provide the power requirements of complicated IoT equipment with different power domains requiring independent voltage control. The PMIC may also be used to shut down each power domain individually in order to save energy and increase the battery life of the IoT device.

The increasing demand for energy-efficient products is majorly driving the power management IC market. Globally, the considerable increase in energy consumption and cost has compelled consumers to save energy and create solutions to mitigate the environmental damage caused by carbon emissions. This has raised market demand for power-saving electrical components such as power ICs, including power quality equipment, as highlighted in recent power management IC industry analysis. In addition to this, the increased popularity of portable devices is driving up demand for PMICs. The rising demand for smartphones, notebooks, and LEDs in turn accelerates the demand for power management ICs.

PMICs are largely utilized in smartphones to extend battery life as well as to provide efficient and quicker charging. PMIC also offers power solutions for media players, portable medical and industrial equipment, and navigation devices. Furthermore, owing to the increasing demand for smartphones, it has become important to incorporate PMICS in order to provide the necessary functionality and performance. Additionally, rising demand for consumer electronics such as tablets, music players, smartphones, and televisions is likely to boost development in the global power management ICs market during the forecast period, reinforcing the positive power management IC market outlook and potential in the USB power switches market.

• Adoption of GaN and SiC technologies for higher performance.
• Emphasis on IoT power management for low-power devices.
• Rising demand for automotive-grade power management ICs for EVs.
• Integration of power management functions for compact designs.

Major market participants are concentrating their efforts on research and development in order to create novel products that fulfill the needs of consumers. In order to enhance their position in the industry, they are also implementing different market strategies such as product launches, mergers, collaborations, and acquisitions, influencing overall power management IC market share dynamics. For instance, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation announced a new line of power management integrated circuits (PMIC) in December 2020 with the release of its first UHD display panel PMIC for laptops. The new PMIC is able to manage fluctuations in current consumption and safeguard devices from harm with functionalities such as over-voltage protection, short circuit protection, under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown, over-current limit, and over-current detection. Later, in August 2021, Renesas Electronics Corporation, a leading provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, and Dialogue.

Semiconductor Plc, a leading provider of battery and power management, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® low energy, and Industrial edge computing solutions, announced the successful completion of the acquisition of Dialog's entire issued and to be issued share capital by Renesas. Additionally, in January 2020, Qorvo®, a leading developer of innovative RF solutions that connect the world, launched a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) that expands the company's range of devices for quick in-vehicle charging of phones, tablets, and laptops. The ACT4751M from Qorvo is the industry's first AEC-Q100-approved step-down, voltage-regulator IC devoted to USB Type-C® Fast Charger applications. The ACT4751M is capable of meeting all power needs for USB Fast Charger applications, including the Power Delivery 3.0 Programmable Power Supply.

The power management section in a system necessitates the use of a number of single-function power management ICs. As a result, the cost of inventory, assembly, bill of materials, and dependability has increased. On both the primary and secondary sides of a circuit board, for example, the power rails are typically handled by a basic and single-function IC. A circuit board may require a variety of ICs depending on the onboard power, rail voltage, and other factors. Modern circuit boards require more than five secondary power lines, which increases the board's complexity. Furthermore, due to the rising demand for PMICs in portable devices, many manufacturers are focusing on reducing the size of these integrated circuits. Additionally, the manufacturers also have to ensure that the PMICs are both energy-efficient and compact in size. As a result, these factors are anticipated to limit the growth of the global power management ICs market over the forecast period, as reflected in comprehensive power management IC market analysis and long-term power management IC market forecast assessments.

STMicroelectronics, Maxim Integrated, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, ROHM Semiconductor, Renesas Electronics Corporation, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Inc., ON Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies AG, and Dialog Semiconductor are some of the prominent market players operating in the global power management IC market. The competitive landscape and evolving application areas further define the power management IC market segmentation across end-use industries and regions.

North America is anticipated to experience significant growth in the power management IC market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the rising inclination of the automotive industry towards electric transport systems across the region. Moreover, the existence of various market participants, as well as quick technical advancements in the telecommunications, electronics, and automotive industries, contributes to the country's competitive advantage. In addition to this, the market is also growing due to the rising government initiatives and significant expenditures in battery management systems to meet the development of electric cars and storage demands. Furthermore, the power management IC market is also witnessing a surge in demand in the Asia Pacific region owing to the increasing industrial automation in the region.
