According to iSuppli’s survey for the power management market, the power management semiconductor has risen a bit in the first quarter of 2012 after the sharp drop in the forth quarter of 2011. This market begins to rise in the second quarter of 2012, which is mainly driven by the expansion of consumer and industrial field. The income of power management semiconductor will reach 8 billon US dollars in the second quarter of 2012, which will increase by 6.7% over the first quarter.

In general, the achievement of this market will reach 32.8 billion US dollar in 2012. Compared with 2009 and 2010, the opportunity in this market is less in 2012, but the achievement in this year will not be less than last year.

The power management market always has a decline in the forth quarter every year, which is a normal trend. However, the decline in last forth quarter has shown the weakness of this market. The power management semiconductor is very important, which can be used in many different kinds of electronic devices. It can help the heat dissipation and reduce the weight and size.

Several reasons has caused the decline in last forth quarter, including the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and Thai flood disaster. The expense of world’s customers slowed down and the some governmental project shrank, which made the situation worse.

It is indicated that this market is recovering. The growth in the first quarter is weak in this year, but the demand in the second quarter will be strong. In the consumer field, the leading power management product will be the IGBT module which will be used in the switching power supply. The power management IC will be the important product to drive the growth in consumer field. It is predicated that the growth rate of power management market will increase by 6.6% in future five years. This market will have a bright future. The increase of iPad and other tablet computer field will be robust in the future five years. The compound yearly growth rate can reach 30.7% between 2011 and 2016.
