Global Analog IC Market 2011-2015 - Market Research Report

The Global Analog IC market is to grow at a CAGR of 4.7 percent over the period 2011-2015. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the need for management in electronic products. The Global Analog IC market has also been witnessing emerging applications of analog ICs in LED lighting systems. However, the demand and supply imbalance of analog ICs could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are being increasingly used in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting applications because of their power-efficient functions. The demand for LED lighting systems is growing because they consume less power and provide more brightness. LEDs are widely deployed in industrial and commercial applications, as well as in household lighting applications. LEDs are also preferred in the Automotive segment. Thus, the demand for power-efficient LEDs is leading to the increasing usage of analog ICs in them.

The Automotive segment is one of the major growth areas for the Global Analog IC market. Analog ICs are used for various applications in vehicles such as for sensor applications, power management, fuel efficiency, and engine control. In the Automotive segment, there is high demand for Analog ICs from electric vehicles, as these analog ICs enhance the battery life of electric vehicles with their power management function. Thus, the increasing demand from the Automotive segment is driving the Global Analog IC market.
