With the development of emerging application fields such as the Internet of Things, new energy, artificial intelligence, and robotics, the threshold for applying power management chips is also increasing. A report pointed out that in recent years, the power management chip application field has shown a gradual transition from low-end consumer electronics to high-end industrial and automotive fields. For every contender, breaking through the low-end barriers of power management chips can escape the vicious circle of price competition and move towards a broader world.
As a company integrating power management chip research, providing system solutions and product services for users in the power, communication, electric vehicle and other industries, Jiehuate Microelectronics (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jiehuate) At present, products such as battery management, LED lighting, and DC/DC converters are produced, which are generally used in electronic devices such as mobile phones and notebook computers.
According to Semiconductor statistics, the output value of global power management chips from 2015 to 2017 was $19.1 billion, $19.8 billion, and $22.3 billion, respectively. As the markets for new energy vehicles and 5G communications continue to grow, the global power management chip market will continue to benefit. TransparencyMarketResearch (TMR), an international market research institute, said that the global power management chip market will reach about $25 billion.
Power management chips play a key role in electronic information products and have a wide range of product applications. However, mobile phones and consumer electronic products are relatively low-end, and price competition is fierce. On the other hand, in the automotive and industrial power supply IC market applications, although the application technology requirements are high, the product gross margin is high, so automotive and industrial power supplies The field has attracted a large number of contenders.
The survey shows that more than half of the revenue of my country’s microelectronics companies come from the automotive and industrial sectors. This seems to be a more accurate indication that the transition from the low-end consumer electronics market to the high-end industrial and automotive markets in the future power management chip application will become an industry development. New trends. It takes a lot of effort for any company to become a beneficiary.
In fact, many companies that develop high-end power management chips are secretly accumulating strength, and Jiehuat looks forward to occupying more market shares in related fields such as automotive and industrial power supplies in the future.
