Emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) is Stimulating the Power Management IC Market Expansion

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. 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.

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. 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.

Novel Product Launches and Acquisitions Provide Traction to the Market Expansion

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. 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.

High Costs, Complexity and Technical Limitations of PMICs are Likely to Hamper the Market Growth

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 have 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. 

STMicroelectronics, Maxim Integrated, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, ROHM Semiconductor, Renesas Electronics Corporation, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Inc., ON Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies AG, Dialog Semiconductor are some of the prominent market players operating in the global power management IC market.
