CORONA, Calif., 19 Aug. 2008. The digital power market for power supplies that use digital loop control will grow by 45 percent each year for the next five years, predict analysts at the Darnell Group in Corona, Calif.
Digital power growth will be almost five times faster than the overall market, Darnell analysts predict. By 2013, the digital power converter market should exceed 1.4 billion units.
"To put the market in perspective, the worldwide total available AC-DC power supply and DC-DC converter unit market is set to grow at an average rate of only about 10 percent between 2008 and 2013," says Linnea Brush, senior analyst with Darnell.
"This includes external and embedded AC-DC power supplies, along with isolated and non-isolated DC-DC converters. A market of 1.4 billion units is still less than half the total available market, so digital control will continue to grow rapidly over the next five years, and beyond," Brush says.
