Worldwide DC-DC Converter Module Forecasts 2014-2019: Power Architectures, Product Types, Voltage Trends and Applications
M2 - Thu Apr 10, 8:43AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sj4sq6/worldwide_dcdc) has announced the addition of the "Worldwide DC-DC Converter Module Forecasts: Power Architectures, Product Types, Voltage Trends and Applications" report to their offering. The dc-dc converter module power supply market is projected to see considerable growth over the next five years, with the dollar market increasing from $3.9 billion in 2014 to almost $5.0 billion in 2019, a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. Fueled by healthy growth in a number of traditional applications including the communications, computer and industrial sectors as well as the emergence of several new and innovative power architectures, the outlook for the dc-dc converter module power supply market is expected to remain strong over the forecast period. One of the driving forces in this year's edition is the emergence of digital power management and control. No longer considered an emerging technology, it has entered the mainstream and is now widely considered to be a commercial product and is now used in a growing number of applications. In fact, in one of the more interesting findings in this report, the unit market for dc-dc converter modules with digital capability is projected to grow three and a half times as fast as the overall dc-dc converter module unit market. This higher growth rate varies by application segment and by product type and is detailed in this report. Another important factor in the growth of the dc-dc converter market over the next several years is the emergence of several new architectures including the Centralized Control Architecture (CCA) and the Dynamic Bus Architecture (DBA), both of which are expected to have a strong impact on the design of dc-dc converters. However, despite the projected growth of these new power architectures, the Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) is expected to remain the dominate force driving the sales of dc-dc converter modules over the forecast period. Key Topics Covered: - Introduction - Emerging Trends and Developments - Digital Power Overview - Factors Driving Digital Demand in Power Supplies - Potential Areas of Digital Application - Power and Energy Management: Accuracy Requirements - Multi-Phase Solutions - MicroTCA Power Modules - Distributed Power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) Products - Alternative Trends and Developments - Advancements in Semiconductor Materials - Evolving Power Architectures - DC-DC Converter Module Forecasts - Applications by Power Architecture Forecasts - Input Voltage Forecasts - Output Voltage Forecasts - Product Type Forecasts - Isolated DC-DC Converter Module Forecasts - Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter Module Forecasts - DC-DC Converter Module Application Forecasts - DC-DC Converter Module Application Digital Forecasts - Competitive Environment - Cui Inc. - Delta Electronics - Emerson Network Power - Ericsson Power Modules - General Electric Energy - Murata Power Solutions - NetPower Technologies - Power One - Power Box - Powervation Ltd. - TDK-Lambda - Vicor Power For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sj...dwide_dcdc
