Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v59tl7/global_3d_tv) has announced the addition of the "Global 3D TV Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global 3D TV market will grow at a CAGR of 35.85% over the period 2013-2018. 3D capability is a feature of a high-definition TV that enables three-dimensional display unlike traditional TVs that display only two dimensions. The 3D feature adds the perception of depth to an otherwise two-dimensional display. The first wave of 3D TVs appeared in households in 2010. In the wake of social media garnering a significant share of consumers' leisure time, all other forms of entertainment media are trying to retain their share of this time. This has forced TV manufacturers to come up with innovative models and provide a high-quality viewing experience to attract customers. With the incremental cost of adding the 3D feature to TVs coming down every year, it is expected that in a short time almost every TV will be 3D enabled. The Global 3D TV market can be divided into two segments: LCD and Plasma. These two types of display technology have their own strengths and limitations in terms of picture quality. The report, the Global 3D TV Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts.

They also play a major role in the technological advancement of power electronics. Another major driver of the market is high demand for discrete IGBTs. Further, the report states that despite the presence of the drivers, the Global IGBT market faces some major challenges. One such challenge is the economic slowdown that has reduced the demand for power semiconductors such as IGBTs. The demand for power semiconductors is dependent on the growth of various application segments including the Consumer Electronics, EV/HEV, Industrial Motor Drive, Renewable Energy, and Traction application segments. Over the past few years, the use of IGBTs in industrial motor drives has reduced because of factors such as the sluggish economic recovery in the US, the natural disasters in Japan, and the Eurozone debt crisis. The Global IGBT market can be divided into six segments based on applications: - Consumer - EV/HEV - Industrial Motor Drives - Renewable Energy - Traction - Others Key Vendors - Fairchild Semiconductor Inc. - Fuji Electric Co. Ltd - Infineon Technologies AG - Mitsubishi Electric Corp. - Semikron International GmbH Other Prominent Vendors - Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Ltd - International Rectifier - Renesas Electronics Corp. - STMicroelectronics N.V. - Toshiba Corp.
