Linear Regulator Power Management IC Market Analysis
The Linear Regulators Power Management IC Market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period from (2022 to 2027). Increasing demand for battery-powered devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, digital cameras, navigation systems, and others is driving the growth of the linear regulator power management IC market. Moreover, technological advancement and the growing trend of energy harvesting technologies also support its growth.
As a linear regulator can output a lower steady voltage from the input voltage, they are increasingly being used in electronic devices. Inside an electronic device, components such as sensors and MCUs require a steady voltage, a linear regulator IC creates the necessary voltage for subsequent systems mainly from the power supplied by the battery.
The automotive industry is among the major consumer of linear regulator PMICs. The growth of the automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the studied market. According to European Automobile Manufacturers Association, Europe's passenger car registrations went up by 8.0% to 11 million units during the first nine months of the year 2021.
The consumer electronics market has also witnessed significant growth over the past few years. For instance, according to US Census Bureau and CTA, the value of smartphone sales in the United States was forecasted to increase to USD 74.7 billion in 2021. As linear regulator Power Management ICs (PMIC) are used in products such as smartphones, wearables, etc., the demand is expected to witness an upward trend.
However, limitations of linear regulator PMICs, such as their inability to step up the input voltage, and lower efficiency due to high heat loss, may limit the growth of the studied market in the longer run.
The significant impact of COVID-19 has been observed on the studied market, primarily due to supply chain disruption and unstable demand across its end-user industries. For instance, the European automotive industry was severely impacted and experienced a decline in overall automotive production due to stringent supply chain disruption caused by imposed lockdowns. However, with the conditions returning to normalcy, the demand for linear regulator Power management ICs (PMIC) is expected to increase in the automotive sector.
