Summary

Until relatively recently, some observers were predicting that the market for analog and mixed (analog/digital) signal devices would decline as more and more users turned to all-digital circuits to power their electronic devices. However, in spite of these grim predictions, the market for analog and mixed signal ICs has continued to grow-from roughly $24 billion in 2002 to$31.7 billion in 2005, a CAGR of nearly 10% per year.

Much of this growth is due to the fact that analog and mixed signal ICs are optimized for handling real-world signals such as voice, sound, pressure, temperature and electricity, and converting them into the ones and zeros of the digital world, where they can be processed rapidly by digital signal processors (DSPs) and back into real world signals again. All-digital circuits, in contrast, are ideal for storing and manipulating binary data to do everything from word processing and spreadsheet calculations to playing games, but they are ill-suited for communicating.

We live in an age of communications, and analog and mixed signal ICs are key technologies enabling high-growth applications in areas such as digital wireless communications, broadband access, digital audio, and high-resolution imaging. Analog and mixed signal ICs are also helping to protect and improve human health, as a key component of many implantable monitoring and prosthetic devices. Last but not least, they are contributing to economic efficiency and growth by enabling businesses to monitor and improve the efficiency of their processes.

Scope Of Study

This report contains:

Information on the global market for analog and mixed signal ICs, with up-to-date market data, estimates, and forecasts to 2011
The entire range of semiconductor products that are used to process analog signals alone or in combination with digital signals, including: power management ICs, data converters, amplifiers and comparators, switches and multiplexers, interfaces, application-specific ICs
A discussion of major products and applications for analog and mixed signal devices
A detailed review of important technologies and patents developed over the past several years, and a discussion of how each has had an impact on the market
Profiles of the major businesses involved in the industry.

Report Highlights

Global shipments of analog and mixed signal ICs were $31.7 billion in 2005, increasing to $37 billion in 2006. By 2011, analog and mixed signal IC shipments will reach $67.6 billion, a CAGR of 12.8%.
Standard ICs accounted for 45% of the total market for analog and mixed signal ICs in 2005, vs. 55% for application-specific ICs. The market for ASICS is growing at a somewhat faster rate than standard ICs, however, and by 2011 ASICs' market share is expected to reach 57%.
Telecommunications, especially wireless telecommunications, is the single biggest user of analog and mixed signal ICs, accounting for an estimated 40% of the total market for these chips in 2005. This share will rise to 46% by 2011.
