Recent interest from distributors, including Avnet Inc and Arrow Electronics Inc, in the analog segment of the electronic supply chain should prove to be opportune as this year progresses.
Worldwide analog revenue is expected to increase to just more than $40 billion in 2008, and grow to more than $69 billion in 2013, for a five-year compound annual-growth rate of 11%, according to Databeans Inc.
The market-research company expects continued demand for wireless products, as well as healthy revenue growth for analog-power products, to drive the growth. The two segments combined to account for more than 40% of the entire $36.4 billion analog market in 2007, the company’s data shows.
Demand for application-specific analog products and standard-linear products is expected to be positive this year, with a large projected increase in total analog shipments set to offset decreases in average selling prices of application-specific products, Databeans reports.
In 2007, Texas Instruments retained its lead in the analog market, followed by STMicroelectronics and Infineon Technologies, according to the market researcher.
