4. Major Restraints Slowdown in the economy retards growth.
Intense competition continues to drive down prices impacting revenues
Slowdown in worldwide electronics market curtails the growth of Power Management IC market
Market fragmentation increases competition and restraints revenues
Lack of product innovation hinders revenue growth
Preferability of discretes over ICs due to non-space constraints reduces revenues

5. Industry Trends
The Power Management IC market continues to experience advancements in IC design and fabrication processes resulting in a reduction is size
Highly fragmented by the technology, product type, application, and end-user markets.
The trend in the Switching (AC-DC & DC-DC) is evolving more towards integration of various technologies like Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) controllers and Power Factor Correctors (PFC) controllers on one chip.
Voltage Regulators and References continues to see a migration towards switching regulators and away from linear regulators
The Application Specific Products Market has been mainly driven by the need to minimize size and cost in many wireless handsets and portable device applications
The traditional domain of Motor Control ICs is going far beyond the traditional storage and DVD players where as now it is very common in gaming systems.
