Power management integrated circuits are denoted by the acronym PMIC. These electrical components offer highly integrated, high-performance power management solutions for various applications, including automotive, consumer electronics, and telecommunications & networking. PMICs give the most effective integration options because of their operational features, such as power management, system control, battery management, interface & audio operations, and other system-specific activities. There is a variety of PMICs now in use. Commonly used ICs include voltage regulators, battery management ICs, integrated ASSP power management ICs, and motor control ICs. PMICs, constructed utilizing high-performance manufacturing techniques, offer high-efficiency solutions to extend battery life and reduce power dissipation.
It is anticipated that the market for PMICs will change due to rapid technological advancements and robust growth in the electronics industry. The global demand for PMICs has expanded due to technological advances in electronic devices. The need for high-speed communication network infrastructure is fueled by the recent advent of smartphones with greater functionality: fourth-generation (4G) and fifth-generation (5G) mobile telecommunications services fuel the smartphone market. As smartphones are connected with PMICs, the smartphone industry's growth will ultimately assist the PMICs industry. In addition, a battery is one of the essential components of a portable electronic gadget. Estimates indicate that the market for PMICs will expand faster than electronic devices.
During the forecast period, the PMIC market is also expected to be driven by an increase in consumer electronics and automobile sales and a significant increase in demand for power management integrated circuits in these applications. The manufacturing and automotive industries are two of the major end-users of PMICs. In industrial and automotive applications, PMICs are widely used as direct-to-direct (DC to DC) current converters. They are ideal for usage in the automotive sector in applications such as monitoring the power supply and power management system, instrument clusters, body control modules, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These PMICs have a low standby current requirement and can provide a consistent output across an extensive input voltage range. Additionally, consumer electronics are predicted to drive the global market for PMICs. PMICs are utilized in electrical products since they offer highly efficient methods for reducing power dissipation and extending battery life.
The primary purpose of the PMIC in any electronic device is to regulate voltage and current requirements. PMICs may have components such as voltage regulation, DC-to-DC current converters, and battery management. The market for PMICs is anticipated to expand in the coming years due to the high system flexibility, low costs, little space needs, and increased PMIC applications. As a result of growing technological developments and new product development in electronic items, an increasing number of electronic gadgets are entering the market. The arrival of the Apple Watch Series 6 serves as evidence of this. Power supply management becomes a necessity for the continued operation of these devices. The characteristics of PMICs make feasible robust, more durable, and cost-effective power management systems, which are expected to generate enormous demand and growth opportunities for the PMIC market.
The Asia Pacific will command the market with the largest share, expanding at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are the leading Asian economies impacting PMICs and PMIC-embedded devices. China holds the largest market share for PMICs in the Asia-Pacific region, followed by Japan and India. In addition, the presence of multiple significant electronic equipment producers significantly contributes to the region's economic growth. Moreover, the increased use of electric and hybrid vehicles would increase the need for PMICs in this region. In 2020, the Chinese government issued three national recommendations regarding the safety criteria for batteries in electronic vehicles and their thermal diffusion, mechanical shock, external fire, overcharge, and overtemperature protection. To comply with these standards, manufacturers must utilize a variety of PMIC types for various purposes. Consequently, the market for PMICs is anticipated to increase significantly in demand in the following years.
In 2019, Panasonic Corporation and Ritsumeikan University developed a battery management technology by inventing a new battery monitoring IC (BMIC) test chip that measures the electrochemical impedance of multi-cell stacked lithium-ion batteries. BMIC has applications in LSVs (Low-Speed Vehicles), construction and logistics equipment, and electric motorbikes. Such substantial regional changes accelerate the growth of the PMICs market during the forecast period. Moreover, the ongoing development of the Internet of Things (IoT) in India is a significant factor in the growth of the PMICs market over the forecast period. Demand for energy-efficient devices increased disposable income and expanding technological awareness all contribute to India's substantial increase in IoT device usage.
North America is expected to advance at a CAGR of 4.41% and hold USD 14,892 million by 2030. The market for PMICs integrated products in North America is anticipated to be driven by an increase in industrialization, a growth in the production of durable consumer electronics, and a developing automobile sector. In North America, the market for PMICs is primarily driven by their application in the automotive/transportation, electronic durables, and industrial markets. The demand for portable electronic gadgets in North America is also anticipated to rise during the prediction. In 2020, Samsung US introduced the first all-in-one power ICs for wireless earbuds. This new PMIC integrates multiple separate components into a single chip, allowing more compelling designs to improve battery life. Similar developments are anticipated for consumer electronics in the region, enhancing the market expansion potential for PMICs.
