Low-voltage MOSFETs with a voltage rating of <40 volts are expected to witness high demand because of their increased adoption for various applications. Most electronic devices employ low-voltage MOSFETs to optimize the power consumption of the device, which is one of the key concerns of manufacturers. As a result, the demand for low-voltage MOSFETs with a rating of <40 volts is expected to increase, propelling the growth of the market.
One of the major driving factors is the increasing number of portable electronic devices. The increasing number of portable electronic devices has shifted the focus of manufacturers to effective power management in the devices. This in turn has led to increased adoption of low-voltage MOSFETs by portable electronic device manufacturers. Thus, the increasing number of portable electronic devices will propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
One of the key challenges in the market is declining sales of Ultrabooks and desktop PCs. MOSFETs are becoming significant components in Ultrabooks and desktop PCs because of their technical advantages that help in effective power management. Thus, the declining demand for Ultrabooks and desktop PCs is expected to affect the shipments of low-voltage MOSFETs and in turn affect the market growth during the forecast period.
Analysts forecast the Global Low-voltage MOSFET market will grow at a CAGR of 6.6 percent over the period 2013-2018.
The following companies are recognised as key players operating in the Global Low-voltage MOSFET Market: Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, International Rectifier Corp., Renesas Electronics Corp., Toshiba Corp., Vishay Intertechnology Inc., Diodes Inc., NXP Semiconductors N.V, On Semiconductor Corp., Rohm Co. Ltd, and STMicroelectronics N.V.
A MOSFET is a three terminal semiconductor component and a type of transistor which is used for amplifying electronic signals or switching electronic signals. MOSFETs are mainly used for voltage conversions. MOSFETs are basically silicon-based semiconductor components used in electronic devices. Further, MOSFETs have three terminals namely source, gate, and drain. A low-voltage MOSFET is a type of MOSFET which operates at a voltage below 150 volts. MOSFETs are integrated into a system depending on the voltage at which they are operating, thus, the MOSFETs are selected on the same basis.
