Release date：2014-06-25   Views：4105

Insight's latest forecast, optoelectronics, sensors, After two consecutive years of weak performance, the market of actuators and discrete devices (referred to as o-s-d market) is expected to rebound and grow by 8% in 2014. Among them, the products with the best growth performance are expected to be accelerometer, gyroscope, actuator and magnetometer. These products are in recession in 2013, but they are expected to achieve double-digit growth in 2014.

IC insights pointed out that the weakness of the o-s-d market in 2013 was due to economic uncertainty and inventory correction, but these three market areas will grow strongly in the next few years as the global economy improves and overall demand returns. In 2013, the market grew by only 1%, lower than the growth rate of 4.7% in the overall semiconductor market; the market size of o-s-d market in 2013 was 58.6 billion US dollars, which was 58.2 billion US dollars in 2012.

IC insights estimates that the revenue scale of o-s-d market in 2014 will reach US $63.5 billion, with a growth rate of 8%; among them, the growth rate of optoelectronic component market is predicted to be 9%, and the revenue scale is The annual growth rate of the sensor / actuator market is expected to be 14%, with a scale of $9.9 billion; the discrete element market will recover from two consecutive years of recession, growing by 6% to reach the revenue scale of $22 billion.

Growth trend of o-s-d market from 2011 to 2016

IC insights expects the o-s-d market to continue to grow into the next global recession in 2017; the market's CAGR between 2013 and 2018 is estimated to be 6.4%. Although the growth performance of the market in 2013 was weak, the revenue scale accounted for 18% of the total semiconductor market sales of US $325.1 billion, which was 16% in 2003 and 14.6% in 1993; it is expected to occupy 20% of the total semiconductor market scale of US $440.5 billion in 2018.

At the same time, overall sensor sales grew by only 3% in 2013 due to a 2% decline in accelerometers and gyroscopes (the first such decline in eight years); sales of magnetometers declined by 1% and actuator sales by 4% in 2013. For discrete components, the sales of power transistors declined by 6% in 2012 and 8% in 2013. This is the first consecutive decline in the power transistor market in the past three decades.

The growth momentum of o-s-d market in the next five years is expected to come from: high brightness LED for solid-state lighting applications, laser emitters for high-speed optical fiber network applications, MEMS accelerometers / gyroscopes and pressure sensors for highly adaptable embedded control and position sensing mobile phones / portable devices, and CMOS image sensing for machine vision, medical systems and new generation face recognition interface applications Power transistors for measuring devices, hybrid / electric vehicles, energy saving devices, and battery management solutions.
