China Power MOSFET Market Forecast

Until the third quarter of last year, power MOSFET in most of the 2010 are in short supply situation, hard to meet the needs of China’s industries, including local data processing, consumption and communications. Last year, power MOSFET had strong growth in the Chinese market, mainly to the Chinese government boost. In order to encourage investment and stimulate the economy, the Chinese government introduced a series of policies. The application power MOSFET industry benefited from the government action, including the auto, communication, consumption, green energy and industry.

Power MOSFET is a power semiconductor designed for processing the higher power level, mainly used in the power supply and DC low voltage DC converter switch. At present, there are many MOSFET suppliers, including Vishay, Rohm, Fairchild, EUPEC, IXYS, Infineon, Semikron, Microsemi, ST, Diodes, ONsemi, Renesas, SILAN, Nixon etc. With rapid development of green energy and industrial electronics market such as solar power, wind power, LED lighting, LED TV, and the electric car/hybrid car market, China’s market for the need of the MOSFET is rapidly rising.

But in 2011, the growth rate of power MOSFET will not so fast as last year. On the one hand, the Chinese government in investment become more cautious, and started to tighten policy to curb inflation. On the other hand, Japan March earthquake is expected to affect the future at least several months of wafer and raw material supply.

In the future years, data processing will continue to occupy major position in China power MOSFET market, and the growth rate among 2010 to 2015 is about 12%, with laptop to be the main growth. Benefit from China strong demand to the TV and household appliances, consumer electronics have become China’s second high power MOSFET market. Other markets are including: wireless communication, communication cable, industrial electronics, automobile electronics, etc. IHS iSuppli estimates that 2010-2015 China power MOSFET general market compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will be 13.7%.

MOSFET Supplier

Vishay is the main MOSFET suppliers. Vishay has continuous MOSFET products from 8 V to 1000 V, can be applied to various areas: from low power consumption portable products application to many high power of industrial products. In addition, for photovoltaic solar inverter, HEV/EV chargers, UPS power system panels Lord Frequency converter, industrial with a switch power supply main inverter (SMPS), and other key target markets, Vishay also provides the corresponding module products.

Vishay products are used in every field, the main customers including apple, Continental, Cisco, dell, Huawei, Samsung, Siemens, Emerson, Powerone, etc. Vishay MOSFET and module products last year reached millions of shipments. And last year it increased investment in front and end terminal production, it stabilizes the market supply.
