TI vil dominere power IC-markedet

Med Texas Instruments køb af National Semiconductor får firmaet førerposition inden power og LED IC'er, fastslår analysefirmaet IMS Research (in english).

Texas Instruments’ acquisition of National Semiconductor for $6.5 billion will create a giant that dominates the power IC field according to the latest data from IMS Research. The combination of these two titans will represent about 17% of the power management and driver IC market, or $2.2 billion in revenue, whilst their share of the LED IC market will stand at over 25%.
 
IMS Research senior power analyst Ryan Sanderson comments:
- Assuming that the deal is waived through by the regulators, TI, once it completes the acquisition and integration of National, would have just over twice the market share of #2 ranked Infineon, assuming previous years’ results.


Within the power management area, TI has a strong position in areas such as switching controllers and battery management. Meanwhile, National is strong in areas such as voltage regulation ICs. As a result, the combined company will have a very strong position across a wide range of power IC products.
 
The merger will also consolidate the two companies’ leadership positions in some emerging areas such as LED driver ICs. IMS Research ranked TI and National #1 and #2 respectively in 2010 and the combined share of the new company is estimated at 26%. 

- We estimate that TI held around 19% of this market in 2010, whilst National took 7%. The new combined company will be four times bigger than its nearest competitor in this high growth market, which was worth nearly $1 billion in 2010, says Jamie Fox, senior LED lighting analyst at IMS Research.
 
Prior to the acquisition, TI had been successful in several high volume markets such as mobile, signage and lighting. National was also strong in mobile as well as operating in other sectors such as automotive and lighting.
