Research and Markets has announced the addition of Consumer Analog to their offering.

Consumer electronics remain a driving force for demand for semiconductors. Legacy electronics are rapidly being replaced by digital flat panel screen TVs, video recorders, digital cameras, and more.

In general, demand for consumer electronics has resembled a linear trend over time. However, over the past five years, there have been several products coming on the market that have been trending exponentially. Products like flat panel televisions, personal video recorders, and portable multimedia players are expected to experience strong shipment growth in excess of 30 percent each year over the next five years.

Outside the audio/video space, consumer products are continuing to incorporate more semiconductors for efficient power management and human interface. Such products include cordless tools, personal care products, home environmental controls, and appliances.

The market for semiconductors used specifically for consumer electronics is gaining momentum. This study provides insight into the market for consumer analog ICs. Products such as power audio amplifiers, audio DACs, audio codecs, volume control ICs, video encoder/decoder, video DACs and video ADCs, special purpose PLLs, special purpose clock drivers, tuners, and motor control.

This study provides consumption estimates for consumer analog in digital audio, digital television, personal imaging, DVD, Set-Top-Box, legacy audio/video, games, personal electronics, appliances, and other consumer goods. The report also provides forecasts for the consumer analog market by application and region, along with market share estimates for suppliers making up 95 percent of the market.
