Trends of New Electronic Products Introduced in 2011

TRENDS OF NEW ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS INTRODUCED IN 2011 Find out how many electronic parts have been introduced to the market in the last year with our trends of NPI (new products introduced) in 2011. Our representation takes a whole year of compiled data to focus on specific product types introduced in the last year. From this you can conclude trends about growth and the direction of the electronic components market. RELATIVE QUANTITY 4/ 7% Interconnect Optoelectronics & Displays 8% Passive 10% 71% Electrical Semiconductors & Electric Components 2341 products were introduced last year, 1664 of them were semiconductors. WHEN ARE PRODUCTS INTRODUCED? 250 Jan Sep Dec Jan Sep Dec NEW PRODUCTS INTRODUCED JUST SEMICONDUCTORS New product introductions peak with a total of 284 products in September and drastically drop off to only 80 parts in December. Semiconductors' product time trend runs parallel with overall product introductions. They drive September and December fluctuations with 76% and 71% of the total NPI. MAIN SEMICONDUCTOR CATEGORIES 27.5% 24% 22% 26.5% Power Management Linear Discrete Other Semiconductors break down into 9 main categories and are dominated by Power Management, Linear ,and Discrete products. Other categories included Micro- controller and Processor, RF and Microwave, Standard and Specialty Logic, Clock and Timing, Communication, Memory, and others. Power Management includes DC to DC converters and Regulator Chips which cover approximately 24% of the Power Management Category. Linear parts have three subcategories: Amplifiers Comparators, Data Acquisi- tion, and Interface. The main functions are RF amplifier Chips, ADC function, and Interface Misc. Discrete breaks down into two main subcategories: Transitors and Diodes that perform the functions of Mosfet and Rectifiers. These Subcategories account for 66% (Transistors) and 27% (Diodes) of the Discrete category. LEADING SUPPLIERS Power Management Linear Discrete Linear Technology Analog International Rectifier National Semiconductors NXP Semiconductors NXP Semiconductors Texas Instruments Texas Instruments Parulit International Vishay REASONS, WHY? Many consumer electronics have short or varied product life-cycles. Disposability of certain designs (parts with quick obsolescence or old parts need to avoid costly re-designs by creating crosses). Product cycles, management changes, restructuring companies, economic fac- tors, new technology. Possible correlation between revenue dropping in parts sales and a lack of NPI in the fourth quarter. There was a drop in the demand, so supply inventories of old parts increased and not as many new parts were introduced.
