“This study answers several questions for the stakeholders, primarily, the market segments that they should focus upon during the next two to five years to prioritize their efforts and investments”.

Non-Isolated DC-DC converters

Non-Isolated DC-DC converters segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR

Non-Isolated DC-DC converters have certain advantages as compared to the isolated DC-DC converters. For instance, they are cheaper and can be used for negative ground DC applications in vehicles. The only issue with non-isolated DC-DC converters is that they offer no protection to the load for any voltage fluctuations from the input side. Non-isolated DC-DC converters provide comparatively less blockage for noise. Their applications include point-of-load modules, cellphones, CPU and memory power supplies, and so on.

The Global DC-DC converters market is expected to grow from USD 3.46 billion in 2016 to USD 3.94 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 2.66%. Factors, such as growing concern towards global energy consumption, introduction of advanced power saving architectures, increasing demand in current requirements by the ICT industry, and the emergence of digital power management and control technologies are expected to drive the DC-DC converters market.

On the basis of application, the server, storage & network segment is growing at the highest CAGR. This growth can be attributed to the continuous increase in the number of data centers which demand energy efficiency and high performance. DC-DC converters fulfill the requirements of low voltage for these applications and ensure continuous power supply for optimal system performance.

On the basis of output number, three output is the fastest growing segment. The demand for three output is mainly driven due to the requirement of multiple outputs required for various on-board applications.

On the basis of input voltage, >70V is the fastest growing segment. The high voltage DC is more efficient to power future telecommunication and datacom systems such as 3G, 4G, and 5G systems. Thus the global rise in demand for 4G and 5G services will fuel the demand for DC-DC converters.

On the basis of output voltage, the 15V systems are projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The demand for 15V DC-DC converters is increasing owing to certain advantages over low voltage DC-DC converters such as the compact size, cost effectiveness, and greater power.

On the basis of output power, <20W is projected to have the highest CAGR. Increase in the demand for electronic goods in military for military aircraft and weapon systems, automation in the industrial sector and increase in the demand for health care equipment is driving the market for DC-DC converters globally.

On the basis of the sales channel, indirect sales has the highest CAGR in the global DC-DC converter market due to certain advantages for manufacturers such as lower operational cost, non-requirement of a sales infrastructure, and the boom in e-commerce.

The demand for increased power density is expected to be one of the major factors contributing to the growth of the quarter brick segment of the DC-DC converters market. It is expected that by form factor, the quarter brick segment is projected to have the highest market share throughout the forecast period.

On the basis of product type, the non-isolated DC-DC converters is the fastest growing segment. This segment is growing at a higher rate due to the increase in the global demand for cell phones, CPUs, memory power supplies, and point of load modules.
