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% from 2016 to 2021. The objective of this study is to define, identify, analyze, and forecast by market’s trends, drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges on the basis of application, output number, input voltage, output voltage, output power, sales channel, form factor, product type, and geography. The report tries to segment the geographical market into the Americas, APAC and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). The report also focuses on the competitive landscape in this market by profiling companies based on their financial positions, product portfolios, growth strategies and analyzing their core competencies and market shares to anticipate the degree of competition prevailing in the market. This report also tracks and analyzes competitive developments such as partnerships, mergers & acquisitions (M&A), new product developments, and research & development (R&D) activities in the global market. 2015 was considered the base year and 2016 to 2021 was considered the forecast period for this market study.

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the global market included the study of data on key DC-DC converter manufacturers’ revenues globally through secondary  sources, such as the World Trade Organization, European Power Supply Manufacturers Association, and, Power Sources Manufacturers Association. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall DC-DC converters market size from the revenue of key players in the market operating globally. After arriving at the overall market size, the total DC-DC converters market was split into several segments and sub-segments which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key industry experts, such as CEOs, VPs, directors, executives, and DC-DC converter engineers. These data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and sub-segments. The breakdown of profiles of primaries is depicted in the below figure:

The 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.

The global DC-DC converters market in the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2016, followed by the Americas. China, Japan and Taiwan are the major producers of electronic devices such as air conditioners, laptops, and cell phones, among others, which is expected to drive the demand for DC-DC converters to a large extent.

DC-DC converters cannot be switched off when there is no load or when these are not required which is a restraint in converters market. As DC-DC converters cannot be switched off when not in use, it causes the generation of heat, which leads to additional thermal stress. This, in turn, increases power resistance from the components and results in power loss and reduced system efficiency. The biggest challenge for DC-DC converter manufacturers is to develop a device that automatically switches-off during no-load situation. Efforts are being made by system designers to develop converters that encompass the automatic switch-off option.

The global DC-DC converters market is diversified and competitive with the presence of a large number of players. The key players operational in the DC-DC converters market include General Electric (GE) (U.S.), Ericsson (Sweden), Texas Instruments (U.S.), Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd (Japan), Delta Electronics Inc. (Taiwan), among others. These companies are playing an important role in the overall development of this industry by focusing on developing new products. General Electric and Ericsson are leading players in the DC-DC converters market globally. These companies have strong distribution networks, worldwide.
