The rise in automation within the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the general-purpose analog integrated circuits (ICs) market moving forward. Automation in the automotive sector involves utilizing advanced technologies and robotics to perform tasks traditionally handled by human operators, enhancing efficiency, safety, and production capabilities. The automotive industry is increasingly adopting automation through developments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics, allowing for greater precision, faster production rates, reduced labor costs, and improved vehicle quality and durability. General-purpose analog integrated circuits (ICs) support automation in the automotive industry by enabling essential functions like processing sensor signals, managing power distribution, and controlling automated systems such as autonomous driving, adaptive cruise control, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). For example, in September 2023, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a Germany-based non-profit organization, reported that 553,052 industrial robots were installed in factories worldwide in 2022, reflecting a 5% year-over-year growth rate. Thus, increasing automation in the automotive industry is fueling the growth of the general-purpose analog integrated circuits (ICs) market.
Companies in the general-purpose analog IC market are focusing on developing advanced ICs, such as low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators, to reduce power consumption and extend operational lifespan. LDO voltage regulators are linear regulators that maintain a stable output voltage with a minimal voltage drop between input and output, making them suitable for applications requiring precise voltage regulation, such as portable electronics and low-power devices. For instance, Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc., a Japanese semiconductor company, introduced the NR1600 series in January 2023. These regulators are designed for consistent output voltages with minimal dropout, featuring configurable output voltage settings, soft-start time adjustments, power-good monitoring, and various trim packaging options to cater to different application needs.
