Latest report on emerging non-volatile memory
A report recently released by Yole Développement (Yole) has shown that emerging NVM sales are still moderate, announcing a $53m market in 2015. According to the ‘More than Moore’ market research and strategy consulting company, this market is limited to niche markets due to the limited density available.
How will power electronics companies respond to Infineon Technologies?
What strategy will other power electronics companies adopt in response to Infineon Technologies? Do they have to make strategic technical choices? Will we see new collaborations, mergers or acquisitions in the near future? According to Yole’s analysts, it’s likely we will. Last week, Infineon Technologies’ acquisition of Wolfspeed for $850m in cash made lots of noise in the compound semiconductor world.
Technologies for automotive lighting: a deep mutation
After a slow increase of revenue from 2015 to 2018 due to LED cost erosion, Yole Développement’s analysts forecast a market recovery with a 23.7% CAGR between 2015 and 2021. This trends is explained by the wider adoption of advanced front lighting systems and the slow adoption of emerging light sources such as laser and OLED.
Battery pack components; Companies seek better margins
Battery pack components are gaining importance in the fast-growing battery pack market, reaching $65.7bn by 2021. Cost decrease and performance improvements will directly impact the market and contribute to a larger adoption in many applications. Many companies have identified this potential and focused their R&D efforts on the development of disruptive technologies for Li-ion battery packs.
Vehicle hybridisation is pulling the power electronics market
“2015 was an important year for power electronics industry”, announces Yole, the 'More than Moore' market research and strategy consulting company. Indeed 2015 corresponds to the beginning of ASP strong erosion due to the high production volume.
The first executive infrared imaging forum to take place in Shenzhen
