High-speed analog market on growth track, says firm








Silicon Strategies


RENO, Nevada -- Market research company Databeans Inc. estimates that global revenue for high-speed linear products in 2002 was $1.40 billion, constituting 15 percent of the total standard linear market.

Databeans predicts the market, defined as high-speed amplifiers operating at or over 50-MHz, line drivers with data rates in excess of 1-Mbit/s and data converters with sampling speeds over 1-Msample/s, will rise to $1.67 billion in 2003 and to $2.08 billion in 2004.

The revenue growth for these high-speed products is expected to outperform average annual growth for standard markets achieving 18 percent each year compared to 15 percent for the overall market.

The progressing communications market drives demand for high-speed products, and vertical application markets such as medical imaging and professional video do as well. In 2002, Databeans estimates that high-speed linear products consumed in the communications market generated $692 million, which constituted 49 percent of total revenue. Consumption in this market was fueled by surging demand for broadband Internet connections and for wireless access equipment.

At an annual growth rate of 21% each year, the high-speed linear market in the communications segment should reach $2.2 billion by 2008. Other advancing segments are consumer, industrial, and computing, which are driven by advanced connectivity in set-top-boxes and increasing high-speed signal conditioning in DVD and process control applications.
