Introduction

Abstract

Worldwide, AC/DC switching power supplies (SPS) market is driven by various end-use applications such as computers, communications, military/aerospace, industrial controls and instrumentation. Application of equipment based on microprocessors in the medical industry is one the major factors fueling SPS market.

Demand is on a rise from areas such as signage and LED displays, gaming consoles, LCD/plasma televisions, and consumer electronic appliances. Switching Power Supplies are facing an increasing risk from Linear Power Supplies, owing to its expensive nature compared to the latter. With an advent of being fitted on high-power applications, LPS is gaining ground over SPS systems. However, recent advancements in designs, backed by superior topologies and power electronics, are enabling SPS designs to outperform linear designs.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "AC/DC Switching Power Supply (SPS): Global Market Trends" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
