The power management design is an analog circuit and is highly dependent on the manufacturing process technology. The current common solutions for power management include discrete components, PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuits), and power modules. Among them, PMICs are the core component of smartphones. At present, PMICs are mostly used in smartphones and consumer electronics products. With the development of smartphone processors shifting towards more advanced manufacturing processes, high-precision, high-efficiency PMICs, and power semiconductor components have become increasingly important. This report provides an overview of the global PMIC industry and market development, looks into the development of the smartphone PMIC industry and its supply chain, comprising smartphone application processors, smartphones, and smartphone PMIC, and examines the development of Chinese smartphone PMIC suppliers.
