The Market for Thermal Management Technologies

May 22, 2008

Wellesley, Mass—According to a new technical market research report, The Market for Thermal Management Technologies (SMC024E) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for thermal management was worth $6.1 billion in 2007. This is expected to increase to $6.8 billion in 2008 and $11.1 billion by the end of 2013, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%.

Thermal management hardware (e.g. fans and blowers, heat sinks, etc.) accounts for more than 80% of the total thermal management market. The other main thermal management product segments (software, interface materials, and substrates) each account for between about 4% and 6% of the market.

The largest end markets for thermal management technologies in 2007 were the computer industry (57% of total revenues), telecommunications (16%), and industrial/military electronics (9%).  By 2013, medical and office electronics should have moved into a tie for second place with telecommunications, each with a 12% market share, followed by consumer electronics (8%). 

The Americas, consisting of the U.S. and Latin America, will maintain their number one position throughout the period under review, with a market share of just under 40%, followed by Asia-Pacific with around 23% to 24%. The Asia-Pacific countries (except Japan) are not only the second-largest market in absolute terms, but they also have the highest projected growth rate.
