List: 60 power electronics transactions in 2007

There were 60 completed power electronics transactions in 2007, 76% higher than the 34 recorded in 2006 and more than six times the number of deals in 2004. Transactions doubled in Q4 to 25 versus the 13 recorded in both Q2 and Q3 as firms pushed to close by year end.

Lincolninternational believes that these statistics substantiate the consolidation occurring in the power electronics industry. Availability of capital, declining stock prices, price pressure from Asian suppliers and aggressive acquisition strategies from larger, well–financed power companies all contribute to industry-wide consolidation. Larger power companies are increasingly looking to grow by acquisition in an effort to expand into new geographies, access new customers, penetrate vertical markets, broaden product portfolios and obtain specific technologies. Power electronics transactions continue to be heavily weighted toward power supplies and power systems representing 47% of the total number of deals in 2007, and up 47% from a year ago.
