I am looking for a market research report on Motion Control. 
Specifically on lower power motor drivers < 5 watts.  Most of the
applications are in the consumer electronics space in things like
camcorders, digital still cameras, robotics, and printers.

Clarification of Question by bwhit01-ga on 31 Mar 2006 12:05 PST

To be clear there are applications in the Industrial and Medical
Spaces and we are interested in those spaces but most of the
applications are in consumer electronics.  I have been able to find
research reports on higher power motor drivers from companies like IMS
Research and Frost & Sullivan but that is not our groups competency. 
I work for Texas Instruments.

Hello bwhit01-ga,

I?ve discovered several market research organizations that have
produced reports on your target market in the past few years. In
addition, I?ve also included a selection of other resources in the
industry where you can continue your explorations.

Wishing you well for your research.
