Ceramic Capacitors: World Markets, Technologies & Opportunities: 2012-2017 ISBN # 1-893211-25-8

This is a market research analysis that covers the $10 billion global market for ceramic capacitors by type and configuration. The market research analysis analyzes historical trends in terms of global consumption value, volume and pricing for ceramic capacitors and forecasts their global consumption to 2017. Market segmentation is broken down into demand by configuration- MLCC, SLC, MLC axial, MLC radial and chip array; demand by performance (X7R, X5R, Y5V, NPO, X8R Other,); demand by MLCC case size (01005, 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210 and above); demand by world region and key consuming country (China, Japan, Germany, USA, Korea, Singapore, Mexico, Philippines, Malaysia, Brazil). Market shares are given on a year-over-year basis for the top 23 manufacturers from 2008-2012; and quarterly market shares are also given for the top tier manufacturers. Market shares are also assessed by world region. Ceramic capacitor consumption volume in key end products is also addressed, including handsets, notebooks, desktop computers, tablets and ultrabooks, TV sets, automobiles, other consumer AV equipment and industrial and specialty electronics is also addressed; as is consumption by end-use market segment, including wireless telecommunications, computing, consumer AV, automobiles, power supplies, telecom infrastructure, defense electronics, medical electronics, lighting ballasts, instrumentation and oil and gas electronics. Additional market breakdowns are given for high capacitance MLCC versus picofarad capacitors. A technology overview and technology trend assessment, as well as a segment on costs to produce ceramic capacitors is also covered. Forecasts based upon type, configuration, capacitance, performance, end-use market segment and key consuming country to 2017. ISBN # 1-893211-25-8 (Published February 2012, 177 pages, 99 Figures).
