Passive Electronic Components: World Market Outlook
February 23, 2009 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
MONTREAL The Paumanok Publications research group of Electronics.ca Publications released a report on the passives market, considering capacitors, resistors, and inductors, and the components' materials. The report was designed for end-users of passive electronic components that need to update their supply chain information for passive parts on an annual basis. It includes input from major purchasers of passive electronic components.
"Passive Electronic Components: World Market Outlook" forecasts global consumption volume, value, and pricing for capacitors, resistors, and inductors, including MLCC, aluminum, tantalum, DC film and AC film capacitors; thick film chip resistors, resistor networks, integrated passive devices; metal film resistors, tin-oxide resistors, wirewound resistors, carbon film resistors; multilayered chip inductors, ferrite beads, and bead arrays and wirewound inductor coils.
The report finds that markets are down by an estimated 18% year-over-year (fiscal year ending March), concluding that price erosion and lower shipment volumes contributed to the decline. All component sectors declined, and most regions of the globe were significantly impacted. The report makes future price, value, and volume forecasts for each passive component, including a long-term outlook through 2014.
It also provides analysis of each end-use market segment including wireless handsets, personal computers, television sets, automotive electronics, large home appliances, power supplies, infrastructure, lighting, defense, and medical end-use market segments. These are used to make short- and long-term assumptions about each of the key passive electronic components.
The top vendors of passive components are discussed, including AVX/Kyocera Corporation, EPCOS AG, Kemet Electronics, KOA Corporation (RIC: 6999), Nichicon Corporation (RIC 6996); Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation (RIC: 6997), Panasonic Electronic Devices Company Limited, Murata Manufacturing Limited, Rohm Company Limited, Rubycon Corporation, Samsung Electro-Mechanical (KSE: 009150):, Sumida Electric Company Limited (RIC: 6817), Taiyo Yuden Corporation, TOKO Inc, Tokin Corporation/NEC, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., Walsin Technology, and Yageo Corporation.
