FOCUS OF THE REPORT: This market, technologies & opportunities report
from Paumanok Publications, Inc. is an update to the popular 2005 title. This
study provides an in-depth analysis of value-added and application specific
ceramic capacitor world markets, including high voltage ceramic capacitors
>500 Vdc,, high frequency ceramic capacitors > 1 Ghz, high temperature ceramic
capacitors >200 Degrees C; Ceramic feed thru capacitors; Ceramic safety
capacitors (X&Y) and automotive under-the-hood ceramic capacitors for
applications between 125 degrees C and 175 degrees C for applications in
specialty segments of the power conversion, telecom infrastructure, medical
test & scan, medical implant, defense, lighting and automotive market segments.
REASON FOR THE REPORT: As mass produced ceramic capacitor products move
to low-cost manufacturing regions, ceramic capacitor manufacturers in Japan,
the United States and Western Europe must re-evaluate their existing
production facilities in high-cost regions, and reposition their product
portfolios to address markets that will most probably stay localized. The
majority of these markets require value-added and application-specific ceramic
capacitors that address high voltage, high frequency and/or high temperature
and harsh environment requirements. This market study sheds light on the
fragmented, low volume, high value, highly profitable portion of the global
ceramic capacitor industry.
BENEFITS OF THE REPORT: This report gives detailed intelligence data on
the specialty segment of the global ceramic capacitor market, where operating
margins are the highest and where price is secondary to component quality and
performance. As the low picofarad MLCC markets become inundated with
suppliers, companies with smaller economies of scale must refocus all or part
of their product portfolio. This new focus should include application specific
ceramic capacitors to increase profit margins and delay the continued price
erosion in their overall ceramic capacitor product offering. This analysis
sheds light on the fragmented, diverse, but highly profitable segment of the
global ceramic capacitor industry.
