2008 ANNUAL CRL REPORT: Passive Electronic Compnents: World Market Outlook: 2008-2013 ISBN 1-893211-99-1 (2008)

This is the global market analysis for passive electronic components, including capacitors, linear resistors and discrete inductors. Global value, volume and average pricing is given for capacitors by dielectric, resistors by element and inductors by type. Demand is also given in terms of world region and end-use market segment. Market shares by component type are given for FY 2008 Ending March; and technological developments in FY 2008 by manufacturer. Competitive analysis is given for the top 18 global manufacturers of passive components and forecasts are given to 2013. This is a complete update to the 2007 report of the same name. This report also looks at new technology developments by manufacturer and component type and makes some interesting conclusions based upon tactical technology changes for 2009 affecting passive components and the markets into which they are sold. This study is detailed in unit shipment data, as well as value and ASP data. Each component is individually tracked and includes ceramic, aluminum, tantalum, DC film, AC film capacitors; thick film chip, network, array, IPD, nichrome, wirewound, tin-oxide, carbon resistors; and wirewound chip coil and ferrite bead, array and multilayered chip inductors. Forecasts to 2013 worldwide.
