This is the 2005 analysis of the global inductor markets with emphasis upon molded, multi-layered and wirewound chip inductors; ferrite bead, bead arrays and ferrite core markets worldwide. This study covers all mass electronic applications for inductors. Due to the difficulty of collecting data on the subject of magnetics, this study is based upon primary intelligence from the top inductor vendors in Japan, China, Europe and the United States. Includes value, volume and average unit selling price trends and directions; competitive environment, consumption by end-use market segment and forecasts to 2008.
