This capacitor industry report is intended to be the most comprehensive and useful technical–economic analysis available on multilayered ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitor markets, manufacturers and their planned capacity expansion for 2007.
The study addresses the planned capacity expansion by manufacturer in key segments, with emphasis upon high capacitance MLCC in the X5R, X7R and Y5V market segments and the expansion in the ultra-small case size MLCC in 01005, 0201 and 0402 MLCC case sizes.
The study also addresses consumption trends in end-use product markets for 2007 with emphasis upon high MLCC content product markets, such as "converged" handsets, flat panel display HDTV, dual core microprocessors and automotive electronic subassemblies, and other important specialty segments.
