Thin Film Resistors: World Markets, Technologies & Opportunities:
2015-2020
A Bright Future For Precision Thin Film Resistors
Demand for thin film resistors and integrated passive devices are increasing because of the
precision nature of the thin film components and the added volumetric efficiency that
integrated passive device manufacturers can offer the design engineer. Prices for these
advanced technologies are also coming down as economies of scale increase.
Bright Outlook Forecasted for Thin Film Resistor Chips and Networks:
We can ascertain from Paumanok Publications Industrial Market Research and from
primary sources that one area of market growth over the next five years will be in thin film
chip resistors as they continue to displace thick film (Ru02 type) resistors for traditional and
specialty circuit applications. For CY 2014, we estimate the global market for thin film
resistors, arrays, networks and integrated passive devices at $183 million US Dollars, the
majority of which is in thin film nickel-chromium chips on alumina substrates. The initial
areas of greatest impact where thin film resistors are and will continue to be in greatest
demand will be in niche categories where precision, corrosion resistance, high temperature
and volumetric efficiency come together. The increased production volume of thin film chip
resistors, especially in Taiwan and China, will continue to create increasingly larger
economies of scale and lower average unit pricing, which will in turn make thin film chips
more in line with traditional thick film pricing (Many in China feel we have already reached
that point of parity in price). According to thin film chip resistor manufacturers, due to the
reliance of thick film chip resistor manufacturers on ruthenium metal, a Platinum Group
Metal (PGM) product that is subject to dramatic historical swings in price due to the
difficulties of mining in South Africa, the movement toward a base metal substitute is also in
the best interest of the customer. One method of manufacturing thin film resistor chips is
through the sputtering of nickel chromium on an alumina substrate. Additional techniques
are based upon the use of tantalum nitride on silicon; and/or chromium silicide on silicon
(among others). The new market research report from Paumanok Publications, Inc. goes
on to discuss the global markets, technologies and opportunities associated with thin film
resistors, arrays, networks and flatpacks; regional demand; end-market and product
demand; demand by world region, competitive environment, sales and market shares and
five year forecasts. To review the detailed table of contents and list of figures- go here.

Value-Added & Application Specific Ceramic
Capacitors: World Markets, Technologies &
Opportunities: 2015-2020 ISBN # 1-893211-90-8
(2015)
Cary, NC USA: This market, technologies & opportunities report
from Paumanok Publications, Inc. entitled "Value-Added &
Application Specific Ceramic Capacitors: World Markets,
Technologies & Opportunities: 2015-2020" has been
researched and written to provide the reader with an in-depth
analysis of value-added and application specific ceramic
capacitor world markets, including high voltage ceramic
capacitors, high frequency ceramic capacitors, high
temperature ceramic capacitors; ceramic feed thru capacitors;
ceramic safety capacitors (X&Y) and automotive under-the-
hood ceramic capacitors for applications in specialty segments
of the power conversion, telecom infrastructure, medical test &
scan, medical implant, defense, oil & gas, semiconductor
manufacturing equipment, specialty lighting and automotive
market segments. As mass produced ceramic capacitor
products move to low-cost manufacturing regions, ceramic
capacitor manufacturers in Japan, Korea, China, USA,
Germany, UK and France must re-evaluate their existing
production facilities in high-cost regions, and reposition their
product portfolios to address markets that will remain localized.
The majority of these markets require value-added and
application-specific ceramic capacitors that can operate under
high reliability specifications and in harsh environments. This
market study sheds light on the fragmented, low volume, high
value, high profit portion of the global ceramic capacitor
industry. 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 to address more profitable
segments of the market. 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, and to understand the
competitive environment, demand by world region, pricing,
technology, and opportunities with detailed forecasts to 2020.

4.2.1$Multilayered$Ceramic$Chip$Varistors:$
The multilayered chip varistor is a stacked ceramic device that employs varying layers of ceramic (usually zinc oxide, but also
variations on titanate ceramics may also be employed) between layers of precious metals (usually palladium + silver
electrodes). Multilayered ceramic chip varistors are used in portable electronics for protection against electrostatic discharge.
Larger chips are also employed for larger surge handling capability in computers, industrial, professional and consumer
electronic devices. Case sizes are available in the ultra-small 01005 to the larger 2220 (or larger) chips.

2.1.3 (F5a) 6 to 30 Vdc Applications (Round Type PPTC):
The round type polymer PTC thermistors consumed for 6 to 30 Vdc applications are ultra-small in their diameter size and
consumed for their volumetric efficiency. However, their surge handling capability is limited in comparison to their square
type counterparts. This is a high volume market for applications in computers, especially in USB port applications and for
hard disc drive applications.
2.1.3 (F5b) 60/72 Vdc Applications (Round Type PPTC):
In round type PPTC thermistors there are many specific overlapping applications in consumer and professional electronics
markets. This is because the diameter sizes offer the combination of high voltage, surge handling capability and volumetric
efficiency.
2.1.3 (F5c) 90 and 250 Vdc Applications (Round Type PPTC):
The 90 Vdc round type PPTC thermistor is unique for applications in subscriber line interface cards (once again, we see the
majority of these applications in Asia). There is also a round PPTC 250 Vdc version for SLIC applications in telecom circuits
as is shown in the table above.

NTC Thermistors: World Markets, Technologies & Opportunities:
2014-2019
NTC thermistors demonstrate a decrease in resistance when subjected to an
increase in temperature. This makes them unique in their functionality compared
to other electronic components. It also makes them unique in their exposure to
specific end-markets such as automotive and home appliance market segments.
The business has also gained increased focus by many vendors and customers
in the automotive segment because of its use for temperature sensing and
compensation and as a low cost solution for wearable electronics and connected
devices used in the emerging Internet of Things (IoT). This study addresses the
global market for NTC thermistors by type, configuration, application, world
region, competition, and contains forecasts to 2016. The study begins with an
overview of thermistor technology and component configurations including
Leaded Thermistors, such as NTC Thermistor Radial Leaded, Glass
Encapsulated: NTC Thermistor Radial Leaded, Epoxy Encapsulated, NTC
Thermistor Radial Leaded, Inrush Current Limiting:, NTC Thermistor Radial
Leaded, Thin Film Design, NTC Thermistor Radial Leaded, Commodity Disc:;
NTC Thermistor Axial Leaded, Glass Encapsulated; and Surface Mount
Thermistors, such as NTC Thermistor Chip (Multilayered) , NTC Thermistor
MELF Designs, NTC Thermistor Leadless Naked Chip and NTC Thermistor
Leadless Discs. The study also looks at the conversion of NTC thermistor
components into probe assemblies and related markets in automotive, home
appliance and specialty End-Use market segments. The study takes a detailed
look at applications and end-markets for NTC thermistors in various automotive
sub-assemblies including under-the-hood and beyond the firewall environments
for temperature sensing and compensation. The study also looks at the large and
small home appliance business segment for NTC thermistors, including key
sensing and compensation market applications in refrigerators and air
conditioners as well as other large and small home appliances. The study also
looks at NTC thermistor chip and disc temperature compensation and sensing
markets in digital electronics (SMPS, Computer, Handset)and in industrial
electronics (Ballasts and Motors), including markets for inrush current limiters.
Other markets, Including specialty applications in defense, medical and
instrumentation are also addressed. The Product market section offers detailed
analysis of global consumption value, volume and pricing, as well as demand by
end-use market segment and by world region, as well as demand by
configuration and thermistor sub-type. Chip demand is addressed in case sizes.
The competitive segment of the report analyzes competition among the top 20
NTC thermistor vendors based upon competition by configuration, competition by
radial leaded sub-type, competition by chip case size, and competition by end-
use product markets. The forecast segment offers estimated for consumption of

5.2.18.4#FORECASTS:#NTC#Thermistor#Consumption#Value#and#Volume#By#Automotive#Subassembly:#2014#R2019#Forecasts#
We forecast that the global production of vehicles will increase from 91.4 million units worldwide in 2014 to an estimated 108.7
million units in 2019. We estimate that NTC thermistor content will increase by about 5% per automobile during this time period in
unit volume to support the expansion of heating sensing and compensation in a larger number of standard automobiles; and we also
forecast that there will be more competition in the automotive NTC thermistor markets brought about by the insistence of automotive
manufacturers for suppliers dedicated to their industry. The larger number of competitors will also drive down price per unit overall;
however, demand in value will increase to an estimated $250 million USD. This is a good growth market for NTC thermistor
vendors.

2.8#NTC#Thermistor#Production#Process:#
There is a direct correlation between the methods for producing ceramic capacitors and NTC thermistors, even though NTC
thermistors are manufactured from metal oxides and ceramic capacitors are titanate based. (Moreover, there are direct correlations
between production of ceramic PTC thermistors, ceramic capacitors, NTC thermistors and zinc-oxide varistors. Many companies
included in this study produce all of the above under one roof because of the similar production proceses).

milestone because it extends the total available market for high capacitance MLCC further into the tantalum chip and solid polymer
aluminum chip capacitor segment and enables the early vendors who developed this product line to generate a price premium until the
market becomes saturated with additional vendors. The technology roadmap for high capacitance MLCC suggests that by the year 2023
that the 100 µF X5R at 6.3 Vdc will be available in the 0603 case size (See Figure 1.1).

chip capacitor in X5R is available in the ultra-small 0201 case size. The future area of competition among vendors will be to create a 1-
microfarad MLCC in the even smaller 01005 case-size, and to expand the 0201 case size to 2.2 microfarad. The ultra-small case size

CY 2013 Year End and 2014 Global Market Outlook For Circuit Protection Components:
After a devastating 23% drop in the global value of consumption for circuit protection components between 2008 and 2009, the
market rebounded by 25% to $5,254 million USD for 2010. In 2011 the market grew by an additional 7% on a year-over-year basis as
a result of the global economic stimulus packages invested by China, The USA and Western Europe in their respective economies. In
2012 however, the market declined by 5.5% as the European economy sank and entered an extended period of austerity, which in turn
impacted the China growth rate, which was curtailed due to lack of European Union buying power. In 2013 the global economic
slump continued as anemic market demand was only sufficient enough to increase demand by 1.7% to $5,404 million USD, however,
for 2014 we noe forecast a better increase in global market demand- up 5.2% to an estimated $5,684 million USD for the year.

supercapacitors back in 1993 as they made the delicate transition from a defense
manufacturer to a commercial supplier of components. The company also used to own
Sierra KD Components in Carson City, a manufacturer of specialty ceramic capacitors,
which they sold to Kemet Electronics. The company also owns MOntena Components in
Europe, a producer of high voltage OPP film capacitors for power transmission and
distribution. Maxwell has been very successful in the large can supercapacitor business
and has been one of its staunchest supporters. The company has invested million of
dollars in the commercialization of large can supercapacitors and module assemblies.
Their latest presentations to Wall Straet confirm their revenues in EDLC supercapacitors
and ensure their market share in the number one position worldwide for CY 2013.
4.6$(A2)$Panasonic$(Japan):$
Panasonic is the oldest continuous manufacturer of supercapacitors in the world, and their
Goldcap® offers one of the broadest and most in-depth product offerings for low voltage
printed circuit board applications in the world. The company is focused on small coin
cell and cylindrical designs and sells the majority of the product line for applications in
consumer AV and computer related products. In a face-to-face meeting with the

This chart shows the revenue estimates for FY 2013. Of course with recent
developments at Maxwell we will have to remove at least 6% from this estimate, but that
does not take away from their market leadership position, followed by Panasonic and
their Gold cap, which is largely consumed in professional and consumer electronics,
NCC, Nichicon,and Shizuki who have large can EDLC solutions for power and industrial
applications and have the existing channels of distribution and customer access for
success in their aluminum and film capacitors. Other major players include NEC Tokin,
which will be acquired by Kemet for FY 2014, Elna and NESS; there are also 31
additional vendors with less than 2% share as noted in the column on the left. One take
away from this chart is that there are too many vendors for such a small market.

About The Report:

This new market research study from Paumanok Publications, Inc. offers visibility
to a granular level on the supply chain for anode and cathode foils to the aluminum
electrolytic capacitor industry. The study shows the value and volume of demand
for thin gage foil consumed in the capacitor industry, as well as the value and
volume of etched and formed anode and cathode foils consumed in the aluminum
electrolytic capacitor industry. The study breaks down the complex merchant and
captive markets for capacitor foils and shows which capacitor manufacturers etch
and form their own foils; and which third party companies are active in supplying
ready to use etched anode and cathode foils to the global capacitor industry. The
study shows the historical growth in the market over the past decade and shows
trends in pricing for capacitor grade anode and cathode foils. The study shows a
detailed break-down of the costs to produce aluminum electrolytic capacitors by
type and configuration and illustrates the value of foil consumption in radial leaded,
vertical chip, snap mount, screw terminal, solid polymer aluminum chip, motor start
and axial leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Global market shares for thin
foil suppliers to the capacitor industry are given; as well as market shares for thin
foil supply of 99.8% cathode foils and 99.9% anode foils. Forecasts in terms of
value, volume and pricing for capacitor foils is given from 2013 to 2018 as well as
end-market drivers in consumer audio and video imaging; computer and
peripheral; power supplies, renewable energy, automotive, telecom power, and
specialty markets are addressed. Forecasts are given for capacitor foil
consumption by capacitor configuration to 2018. 98 Pages, Published March 1,

Aluminum Processing
Energy Costs:
Energy costs can impact the aluminum production process. Smelting alumina into
aluminum requires a constant, large supply of electricity, which accounts for around 25%
of the costs of the entire smelting process. If energy costs become too high, smelters
may be forced to shut down or move to a location where energy costs are lower. On the
other hand, a decrease in energy costs can allow previously closed smelters to reopen,
which would increase the supply of aluminum and lower prices.
Capacitor$Foil$Production:$
The primary raw material consumed in the manufacture of aluminum electrolytic
capacitors is thin gage aluminum foil. This foil must be etched and electrochemically
formed before it can be wound as the dielectric support material for the finished
aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The etching process is the single most expensive
process in the production of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Most major world
manufacturers of aluminum electrolytic capacitors attempt to control their processing
costs by owning and operating their own foil processing plants. But no major
manufacturers of aluminum electrolytic capacitors own aluminum foil feedstock plants,
so the general starting point in the supply chain is the purchase of the thin, high-purity
foil direct from the merchant market. Japanese companies dominate the thin foil stock
supply to the global aluminum electrolytic capacitor markets worldwide. This includes
sales to the capacitor manufacturers who etch and form their capacitor foils in house and
those merchant market vendors who etch and form foils for resale to the capacitor
industry.
