Thin Film Resistors: World Markets, Technologies & Opportunities: 2015-2020

A Bright Future For Precision Thin Film ResistorsDemand 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.

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.

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.

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. Figure 17: FORECASTS: Global Value and Volume of NTC Thermistor Consumption in Automotive Electronic Subassemblies: 2014-2019

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).

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.

4.6,EDL,Carbon,Supercapacitor,Vendors:,,Global,Market,Shares:,2013,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.

Aluminum Processing

Source: Paumanok Publications, Inc.

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.

High Temperature Capacitors (>175 Degrees C): World Markets, Technologies & Opportunities: FY 2012-2017 ISBN # 1-893211-90-8 (2012)Forecasted changes in temperature requirements in defense and downhole pump electronics have challenged the capacitor industry to produce new products that can operate in exceedingly higher temperatures for longer time periods of time. For years the operating temperature and available capacitance values of competing high temperature dielectrics was limited to about 200 degrees C and picofarad levels of capacitance. There was also the added problem of limited volumetric efficiency of the capacitors being consumed. Therefore, the trend has been to increase the operating temperature of the capacitors competing in the space, to increase the available capacitance values of the capacitors competing in the space, and to expand the product offering with respect to capacitor case size, configuration and performance for extended periods of time at such high temperatures. Multiple dielectrics are now employed to operate at elevated temperatures and include ceramic, tantalum, plastic film, mica, solid aluminum, glass, silicon, diamond-like and aluminum oxynitride. Ceramic, tantalum, plastic film, glass and diamond-like capacitors have established reliability in the high temperature arena, while solid aluminum, silicon and aluminum oxynitride are emerging technologies. Because of the end-markets into which these high temperature capacitors are sold include both defense and oil & gas related electronic sub-assemblies, these high temperature capacitors are usually subjected to additional rigors of extreme environments in addition to extreme temperatures, including enhanced vibration frequencies, high voltage environments, and radiation exposure. Subsequently failure modes for these “application specific” capacitors include delamination, tomb-stoning, thermal stress cracking, wild fluctuations in capacitance with temperature; and questionable insulation resistance. This study addresses the growing market for capacitors in the 175 degree C to 450 degree C operating temperature range, and forecasts the rate of global consumption over the next five years.

Testimonials

“Paumanok provided us good information related to market research in the field of film capacitors and passive components in general. Magazines and papers from PCIM and Paumanok are good references for our industry.” Antonio Carlos Marsiglia, President and CEO EPCOS Electronic Components

Limiting the attribute choices to three in Paumanok’s case is not fair. Paumanok meets all of the criteria equally and with high standards for each. I initially met the CEO when researching electronic components made in China, we procured Paumanok’s work and subsequently hired them to assist with multiple research projects. Paumanok is definitely a true professional and expert in the work and has taught me much during a relationship which I consider to be not only valuable but one which has become trusted and personal.” Len Zuga, Battelle Memorial Institute

“Paumanok is a true treasure. In addition to his intellectual prowess, market research brilliance, and innovative capacity, the company is also committed to the community and the family. As I think about the wisdom found credited to many of the great leaders in history I realize that the Paumanok CEO could have easily been the source. Paumanok is a refreshing source of out-of the-box thinking, lateral insights, and profound analytical skills. If I'm betting, I'm betting with Paumanok.” Brent Ward, Director of Commercialization at RTI International

“Paumanok is the premier authority in the tantalum supply/demand chain. Paumanok maintains close contact with all levels of industry to ensure that his work is wide ranging and up to date. I highly recommend Paumanok work and the CEO is an easy guy to communicate with.” Bryan Ellis, CEO Global Advanced Metals- Cabot Supermetals.

“I have known Paumanok for over 20 years and over that period I have used his reports, expertise and guidance on a regular basis to support strategy development” Dr. Daniel Persico, Business Development, NEC-Tokin Electronics
