Ceramic Capacitors: World Markets, Technologies & Opportunities: 2012-2017

Ceramic Capacitors World Markets, Technology And Opportunities to 2017 is a Zogbi market research report covering the $10 billion global market for ceramic capacitors by type and configuration. This Zogbi report analyzes trends in terms of global consumption value, volume and pricing for ceramic capacitors.

Ceramic Capacitors World Markets, Technology and Opportunity report includes a Zogbi Market Forecast for global ceramic capacitor consumption to 2017. Markets are organized into demand by configuration- MLCC, SLC, MLC axial, MLC radial and chip array. Demand by performance (X7R, X5R, Y5V, NPO, X8R Other,) and demand by MLCC case size (01005, 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210 and above) and demand by world region and key consuming country (China, Japan, Germany, USA, Korea, Singapore, Mexico, Philippines, Malaysia, Brazil) is covered in the highly detailed report pioneered by Paumanok Publications and Dennis Zogbi since 1993.
