Market Review and Outlook: This study covers Tantalum Ore, Engineered Tantalum Materials, Tantalum Capacitors, Superalloys, Cemented Carbides, Coatings and Liners, Lighting and Optics, and Emerging Markets for tantalum. Technical-Economic Forecasting: The study forecasts demand for tantalum based upon its unique attributes of capacitance, durability, corrosion and heat resistance; as well as its unique optical properties to 2013. Key Findings: The study addresses key issues facing the industry between 2008 and 2013, including the imminent price increases for the metal, its potential deficit supply; the forecast data for demand in capacitor anodes, cemented carbide cutting tools, nickel based superalloys, wear parts; coatings and liners; and its two unique markets in tantalum wire and tantalum targets. Critical Sections of The Report: Forecasted price increases for tantalum: 2008-2013 Forecasted deficits in ore supply to 2013. Shifts in the global market for ores and concentrates. Powder inventories in the supply chain. Volume of Consumption Requirements for Capacitors, Superalloys, Cemented Carbides and other key end- markets to 2013. Trends and Directions in capacitors, superalloys, cutting tools and wear parts. Complete lists of players at each profit center in the tantalum supply chain. Outlook for electronics, aircraft, automobiles, oil and gas, mining, power generation, and impact on tantalum demand to 2013. Strategies for Success: The study determines that demand for tantalum from the capacitor industry will collide with the need for tantalum in superalloys for aircraft and for special alloys used in medical implants. Who Should Buy This Report? This study should be used as a guide by the tantalum supply chain to manage the changes in the market as they occur, and to plan for them and profit from them.

Capacitor Foil: Global Market Outlook: 2008-2013
A Global Analysis of Thin Foil Stock and Etched Anode and Cathode Foils Consumed in The Global Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Industry With Forecasts To 2013

Market Review and Outlook:

This study addresses the global supply chain for electrolytic foils consumed in capacitors.  This is a narrow segment of the overall aluminum market, but is considered a value-added and application specific portion of the supply chain for aluminum metal.

Technical-Economic Forecasting:

The study forecasts demand for thin dielectric aluminum foils used in capacitor anodes and cathodes to 2013 based upon consumption in various types and configurations of aluminum capacitors. The study also addresses the competitive nature of aluminum as a dielectric when compared with competing technologies.

Key Findings:

The study addresses key issues that will face the industry between 2008 and 2013, including the impact of raw material price increases on capacitor manufacturers, and how competition for aluminum from multiple industries and regions will continue to impact the cost of goods sold in the capacitor industry over time.  The study also addresses these topics-

This new study from Paumanok Publications analyzes the value and volume of global consumption for ceramic dielectric materials in the electronic component industry. The study looks at the world market for brium titanate and its high-purity precursors- barium carbonate and titanium dioxide. It also looks at both the captive and merchant markets for barium titanate based upon hydrothermal, oxalate, and sol-gel processes. The study also loks at the market for X7R, X5R, COG and Y5V formulations. The study includes pricing for materials, market shares in formulations and barium titanate; and looks closely at consumption by customer in the MLCC and PTC segments. Market forecasts are give to 2013, ISBN # 0-929717-76-7 (2008).
