This study focuses on the global market for thick and thin film resistor chips, with emphasis upon thick film precious metal resistors composed of ruthenium or a ruthenate compound over a 96% ceramic alumina substrate. The study, analyzes global consumption by case size, tolerance, voltage rating, and power rating. The study addresses average unit price declines and forecasts the same through 2006. A competitive analysis is offered with all major participants, their unit market share and dollar market value. Forecasts to 2008.

This study addresses the global market for thick and thin film resistor networks and multichip arrays. The study focuses on demand by type, with emphasis upon dual-in-line package (DIP), single-in-line package (SIP), multichip array, and thin film integrated passive devices. Packaging issues are addressed (molded chip versus BGA) as is demand by circuit configuration (bussed, isolated, R2R Ladder networks and RC networks). Trends are given in demand in the array segment with respect to quads and octels, as well as castellated designs. Global value and volume of consumption by world region and end-use market segment is addressed as is the competitive environment (thick film versus thin film); and forecasts to 2008.

This report offers a detailed analysis of the value-added throughole resistor market which has traditionally been dominated by Vishay, Panasonic and TT Electronics; and includes nickel-chromium (NiChrome) metal film resistors; wirewound resistors; flame proof tin oxide resistorss (Antimony 10), bulk metal foil; carbon film resistors and the defunct carbon composition resistors. The study looks at the largely industrial electronic environments where these unique resistors are used because of their power handling, voltage and high resistance capabilities. Demand by type, configuration (axial and radial) and resistance value is analyzed as well as competition, market shares and the overall competitive encironment in the value-added portion of the fixed resistor business. Forecasts to 2008.
