Archives - Circuit Protection Market Reports

This global market research report on electronic circuit protection components covers components used for both overvoltage and overcurrent protection. For overvoltage production, the study includes detailed chapters on metal oxide varistors, zener diodes, silicon avalanche diodes, thyristors, and gas discharge tubes.  For overcurrent protection the study takes a detailed look at the electronic fuse market (Solid matrix chip fuses, polymer PTC fuses, cartridge fuses, blade fuses), ceramic and polymer PTC thermistors, and NTC thermistors. The report includes global value, volume and value of consumption for circuit protection components by type; world region, and end-use market segment.  The study also includes detailed information on 100 manufacturers of circuit protection components, including market shares by component type.  Also included is the impact of recent changes on Telcordia and IEC specifications and their harmonization with respect to testing circuit protection components for ESD and lightning protection.  Forecasts are given to 2013. ISBN # 1-893211-22-3 (2008).

This study analyzes the global market for transient voltage surge suppressor components, with emphasis upon zener diodes, silicon avalanche diodes and thyristors. The study looks at value, volume and average unit pricing, technology changes, regulations and standards; competitive environment, sales and market shares by vendor; vertical integration of components into modules and forecasts to 2008. ISBN # 0-929717-93-7 (2004).

This global market research report analyzes the two most largely consumed temperature sensor devices- NTC and PTC thermistors, which are respectively known as negative temperature coefficient and positive temperature coefficient. The study offers and in-depth analysis of mixed metal oxide NTC thermistors and both ceramic and polymer PTC thermistors, including global value and volume of demand; average unit pricing and pricing trends, competitive analysis, sales and market shares, demand by end-use market segment (temperature sensors, heating elements, overcurrent protection) in automotive, telecommunications SLIC, white goods and brown goods and many other temperature sensor and circuit protection applications. Forecasts to 2008.  ISBN # 1-893211-30-4 (2004).

This study analyzes the global high growth market for zinc oxide varistors in chip and disc form. These devices, which are used exclusively for overvoltage protection in AC line voltage circuits and in digital portable electronics have experienced rapid growth in accordance with the development of the camera phone in Japan and Korea, where unit shipments continue to grow. Demand is also high in Europe, but price pressure is eroding margins worldwide. Automotive applications seem to be safe harbor from price erosion due to changing under-the-hood requirements. This study analyzes value, volume and average unit pricing, consumption by end use market, configuration and case size including the 0402, 0603. 0805, 1206, 1210+; and disc and valve block formats. Competitive environment, market shares and forecasts to 2008. ISBN # 1-893211-34-7 (2004).
