Paumanok Publications, Inc. announces the release of its 2007 report on the global supply chain for dielectric films to the capacitor industry with forecasts to 2014. The study focuses on all known film dielectrics consumed in capacitors, with emphasis upon OPP, PET, PPS and PEN films. This report is a comprehensive global market analysis for plastic dielectric films consumed in capacitors including OPP, PET, PPS, PEN and other exotic dielectric films. Includes value, volume and average prices for metallized and unmetallized film consumed in the capacitor industry for both AC and DC applications.Film consumption forecasts through 2014 are determined based upon film dielectric consumption by capacitor type and sub-category. Sales and market share data for Toray, Bollore, Steiner, Mitsubishi, Teijin/Du Pont, Tervakoski, Birkelbach, SKC, Filmet, Treofan, KopaFilm, Borealis and Shin-etsu.

This study offers a detailed analysis of ceramic dielectric materials consumed in the global ceramic capacitor market. This study analyzes global consumption of barium titanate by processing method inclouding solid state, alk-oxide, hydrothermal, oxalate and sol-gel processes. The study shows the value and volume of demand for both merchant and captive production of barium titanate and various formulations. The study shows the technology trends and directions with respect to dielectric thickness, and analyzes the markets for formulations by type including X7R, NPO, Y5V, X5R, X8R and others. The study also shows demand by capacitor manufacturer, captive versus merchant consumption by manufacturer and materials matching systems with electrode and termination materials. Competitive analysis and sales and market shares are discussed. Forecasts to 2008.

This 42 page report addresses the historical changes in the MLCC electrode business and its transition to nickel and its affect on global consumption of palladium and palladium/silver electrodes in the ceramic chip capacitor market space. Forecasts are given to 2010.
