Product Code: R177-34Description Paumanok Publications, Inc. has released its market research report entitled “Capacity Expansion In The Global Ceramic Capacitor Industry: 2007;” which addresses the planned capacity expansion of multilayered ceramic chip capacitor manufacturing capabilities in Japan, China, Korea, Europe and the Americas for 2007.
Reason for the Report:
This report reconciles forecasted capacity expansion in units by ceramic capacitor manufacturer, with forecasted consumption by end-use market segment and concludes where too much capacity is being added and where too little is planned.
Why This Report Is Important:
This report is important because it is being released at a time when there is a substantial amount of concern within the supply chain and from the financial community about the ceramic capacitor market performing as planned. This study takes a complete look at the demand side of the equation, and then correlates the customers needs with the planned capacity expansion in MLCC technology (High Cap) and MLCC case size (Ultra-Small) and a different picture emerges, one where certain companies selling MLCC are expanding their production bases in accordance with customer demands; and others are expanding to keep in step with their competitors. This results in an interesting disparity- too much capacity for a single end-use market segment, and not enough for other market segments.
Scope of The Report:
This capacitor industry report is intended to be the most comprehensive and useful technical-economic analysis available on multilayered ceramic chip capacitor markets, manufacturers and their planned capacity expansion for 2007.
The study addresses the planned capacity expansion by manufacturer in key segments, with emphasis upon high capacitance MLCC in the X5R, X7R and Y5V market segments; and the expansion in the ultra-small case size MLCC in 01005, 0201 and 0402 MLCC case sizes.
The study also addresses consumption trends in end-use product markets for 2007 with emphasis upon high MLCC content product markets, such as “converged” handsets; flat panel display HDTV; dual core microprocessors and automotive electronic subassemblies; and other important specialty segments.

All major vendors of MLCC are discussed in this report, including Murata Manufacturing Limited (RIC: 6981) • TDK Corporation (RIC: 6762) • Yageo Corporation (TW: 2327) • Kyocera/AVX Corporation (RIC: 6791; NYSE: AVX) • Walsin Technology Corporation • Samsung EMCO (KSE: 009150) • Taiyo Yuden Corporation (RIC: 6979) • Panasonic Electronic Devices • Kemet Elecronics (NYSE: KEM) • Ghuangdong Fenghua Advanced Technology (SZN: 000636) • Holy Stone Enterprise Company Limited (TW: 5345) • Team Young Advanced Ceramics Company Limited (TW: 5345) • EPCOS Austria (NYSE: EPC) • Vishay Migdel Haamek (NYSE: VSH) • Rohm Company Limited (RIC: 6963), as well as their materials vendors,
