TechNavio today launched its report Global Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor Market 2011-2015 based on an in-depth study covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Hardware team said: ”The trend toward miniaturization of electronic products is leading to the development of highly compact and miniaturized multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). MLCCs are widely used in consumer electronics products such as smartphones, tablet computers, laptops, netbooks and so on where the users prefer small and compact sizes. As the overall sizes of these electronic products reduce, the components that are embedded in them also need to be small in size. MLCCs are specially designed for small and miniaturized devices which require high-charge storage capacity. Thus miniaturization in electronic devices is leading to increasing demand for MLCCs.”
According to the report, the increasing demand for MLCCs in smartphones is a major growth driver for the Global MLCC market. Every smartphone uses approximately 400 capacitors. These capacitors are used to store and extend the battery life of the smartphones. The number of applications in smartphones has been increasing continuously over the years. This increase in the number of applications in smartphones will require capacitors which can store a much higher charge. The Global Smartphone market unit shipment is forecast to grow tremendously over the period 2011-2015 and this in turn is expected to contribute to the growth of the Global MLCC market.
Further, the report also discusses that the major challenge for the market is the effect of natural calamities.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players. For further information on this report, please visit http://goo.gl/d1pKW
