Market forecast of DC surface mount capacitors from 2007 to 2014 2

From a structural perspective, DC film surface mount capacitors using PEN, PPS, and PET seem to be the main growth products for the next five years. Lead type capacitors, mainly radial lead capacitors, general-purpose 5mm PET film capacitors, X and Y radial lead capacitors, will decline, as will the AC and pulse markets for CRT demagnetization circuits. Therefore, most film capacitor suppliers are focusing on thin-film surface mount capacitors, as this is the fastest-growing field in the future. According to the pricing level of distributors, the price of NPO ceramics will account for 30% of SMD surface mount capacitors, so this market is limited to high-end audio and video imaging circuits, power supplies, and automotive electronic components, where the characteristics of thin films are extremely necessary in circuits.diode
