Ceramic Capacitors - World Review

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Ceramic Capacitors - World Review

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164549/Ceramic-Capacitors---World-Review.html

Ceramic capacitors are one of the most widely used types of discrete capacitors owing to their functional utility, small size and low cost. Global ceramic capacitors market is primarily dependent on the multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) demand. Ceramic capacitor market has been led by a steady stream of investment in high-capacitance designs in Y5V, X7R and X5R dielectrics. Producers are expending an increasing share of revenues on R&D in order to extend the product range to include alternative dielectrics such as aluminum and tantalum. Apart from the key shift towards chips of greater capacitance, expansion of specialty axial/radial leaded offerings by several producers marked yet another important development.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Ceramic Capacitors: World Review" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
