Abstract
REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
- The U.S. market for electrostatic discharge (ESD) technologies was $1.1
billion in 2007. It is expected to reach $1.6 billion by 2012, a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
- Packaging products, worth $368.8 million in 2007, have the largest share
of the market and will be worth $621 million by 2012 with a projected 9.9%
CAGR.
- The U.S. remains the largest producer and consumer of ESD goods.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- Descriptions of various types of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
technologies including those used for packaging, static control polymers,
furniture, apparel, flooring and electronics
- The current U.S. market status for ESD products, with trends and forecasts
for growth over the next 5 years
- Technological issues including the latest trends and a thorough patent
analysis
- Analysis of the ESD industry, both from a market and application
perspective
- Company profiles.
METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
The data in this report were obtained from both primary and secondary sources.
Executives, engineers, managers, researchers, and salespeople from companies
and research institutions involved in the development, production, and/or
usage of ESD materials were interviewed. Other data were obtained from an
exhaustive review of patent literature and government databases, as well as
scientific, trade, and business journals. BCC newsletters, reports, and
conferences provided additional information.
