Abstract
NTC thermistors demonstrate a decrease in resistance when subjected to an
increase in body temperature. This makes them unique in their functionality
compared to other electronic components. It also makes them unique in their
exposure to difficult market conditions in 2009, especially in automotive and
home appliance market segments. This study addresses the global market for NTC
thermistors by type, configuration, application, world region, competition,
forecats for auto consumption, forecasts for home appliance consumption, and
forecasts for NTC consumption in digital electronics. NTC as sensor has
exposure to auto ans home appliance segments which are dropping off rapidly
and impacting 70% of and value creation for 2009. Market Forecasts to 2014. |
