Abstract
This report addresses the global market for PTC thermistors in both ceramic
and polymer construction; and in their various configurations- radial, surface
mount and axial strap; as well as their vertical integration into probe
assemblies. The study shows a ten year historical assessment of the global
value and volume of consumption for PTC thermistors by type between 1998 and
2008 with forecasts to 2013. An analysis of price erosion for PTC thermistors
by type is also given, with reasons for price erosion given by type. Markets
for ceramic PTC thermistors are broken down into overcurrent protection,
thermal overload protection and temperature sensing; while markets for polymer
PTC thermistors are broken out by overcurrect protection and thermal
protection (batteries). A detailed end-market assessment is given for
subscriber line interface cards, DC motors, consumer electronics and lighting
ballasts. Demand by world region is discussed, with forecasts for each region
to 2013. Sales and market shares for the top vendors by technology is given,
as is a detailed look at each known vendor by technology (39 vendors overall).
Technology assessment, trends and directions are noted; and overall forecasts
are given to 2013. 119 pages. Released December 2008.
