Plastics in Electronics Components: Technologies and Global MarketsLONDON, Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Use this report to: REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY Overall, plastics consumption in electronic components had been growing at rates well above those of growth in gross domestic product for many years. Electronic products have invaded virtually all areas of our personal and business lives, and their levels of sophistication continue to increase. The amount of electronics in automobile control, driver assist and infotainment systems is rising rapidly. Cloud computing is carried out on a massive scale, and now the Internet of Everything is connecting devices as well as people. At the same time, the tendency of many personal electronics to become fashion items has reduced product life cycles, with each new product generation putting new demands – in performance and especially cost – on the materials that go into them. In addition, the increasing visibility of electronic devices, most notably in mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), has been a key driver in pushing electronics companies to use more "environment-friendly" technologies and materials in their products. So the market is in a state of permanent flux, and regular reappraisals are called for. This report is a fully revised update of one carried out in 2012. INTENDED AUDIENCE This report should be of interest to a wide audience of organizations following the development of the market for engineering thermoplastics and thermosets in electronic components. Interested parties are likely to include: - Companies involved in the development, manufacture and supply of plastics materials for the electronics market. - Companies involved in the development, manufacture, supply and use of passive electronic components that make incorporate plastics. - Manufacturers and suppliers of plastics processing equipment. - Public and private agencies involved in materials and component research. - Academia. - Venture capital companies and financial institutions interested in new and attractive investments. METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES Both primary and secondary information sources were used in preparing this report. A comprehensive review was undertaken of literature relating to polymers used to produce electronic components, their applications, technologies used to produce the components, markets and producers along the supply chain around the world. Included in the review was literature from manufacturers, associations and independent observers. Interviews were also carried out with various experts in the field.
