			<title><![CDATA[Global and China Advanced Packaging Industry Report]]></title>
			<link>http://www.electronics.ca/store/global-advanced-packaging-industry-report.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In 2012, global semiconductor sales fell 2.7%; semiconductor equipment 
spending dropped by 15% to US$36.9 billion from US$43.5 billion in 2011.
 The semiconductor market in 2013 is also not optimistic, accompanied by
 recession of the world’s emerging economies and Europe’s sluggish 
recovery. U.S. and Japanese markets are relatively better, while China, 
as the world’s largest semiconductor market, has witnessed 
lower-than-expected economic growth, the global economy is yet to show 
signs of recovery. In spite of the overall decline in 
semiconductor industry, the foundry field still grows. In 2012, the 
global semiconductor foundry market reached total value of US$34.6 
billion, an increase of 6.5% over 2011. With the growth slowdown of 
smart phones and tablet PCs, it is expected that the foundry market in 
2013 will increase by just 1.6% to exceed about US$35.2 billion.  ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Smart Lighting Markets and Opportunities 2013]]></title>
			<link>http://www.electronics.ca/store/smart-lighting-markets-and-opportunities.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Revenues from smart lighting are expected to escalate rapidly in the 
coming decade, driven primarily by rising energy costs.  However, the 
biggest wins in the smart lighting business will go to those who can 
differentiate themselves in the market by offering value-added features 
and interfaces to other building automation systems. 
As it happens, it is becoming increasingly easy to achieve such 
differentiation.  The latest lighting research indicates that smart 
lighting can also lead to improved health and mood, while newer 
technology is showing the way to using smart lighting systems for air 
quality monitoring and even the delivery of information services.  At 
the same time, improved control algorithms will permit the basic 
lighting management functionality of smart lighting to be performed much
 more effectively.With these important developments in mind, this report offers 
guidance on where new smart lighting business revenues will be generated
 over the next few years and beyond.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Electronics Industry in Canada]]></title>
			<link>http://www.electronics.ca/store/canadian-electronics-industry-report.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Since the communications led boom in 2000 output in the Canadian 
electronics industry has declined significantly with production falling 
by 66% from C$29 billion to a forecasted C$9.9 billion in 2011. Output 
was estimated to have declined by 4.2% in 2011 and is forecast to fall 
by a more modest 1.4% in 2012. Canada's major industry sectors include 
fixed and wireless communications (including defence). Combined, the 
communication sector accounted for 42% of output in 2011 down from 62% 
in 2000. Production of communications and radar increased by 12.5% in 
2008 but fell by 20% in 2009 and by a further 11.1% and 12.5% in 2010 
and 2011, respectively. The decline in telecommunications has been more 
pronounced. Between 2000 and 2011 output has fallen by a staggering 90% a
 sharp contrast to wireless communications and radar where production 
declined by 33% in the same period, with a significant proportion of 
this occurring in the wake of the 2009 global economic downturn. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[MEMS Packaging Market]]></title>
			<link>http://www.electronics.ca/store/mems-packaging-yd3579.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The MEMS packaging market is growing faster than the IC packaging 
market. In package unit shipments, the MEMS packaging market is growing 
2x faster (~ 20% CAGR)  than what is predicted for the overall IC 
package market. WLP / TSV platform is set to grow the fastest while 
leadframe and organic laminate based packages are poised to grow a 
comfortable 16% CAGR over the next 5 years to come. There are 
plenty of MEMS and sensors to be found in recent smartphone designs: 
MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, electronic compass 
magnetometers, multiple silicon MEMS microphones, FBAR / BAW filters and
 duplexers, RF switches and MEMS  oscillators: there is no doubt that 
MEMS content is growing faster than standard IC content. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Market Outlook for Nanomaterials for Electronics: Semiconductors, Solar, Displays, Sensors, RFID, Lighting]]></title>
			<link>http://www.electronics.ca/store/market-outlook-for-nanomaterials-for-electronics-semiconductors-solar-displays-sensors-rfid-lighting-tin9100.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The use of nanoparticles is set to escalate and the market has the 
potential to increase dramatically over the next ten years as more uses 
for these materials are developed and commercialized. Nanomaterials
 are establishing themselves as a way forward for printed electronics in
 a number of ways. Inks using metallic nanoparticles promise higher 
conductivities and lower curing temperatures, nanosilicon inks may prove
 the best route to printed silicon, and carbon nanotube inks open up 
interesting new possibilities for ITO replacements, lighting and 
displays. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[OLED lighting will eventually emerge as the largest addressable market 
for OLED materials, but only if advances in materials can help to close 
several remaining technology gaps related to improved OLED lighting 
efficiency, lifetime, and total cost of ownership. Thus, this report is 
an essential guide for materials and specialty chemical firms seeking to
 gain a competitive edge for their OLED materials in this emerging 
market. This report provides insight into the developing opportunities, 
paying special attention to the opportunities for OLED lighting 
materials that will develop over the next 18 months or so ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Canadian ICT 2013–2017 Forecast]]></title>
			<link>http://www.electronics.ca/store/canadian-ict-market-forecast.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Canadian ICT industry is expected to reach $90.2 billion by the 
end of 2013, representing 3.2% growth over 2012 spending levels. 
Hardware fell on tough times toward the latter half of 2012, and saw its
 market reach only 2.7% in annual growth and its forecast for 2013 
sitting at -2.7%. Software is continuing strong growth, with 5.2% growth
 in 2012 and expectations to rise to 5.8% on the backs of Big Data, 
cloud, and to a lesser extent mobility and social trends. The mild pullback that we had expected in 2011 actually occurred in the latter half of 2012, and we expect this to actually carry into 2013 
and even 2014 as economic concerns globally start to affect Canada's ICT
 buyers' psyches.

			<title><![CDATA[The Taiwanese Smartphone Application IC Market, 1Q 2013]]></title>
			<link>http://www.electronics.ca/store/taiwanese-smartphone-application-ic-market.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<span class="body_text">This research report presents market size and 
value forecast and recent quarter review of the Taiwanese Smartphone 
baseband, transceiver, power amplifier, application processor, GPS IC, 
Bluetooth IC, and Wi-Fi IC markets. The report includes baseband, 
transceiver, power amplifier, application processor, GPS IC, Bluetooth 
IC, and Wi-Fi IC market volume, value, ASP, and market share by solution
 provider. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained 
through interviews with Smartphone component makers. The report finds 
that the Taiwanese Smartphone application IC market volume and value 
witnessed buoyant sequential and year-on-year growth in the fourth 
quarter of 2012, thanks to the industry's strong shipment for iPhone 5. 
The growth momentum, however, is expected to have slowed down in the 
first quarter of 2013. In 2013, it is anticipated that quad-core 
chipsets will continue to stay mainstream in the high-end segment, while
 market volume of multi-mode multi-band ICs will be spurred by the 
growing end-user demand for corresponding devices.</span> ]]></description>
