ATR-Newswire (Press Release) - Sep 10, 2012 -  ELECTRONICS.CA PUBLICATIONS, the electronics industry market research and knowledge network, announces the release of a comprehensive global report on the ‘Electronic Coils, Transformers and Other Inductors’ market. Major factors driving growth in the market include technological advancements in the area of weight reduction, surface mounting and miniaturization, along with rapid growth in industrialization and continued demand for electronic goods. Additionally, factors such as increasing usage of passive components, and roll out of sophisticated electronic components are fuelling growth in the market.

Electronic Coils, Transformers, and Inductors are a type of electronic components called passive components that form the crux of electronic devices and appliances. Innovations in end-use industries including computing, telecommunications and electronics are fuelling growth in the global electronic coils, transformers, and inductors market. Innovations are being witnessed with respect to aspects such as weight reduction, surface mounting and miniaturization. The industry is extremely fragmented, comprising a large number of manufacturers. These manufacturers, through extensive research and development activities, are continuously devising methods to reduce the size of these components, add characteristics such as reliability and flexibility to the components, and expand their application base in years to come. In the inductors market, Japanese companies are at the forefront, with companies from Taiwan and China emerging fast.

Asia-Pacific represents the largest and fastest growing regional market as stated by the new market research report on Electronic Coils, Transformers and Other Inductors. Majority of the demand in the region is expected from countries such as China, India, Taiwan, and South Korea, due to robust growth in office automation, automotive, communication, and consumer electronics sectors. Moreover, these countries offer numerous benefits in terms of material and labor cost considerations. Inductor manufacturers in Asia-Pacific are continuously improving the performance parameters and bringing in value additions to their products through the usage of diverse material types, including barristers, ceramics, and ferrites, on the basis of voltages, applications, and the characteristics of electronic products. The trend is shifting towards increased EMI, miniaturization, and temperature range operability, which is coercing manufacturers to initiate research and development activities as well as advanced manufacturing processes in order to address these requirements.

Low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology is expected to be a leading trend to drive the inductor manufacturing in the next few years, primarily due to an increased usage of automotive, computer, and communications electronics. Besides investments in high-quality LTCC machinery, particularly in Asia, research and development activities are being initiated to identify newer materials, which could have potential of applying LTCC for inductor production. Products using LTCC components include bass-pass filters, front-end Transmitters and receivers, and Bluetooth devices. Demand for low-voltage transformers continues to rise following the growing sophistication of electronic equipment. With the introduction of LCD, flat panel, and Plasma TVs, the demand for fly-back transformers has gradually decreased. PC displays and CRT-based television sets have conventionally been the major applications of fly-back transformers. Despite substantial slowdown in the global fly-back transformer market, China is expected to witness a moderate growth in this segment.

Major players profiled in the report include API Delevan, Inc., Caddell-Burns Manufacturing Co., Inc., Custom Magnetics, Inc., Datatronic Distribution, Inc., Houston Transformer Company, Ltd., Murata Manufacturing Company, Ltd., Pulse Electronics Corporation, Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd., TDK-EPC Corporation, and Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. among others.
