This global market research study analyzes global value and volume of demand for both AC film and DC film capacitors. The AC film capacitor market focuses on global value and volume of demand for small and large can polypropylene dielectric capacitors, including both dry and oil-filled designs for use in electrical systems (motor run, microwave oven, magnetic ballast, power transmission and distribution and true power film capacitors (i.e. variable speed drive, furnace, traction, DC Link for HEV). The second part of the study focuses on DC film capacitors for printed circuit board applications in power supply, lighting ballast, and consumer AV applications, and includes value and volume of demand for 5 mm pitch PET film capacitors; AC & Pulse film capacitors, X & Y film capacitors and PPS, PEN and PET film chip capacitors. The competitive environment is given including market shares by type and dielectric and forecasts to 2016.
