Development trend of electronic components industry in Taiwan in 2006

Currently in Taiwan in the global electronic components production ranked third, is expected to electronic components sales this year will exceed $19 billion. LED, IC, passive components and battery sales are particularly strong. According to the Taiwan area (ITRI) of ITRI IEK (LEK) said that in 2004 the Taiwan area alone on the island of electronic components production, output reached 7% of the world's $83 billion. If the increase in the production of Shanghai, the Taiwan area of electronic components accounted for 13% of the global market value, more than the United States, the world's top third electronic components production center. Japan ranked first, accounting for 32% of the global market, China ranked in the top second, accounting for $29%, while the United States accounted for 12%. 2005 Taiwan electronic components sales reached $17 billion 800 million, is expected to grow to $19 billion 600 million in 2006. According to the output value is expected in the next two years, the average growth of 8.9% in Taiwan. In recent years, mobile phone, WLAN, Bluetooth and IT products will promote the growth of the regional market in Taiwan.

Component market is on the rise

Mobile phone and the consumer electronics industry has been the main impetus of the electronic components industry needs in Taiwan. However, with the emergence of excess supply of mobile phones and PC, as well as prices fell, in 2005 the Taiwan area of electronic component production growth fell to 9.2%. 2004 output value is $16 billion 300 million.

Light emitting diode (LED)

In LED field, due to huge production and over the past year to expand production capacity, is expected in the next few years there will be oversupply and falling prices. Taiwan LED manufacturers are now turning production focus to high brightness LED, Blu ray LED and white LED. Transfer to high-end LED, will increase the output value of the LED industry in Taiwan. The estimated 2005 LED in Taiwan area based on output value of $1 billion 200 million last year, up by 16%. Especially white LED played an important role, because the Taiwan area can be obtained from Osram (OSRAM) patent rights to produce white LED. In the next three years, the output value is expected to grow at an average rate of 16.2%.

laser diode

Increase from Japan OEM orders last year in Taiwan area of the laser diode output growth of 27.8% compared to $95 million in 2004. The main growth areas are semiconductor lasers for data storage and optical fiber communications. From 2005 to 2007, the average growth rate is expected to reach 26.5%.

Passive component

Components on the field, 2005 Taiwan area manufacturer's output grew by 3.9% over the previous year's $3 billion. Chip resistance is particularly prosperous, because there are more Japanese manufacturers out of the field. In addition, Taiwan ceramic capacitor manufacturers are targeting the IT market. Although the trend is likely to fall next year and prices remain stable, but chip resistors and MLCC will be the next three years to promote the growth of passive components in Taiwan, the main product growth, an increase of 6.1%. Printed circuit board (PCB)

Due to market demand for mobile phone, PC and LCD decreased, PCB of Taiwan manufacturing industry is facing shrinking period. Excess supply in the first half of last year, but demand and sales rebound in the third quarter. Overall, last year's output value increased by 7 billion 700 million over the previous year's $7.8%. From 2005 to 2007, the average growth rate of PCB output will be about 5.5%. Among them, due to the communications market for flexible PCB has a sustained demand, the output value of flexible PCB in 2005 increased by 14% compared to $971 million 400 thousand in 2004. The main production area of Taiwan jialianyi science and technology have expanded their business in the mainland China production factory. With more flexible manufacturers in the region of Taiwan to expand production in the mainland, is expected from 2005 to 2007 the average growth rate of up to 14.6% PCB.

IC substrate

In IC substrate (also known as IC packaging board) area, Taiwan area for manufacturers in the production process using BGA technology foundation. Taiwan IC substrate manufacturers through the Japanese market, in the global market to occupy a larger share. 2005 IC substrate output value of $954 million 200 thousand in 2004 increased by 17.6%. The output of BGA and FC IC substrate accounted for the largest proportion of the added value. In the next two years, the IC market is expected to grow by 31% due to the steady growth of the BGA market and the growth in demand for flip chip.

Connector

In Taiwan has launched a multi-function connector manufacturers products, and expand market share in the United States and the European market. Due to the growth in consumer demand for communications products and the international market OEM orders increased, in 2005 the output value increased by 10% compared to $2 billion 900 million in 2004. Taiwan region for the connector needs and production remained stable, demand mainly from the PC market. From 2005 to 2007, the annual output value is expected to grow by an average of about $11.3%. In addition, the connector manufacturers in Taiwan also hopes to expand its export markets, the development of space smaller, thinner and higher frequency products, and the market application from PC peripheral equipment extended to communication products, GPS and entertainment systems and other applications.

Rechargeable battery

Rechargeable battery manufacturers in Taiwan area in 2004 were obtained from multinational companies such as Sony Ericsson OEM orders. 2005 continue to maintain this trend. Since the use of rechargeable batteries such as laptops and mobile phones, consumer electronics products supply and demand remained stable, so in 2005 the production of rechargeable batteries in Taiwan compared to $237 million 400 thousand last year, an increase of $24.2%. From 2005 to 2007, the average annual growth rate of rechargeable batteries in Taiwan is expected to be $18.8%. Although the industry 10 years ago has been in the Taiwan area, but most manufacturers do not have mass production capacity, and some companies profit margins continue to decline.
