Expected: 05 years, Taiwan electronic components output value reached $619 billion

ITRI IEK-ITIS plan 2004 electronic components survey report released in 2004, Taiwan electronic components industry at home and abroad a total size of NT $555 billion 200 million, compared with 2003 growth of 18%. In 2005 to develop mobile phone and consumer components under the international market boom period, but the PC mobile phone, the price decline growth may pile up in excess of requirement, limited, estimated in 2005 the Taiwan electronic components of total output value of 619 billion yuan, compared with 2004 growth of 11%. 2004 Taiwan electronic components industry increased in NB, mobile phone and other high order zeros component product demand, and the soft board, BGA/FC substrate, battery output growth driven by high amplitude in recent years a rare growth, including the total output value of both at home and abroad amounted to NT 555 billion 200 million yuan, compared with 2003 growth 18%.

In 2005, Taiwan continued to develop mobile phone manufacturers and consumer components of the international market, is expected to have a good growth rate can be expected, but doubts and price PC, mobile phone etc. the decline trend of pile up in excess of requirement, will make its growth forecast for 2005 is limited, Taiwan electronic components output will grow 11%, reaching new NT $619 billion.

In the compound semiconductor component part, 2004 Taiwan led increasing capacity of 50%, driven by market size growth, but because the product price plummeted to about 25-40%, the market growth rate is inferior to 2003, compared with 2003 growth of only 23%, NT $40 billion 500 million.

Taiwan high brightness LED production and global development trend showed a dual polarization, 2004 high brightness led the production ratio of 52%, compared with 2003 growth of 4 percentage points, NT $21 billion 200 million.

Outlook 2005, the development of the Taiwan LED industry, due to excessive capacity expansion, resulting in the market supply and demand imbalance and a significant decline in the price of the product, will have a significant negative impact on the size of the Taiwan market growth. However, Taiwan manufacturers on the economies of scale and four yuan high brightness LED technology still has considerable advantages, for the maintenance of Taiwan industry status is helpful, estimated 2005 Taiwan LED market size will reach NT $46 billion 900 million, compared with 2004 growth of 16%.

In the passive component part, after two years of boom and bottom price competition, Taiwan passive component industry since the second quarter of 2003 to see signs of recovery in 2004, the wave of industry recovery boom continued, making Taiwan the passive component industry shows a substantial growth of 16% boom, NT $118 billion 800 million.

2004 Taiwan passive component industry has shown a significant growth trend, in addition to the global boom growth, Taiwan manufacturers leading global competitors to expand production capacity, to seize market share plays a key role. 2004 Taiwan chip resistor capacity expansion of 22%, MLCC capacity expansion of 35%, inductor capacity expansion of 15%.

On the analysis of individual products, capacitors are widely used in communications, consumer and industrial electronic products, and its use and the high price of the product, making the capacitor accounted for 65% of the overall passive component output value. Although the resistor and capacitor with basic electronic circuit components, use capacitors with low price because the product be roughly the same, but, the market size is far lower than that of the capacitor, the total output value of only 18% passive components. 2004 Taiwan, Bluetooth WLAN production substantial growth of 49% and 140% respectively, the total output growth of 72% joint filter.

Looking forward to the development of passive components in Taiwan in 2005, under the negative impact of the slowdown in global market growth, the overall market growth will be only slightly higher than in 2004 9% growth, up to NT $129 billion 600 million.

Part of the printed circuit board, the Taiwan board market in the past two years in the global downturn in the waves, after the global overcapacity crisis, the number of manufacturers to show a decline in profit. However, since 2003, driven by the growth of the global market, the performance of various PCB manufacturers generally higher synchronization. 2004 driven by the sharp growth in the demand for mobile phone board and soft board, as well as NB board, board and IC board with the demand for temperature, the overall market size grew by 14% compared to 2003, up to NT $251 billion 800 million.

The individual product analysis, single-sided, double-sided, multilayer board and production scale still maintain a growth trend, but the growth rate is far lower than the soft board and IC board is low, making its share from 82% in 2003 fell sharply to 74%, while the soft board, IC board market continued to grow rapidly in recent years the trend.

Connecting parts, 2004 Taiwan connector industry showed a substantial growth of 21% boom, NT $101 billion, which is showing a growing trend, in addition to the global economic growth, Taiwan manufacturers by technical advantage in computer connector, Japan continues to receive and release the manufacturers to lower the cost of production orders, become the main driving force of Taiwan the growth of the. Among them, it is worth mentioning that the communications connector and consumer electronics connector, the growth in the application market and received orders released by the U.S. and Japan, the market size of more than 30%.

The development prospect of connector industry in Taiwan in 2005, continues to receive the European and American manufacturers of consumer electronics and communication connector for OEM orders driven by the size of the overall market growth trend will continue in 2004, but in the information with the negative impact of low price of the connector products, the overall market size growth will slow down.

The energy component part of 2004 due to the global mobile phone battery with two times increase in demand, the expansion of the Taiwan joint in customer service service market grew, and some manufacturers such as Sony Ericsson mobile phone manufacturers received OEM orders also contributed to the mobile phone battery output growth by two
