Review and Prospect of Taiwan electronic components industry in the first half of 2007

2007 in the first half of Taiwan electronic components at home and abroad production value of NT $340 billion 400 million, compared with the same period in 2006 grew by 9%, as detailed in figure 1. Compound semiconductor component output value of NT $26 billion 700 million, compared with the same period last year grew by 12%. Passive component output value of NT $61 billion 700 million, compared with the same period last year grew by 6%. Printed circuit board output value of NT $161 billion, compared with the same period last year, a negative growth of 1%. Continuous component output value of NT $59 billion 200 million, compared with the same period last year grew by 14%. Energy component output value of NT $31 billion 900 million. The following is the description of the production and sales performance of each component.

A figure 2007 in the first half of Taiwan electronic components production

Compound semiconductor assembly:

2007 in the first half of Taiwan compound semiconductor output reached $26 billion 700 million, compared with the same period last year, an increase of 12%, of which LED is the main driving force for growth. In 2007 the white LED market share in the rapid growth of mobile phone, digital photo frame, with the successful breakthrough in vehicle display backlight market size, the output value of the growth trend, the first half of the overall output value of 25 billion yuan, representing a growth of 14%. It is LD by product generations influence and price fell, the overall output decline of 21% over the same period last year, but it is worth noting that the second quarter of 2007 compared with the previous quarter LD output growth of 10%, showing the prosperity of the industry has been picked up.

Passive component:

Due to the growth of NB, TFT-LCD market sales, the demand for passive components to grow steadily, the first half of 2007 Taiwan passive component output value of $61 billion 700 million, compared with the same period last year grew by 6%.

Pcb

2007 in the first half of the PCB application market in addition to the effect of NB instead of DT, the overall market demand growth is limited. Mobile phone manufacturers continue to digest the stock market, the market demand is driven by the promotion of high-end mobile phones. In addition, the international price of copper second quarter remained at more than 7500 yuan, driven by the CCL price hike, the PCB manufacturers profit space is compressed. Therefore, the overall output value of the first half of Taiwan PCB NT $161 billion, compared with the same period last year, a negative growth of 1%.

Adapter assembly:

Traditionally, the first half of the year for network communication and PC industry off-season, the connector industry in network communication and PC industry revenue performance is poor, but compared to the same period last year, due to the Vista drive NB market replacement demand, the market demand is relatively strong. In addition to benefit from LCD TV, a rebound in consumer electronics products is still growing steadily, and iPhone began shipping market driven growth, the first half of 2007 the connector industry output value of NT $59 billion 100 million, representing a growth of 14%.

Energy component:

The first half of 2007 Taiwan energy components total output value of NT $31 billion 900 million yuan, representing a growth of 92%, the main growth power from the battery, while the battery core supply is still tight, but the NB sales growth, and launched new models driven by the first half of 2007, the overall battery output value of NT $27 billion 200 million
