Global Wafer Capacity 2013 - Market Report
Major changes are underway in the IC manufacturing base! Since mid-2007, the landscape of the IC fabrication industry has changed dramatically. IC manufacturers have done whatever they could to survive by closing older fabs, adopting the fabless or fab-lite business model, and consolidating.
The number of companies able to afford the cost of a new advanced fab continues to dwindle, causing greater reliance on foundries for production capacity. While the foundries have served the industry very well, such high reliance on so few manufacturers has caused some uneasiness in the industry. This situation will become even more precarious when the 300mm-to-450mm wafer transition takes place in the next few years. Did You Know?
The top 15 300mm wafer capacity leaders now hold 94% of the world's 300mm fab capacity, essentially comprising the entire future total available market (TAM) for leading-edge IC fabrication equipment and materials!
The newly updated Global Wafer Capacity report is an ideal tool for understanding the "new realities" of the market. This study will greatly assist IC material and equipment suppliers in creating long-term strategic marketing plans, especially when it comes to determining which IC manufacturers stand the best chance to remain in the business of fabricating ICs. Use This Study to Find: Capacity, wafer start, utilization forecasts. IDM vs. fabless vs. fab-/asset-lite strategies. Rankings of companies with the highest capacity. Capacity forecasts for Taiwan, Korea, China, etc. 300mm wafer fab count and specifications. Forecasts for leading-edge (<40nm) capacity. And more! The Global Wafer Capacity 2013 report offers a detailed breakdown of the IC industry's wafer fab capacity as it stood at the end of 2012 and then forecasts capacity for each year through 2017. The data were compiled, summarized, and extended into the future using both bottom-up and top-down research methodologies. Surveys of hundreds of fabs from around the world formed the basis for analyzing the IC industry's current capacity status. Future projections were based on both survey results and IC Insights' overall economic forecast for the IC industry.

Portable Battery Powered Products: Global Markets
The market for portable, battery-powered products has grown from a few well-established niches such as flashlights and wristwatches to a diverse, rapidly growing market that encompasses computing, communications, entertainment, photographic, and publishing products; a variety of cordless tools; and entirely new classes of military and medical products. This diversity has been accomplished because of a unique synergy between the products themselves, the batteries they employ, and the battery chargers and power-management systems that recharge the batteries. Several entirely new classes of batteries have been commercialized during the past 25 years, including nickel-metal hydride, zinc-air, lithium polymer, and the widely used lithium-ion design. Meanwhile, improved microelectronic battery charger controller technology allows the commercialization of higher-performance, smaller, and safer designs. This, in turn, has allowed for the commercialization of portable products that would be impossible without improved battery chargers, notably portable computers, cell phones, digital cameras, multi-functional touch-screen devices, and cordless hand tools. At the same time, competitively priced no rechargeable primary batteries remain established power sources for many kinds of portable products. As this synergy continues to develop, there are areas in which the portable product, battery, and battery charger industries could experience the explosive growth usually associated with emerging industries. Battery designers, mainly electrochemists, and battery charger designers, mainly electrical and electronics specialists, will continue to operate together, with new batteries and new battery chargers evolving in tandem to produce even higher-performance products. This has changed how portable product batteries are marketed. All batteries degrade and must be replaced, usually much sooner than the products they power. In the past, this was addressed by using removable and replaceable batteries that could be interchanged between different devices, or through an aftermarket for the replacement of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) batteries. Portable product designers now recognize the long-term value stream represented by the batteries, and they jealously guard their control of this stream by designing batteries devices that can only be powered by batteries that they sell. This has created a whole new supply chain category that has elements of both the OEM stream and the aftermarket. SCOPE OF REPORT This report organizes the portable product industry into the following market sectors:
This classifications structure recognizes the tremendous popularity of convergent multi-functional handheld devices that can combine cellular phones, Web browsers, computers, entertainment and publishing platforms, timepieces, and navigation aids. Each portable product market sector is defined, the leading companies for each sector are identified, and the market sectors are analyzed, with the inclusion of a 5-year market prediction. The following kinds of batteries are discussed:
These battery power sources are also compared to two new portable power supplies: ultracapacitors and fuel cells. Again, each battery market sector is defined, the leading companies are identified, and the market is analyzed, with the inclusion of a 5-year market prediction. Finally, OEM and charging-station battery charger markets are analyzed. Portable product, battery, and battery charger companies are identified and profiled.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market 2013-2018
In today’s context UAV’s play an important role in varied missions such as military attacks, border surveillance, mapping, surveying, weather determination and regional law enforcements. This technology has grown at a rapid pace and production companies present across the globe, as the country want to showcase their military strength in order to wade off potential attacks. Civilian usage of UAV operations have still not started at a pace can be expected as the local regulations apprehended the usage. Also, misunderstanding over the lack of safety and privacy of citizens has hindered their operational capabilities. UAV’s have developed from radio controlled model airplanes to urbane aircraft that today play a unique role in many public missions and also have the potential to do so for many civil missions as well. Special airworthiness certificates will be obtaining to civilian operators for experimental purposes, which unfortunately exclude operations for compensation or hire. According to industry estimates, UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) operations will increase manifold in a variety of key military and civil areas. About 50 U.S. companies, universities, and government organizations in the U.S. are developing over 150 different unmanned aircraft designs. From an operational, infrastructure and safety perspective, this presents a number of challenges due to the diversity of aircraft, control stations, levels of autonomy, and communications methods. UAV’s width is of a wide spectrum of size, endurance, and performance characteristics, often different from manned aircraft. Sophisticated navigation and communications technologies were not available few years back, and increases in armed forces telecommunications satellite bandwidth have made remote operation of UAV’s more realistic. The wars fought in Iraq and Afghanistan has also increased the demand for UAV’s, as identification of and strikes against targets hiding among civilian populations required persistent surveillance. Manned systems could accomplish many if not all of the same goals. But unmanned systems reduce the risk to our war fighters by providing a sophisticated stand-off capability that supports intelligence, command and control, targeting, and weapons delivery. These systems also improve situational alertness and reduce many of the poignant hazards inherent in air and ground combat, thus decreasing the likelihood of causing civilian noncombatant casualties. UAVs have gained favor as ways to reduce risk to combat troops have been established, the cost of hardware and the reaction time in a surgical strike and to conduct missions in areas that can be difficult to access or otherwise considered too high-risk for manned aircraft or personnel on the ground.

LCD Market: Technology Directions and Market Analysis
This technology-marketing report examines and projects the technologies involved in the fabrication of Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). This report discusses the technology trends, products, applications, and suppliers of materials and equipment. A market forecast for AMLCD equipment and materials is presented. The global TFT-LCD panel industry consists of a small number of manufacturers, substantially all of which are based in Asia. The top ten TFT-LCD panel manufacturers of large-sized panels in terms of unit sales accounted for 95.7% of global sales. All of these manufacturers are based in Asia. In recent years, TFT-LCD panel manufacturers, in particular Taiwan- and Korea-based manufacturers, have invested heavily to establish, construct and ramp up additional fab capacity. The capital intensive nature of the industry often results in TFT-LCD panel manufacturers operating at a high level of capacity utilization in order to reduce unit costs. This tends to create a temporary oversupply of panels, which reduces the average selling price of panels and puts pricing pressure on display driver companies. TABLE OF CONTENTS
