 Global Market Slated For High Growth As we roll into 2008 there are some encouraging signs that the electronics industry is poised for growth. According to technical market research report, Global Electronics: High Growth Products and New Markets from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the world market for electronic products was worth US$1.8 trillion in 2006, a figure that is expected to increase to $2 trillion in 2007 and $3.2 trillion in 2012, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5 percent over the next five years. The market is broken down into wafer fab materials, semiconductors, communications, computer, consumer, industrial, and automotive applications. Of these sectors, industrial products account for 39.6 percent of the total sales for electronics products, while computer electronics have the second largest share of the total market at 20 percent. Semiconductors make up 13.5 percent, consumer electronics make up 13.4 percent, communications electronics account for 9.9 percent, and automotive electronics products make up the remaining 2.6 percent. Historically, the electronics industry has seen intense competition between the U.S. and Japan, but most regions of the world (especially Asia-Pacific) are now rapidly accelerating their electronics manufacturing and electronics consumer bases. The electronics industry has been growing rapidly since the late 1990s, and it will continue to have solid growth as consumers in developed countries upgrade their current products, and consumers in developing economies purchase electronics products for the first time. The enterprises that shaped the electronics industry during the last few decades include Sony, Matsushita, Toshiba and IBM, which are all still going strong today. There are a growing number of global companies that create electronics products. Of these companies, the ones that have the highest electronics revenues are Hewlett Packard, IBM, Matsushita Electric Industrial, Samsung Electronics, Siemens, Hitachi, Dell, Nokia, Microsoft and Toshiba. Key areas of growth in Canada will be discussed in the next issue of Canadian Electronics magazine. Tim Gouldson, |

Teledyne
Relays has introduced its Solid-State Relays Selection Guide for
military, aerospace, COTS and HRIP (high reliability industrial parts)
applications. The catalogue features 76 families in a tabular format
designed in an easy to use format to quickly assist engineers in
choosing a product. The 20-page digest provides detailed information
about the relays, which include AC, DC and bidirectional relays with
output ranging from 0.25 to 10 amps. The easy-to-read digest includes
parameters such as load voltage, load current, ON-state voltage drop,
isolation type, input voltage, operating temperature, mounting and
dimensions. See more products online @ www.canadianelectronics.ca |

Design Service: FCI has launched the Basics+ Design Service. The program enables customers to choose the standard board/wire/cable-to-board connection for their application. Customers make a selection from generic connector pictures then simply give details about their specific needs. Based on this input, FCI recommends either an existing part from their range of specials or suggests a new design. A drawing, price and sample, as applicable, are then quickly supplied to the customer. www.fci.com/basics Security Standards: Elliptic Semiconductor is producing a Standards Watch newsletter, which examines the various security standards in the market today. It will be of value to all those involved directly or indirectly in digital security matters. The current issue provides an update on the IEEE 1619 and 1619.1 standards developed by the Security in Storage Working Group (SISWG) which covers security solutions for disk and tape applications. www.ellipticsemi.com/resources-whitepapers.php Residential Electronics: The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) has launched an interactive e-Learning class for residential electronic systems contractors (RESCs). CEDIA has incorporated interactive simulations into the e-Learning courses where students can earn their continuing education units (CEUs) and the skills necessary to become an asset to the electronic systems industry. This hands-on experience will arm RESCs with the skills necessary to carry on CEDIA’s reputation of success. www.cedia.org Automated Storage: The Remstar enhanced Web site, www.remstar.com, allows visitors to learn how electronics organizations are using simple automated systems such as carousels and vertical lift modules (VLMs) in their facilities to improve their material storage and retrieval efficiencies including: floor space savings, ergonomics and labour productivity. The site includes a customer area where visitors can see how the Remstar line of automated storage and retrieval systems are being integrated into facilities in a variety of industries. |
