Against the background of the appreciation of the RMB and the global economic crisis, resistance manufacturers are facing increasing pressure on production costs and product prices. In recent years, fierce competition has also compressed manufacturers' profit margins. When the world economic environment is turbulent, market demand is expected to decline, and product sales will have a more profound impact.

Despite the prospective industry's manufacturers, the industry is still optimistic about the development of the industry, as global demand for consumer electronics, communications, automotive, computers, and military resistors continues to increase, giving them optimistic capital. At present, China is in the leading position in the resistor industry in the world. According to data from the China Electronic Component Industry Association, the total output of China ’s resistors in 2008 was 708 billion, compared with 2005, there was only a huge increase of 410 billion, and it accounted for world supply. 30% of the total. Since 2005, the production scale of China's resistors has grown rapidly at a rate of 20% per year, and the total output of the association in 2009 will reach 850 billion.

The rapid development of China's resistor industry during the National Tenth Five-Year Plan (2001-2005). After the 2001 accession to the WTO, it has strived to consolidate its leading market position in global resistors by expanding the international market and improving product development. Device

Chip resistor demand leadership.

Currently, Chinese chip resistors account for 85% of total output resistance. In order to get a share of the needs of emerging markets, more and more companies are expanding the production scale with high resistance and producing core products. It can be expected that in the next few years, it will continue to lead the production of Chinese chip resistors. Driven by the demand for chip resistors in the global mobile communications, computer and peripherals, digital consumer and automotive electronics industries, China's local suppliers have good resistance, especially for portable electronic devices with low resistance, increased resistance, small resistance, and miniaturization The prospect of resistance is promising.

The size of domestic chip resistors is different. For consumer electronics and communications products, 0603 chip resistors are current local resistors in China. The trend of miniaturization will promote the production of 0402 smaller chip resistors. In response to market demand, manufacturers expect 0603 and 0805, 1206 and other large resistor outputs to decline in the coming months.

0402 chip resistors are increasingly used in electronic products such as mobile phones, MP 3s, digital players, digital cameras, portable digital cameras, portable navigation devices and notebook computers. With the miniaturization of mobile phones and other electronic devices, manufacturers believe that chip resistors used in these electronic products have become 0402 types.

Chinese local manufacturers also plan to develop 0201 resistors, and the R & D strength has increased not only from the new generation of mobile phones, MP4 players and RF radio frequency equipment, because they can bring more profits. Suppliers will test and produce 0201 chip resistors in 2009.

In addition to chip resistors, Chinese domestic manufacturers also produce plug-in resistors. Resistors are widely used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment and children's toys. Spark plug resistors will also continue to use high-power areas, because chip resistors cannot yet support applications with power above 3 watts. Therefore, no matter how fierce competition for plug-in resistor chip resistors, the market will remain stable. According to Philips forecasts, the global electronics market will grow by 38.4%, greatly increasing the demand for plug-in components. In addition, as demand in the aviation, aerospace and military fields rises, in China, the production of metal film resistors will increase.

Product technology is mature, performance improvement is mainly

As the industry matures, a major breakthrough in resistance technology, but manufacturers are still working to improve product stability and overall performance.

The development of products is mainly focused on high precision, high frequency and low temperature coefficient. Lead-free and miniaturization are also the R & D focus of manufacturers.

For chip resistors, high-frequency, high-power products will be the leading product development trend in the coming months. Manufacturers will also introduce a thermistor, varistor, and gas-sensitive resistor. Most suppliers are still Thin-film technology is used in resistance production.

In the field of plug-in resistors, carbon film resistors and metal film resistors are the most widely used in China and local shaft products. With thin film resistors and mature technology, competition from domestic and foreign manufacturers for product quality and cost control is fierce. For example, due to rising copper prices, many manufacturers have started using iron needles to maintain profitability.

Another part of the supplier develops precision wire-wound resistors and cement resistors. The demand and profitability of different types of products are considerable. Metal film resistors have developed towards low temperature coefficients and high precision. Many manufacturers have adopted advanced production equipment from Japan and Europe. Therefore, suppliers choose nickel-chromium alloy, tantalum nitride and tin oxide to import high-quality raw materials to produce precision metal film resistors with low temperature coefficients.

For cement resistance, miniaturization, high temperature stability, good heat dissipation, low noise, low resistance, the development trend of change is development, the manufacturer is still wet, earthquake resistance cement resistance.

China Electrical Industry.

Hundreds of local resistor manufacturing plants in China are located in 18 provinces and cities in China. According to the data of the Electronic Component Industry Association, there are more than 60 manufacturers of carbon film resistors, and more than 40 manufacturers of metal film resistors and metal oxide films. There are 30 manufacturers of resistors, and chip resistor manufacturers are above 30. Most of them are Taiwan-funded enterprises.

The supply base consists of Chinese manufacturers as well as Taiwanese-funded, Japanese-owned enterprises in the form of resistors in the high-end market, and the end of the market where most Chinese suppliers supply products.

Most manufacturers are concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, especially in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Suzhou, Dongguan, Guangdong, Tianjin and other provinces and cities. Among them, Guangdong and Jiangsu each have nearly three manufacturers, Shanghai and Tianjin each have 6, and others. The manufacturers are located in Zhejiang.

In fact, China still attracts computer, communications and digital electronic equipment manufacturers from all over the world to invest in establishing production lines in China. All Taiwanese chip resistor leaders have set up and back-end packaging bases in mainland China and upgraded to complete processing. plant. China's exports and resistors are also imported in large quantities, and demand for chip resistors is increasing, especially high-end resistance.
