6 The Official Daily Tag 4 Donnerstag 12 November 2020 Passive Components medical applications have been sharply reduced All industry representatives agree that the automotive sector has suffered most under the circumstances of the last six months In addition to the impacts of the lockdowns structural problems are particularly evident here The German and European automotive industry has relied on the combustion engine for too long and is now being overwhelmed by the increase in demand for hybrid and electric vehicles Whereby passive components manufacturers have a very positive attitude towards this transition it looks as if the demand for passive components will rise again as a result This can be seen most clearly in the area of multiplayer ceramic capacitors MLCCs According to Jean Quecke Sales Director IPE Central Europe at Future Electronics the number of MLCCs installed there is now around 3 500 MLCCs for a business saloon car with a combustion engine According to Quecke up to 8 000 MLCCs are used in hybrid vehicles And if the example of Teslas electric SUV sets the tone manufacturers of MLCCs will have to meet completely different requirements It is expected that a vehicle produced from 2020 21 may use up to 45 000 MLCCs It is therefore not surprising that passive components manufacturers have high expectations regarding future development of the automotive industry Josef Vissing Deputy Head of Sales at TDK Europe also expects a further gradual easing of the tense situation in the automotive sector during the second half of 2020 and 2021 According to his observations demand in the industrial electronics sector has been relatively stable compared to the automotive sector However he also expects reduced investments in automation especially in the automotive sector In addition he believes that there has so far been a lack of momentum in the area of renewable energies such as wind power and photovoltaics Michael Turbanisch Head of Distribution Sales at Yageo Europe describes how differently the development in the coronavirus months has affected passive components manufacturers in Asia With regard to the white and brown goods test and measurement instruments or even medical technology sectors we can hardly see any losses there instead we are actually continuing to grow in some of these sectors This growth however cannot fully compensate for the losses particularly with regard to quantities caused by the weakness of the automotive business Ferdinand Leicher Vice President Sales EMEA at Bourns also definitely does not view things pessimistically Of course our automotive customers were most affected by the events surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic On the other hand things are still going very well in the medical technology sector only industrial electronics has begun to weaken somewhat in the meantime Apoint at which Dr Arne Albertsen Senior Sales Manager at Jianghai Europe Electronic Components becomes very specific We have seen lower demand from our customers who supply automation and control technology to the mechanical engineering sector but also from customers who are active in the white goods sector In recent months in Asia manufacturers have benefited from work at home to a much greater extent than was the case in Europe as Andreas Hammer Vice President EMEA Sales at Kemet confirms In Asia Kemet has benefited very strongly from this Especially with our polymer tantalum capacitors which are used in 5G notebooks and SSD applications Our production of these products was partly completely sold out! Alexander Gerfer Chief Technology Officer CTO of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group also points out that buyer markets such as telecommunications or everything relating to digital infrastructure and applications in the environmental technology sector have continued to grow even in the worst phases of the pandemic and Iam sure that these sectors will continue to grow even after the end of the coronavirus crisis Like all manufacturers and suppliers however the low air freight capacities and the associated high costs are a source of concern for him This is due to the fact that the majority of worldwide production capacities for passive Yoshihiro Yamada Murata By 2028 50 percent of all MLCCs sold are expected to be of case size 0201 and MLCCs in case size 008004 will already have reached a doubledigit percentage share Michael Turbanisch Yageo With regard to the sectors white and brown goods test and measurement instruments and especially medical technology there were hardly any losses in the last months Jean Quecke Future Electronics In a business saloon car with combustion engine there are about 3 500 MLCCs in use today In a hybrid vehicle there can already be up to 8 000 MLCCs used Andreas Hammer Kemet Our production of polymer tantalum capacitors which are used in 5G notebooks and SSD applications for example was partly completely sold out in recent months Miniaturization Continued from page 1 Page 8
