19 Chapter One: Introduction: About this report T his document addresses the global market for capacitors and the cost of goods sold for each individual type of capacitor- ceramic, aluminum, tantalum and plastic film. When Science Meets Money The critical scientific principal surrounding capacitor technology is that capacitance is equivalent to the physical size, or available surface area of the finished component. This in turn makes the raw materials consumed in the production of capacitors the most expensive portion of Cost of Goods Sold, and the area where the application of best practices can have the greatest impact on decreasing the cost of goods sold and increasing operating margins. 1.1 Focus of This Specific Report: The goal of this report is to determine the cost of goods sold for capacitors as an industry and than with respect to each individual dielectric. This report also breaks down the various fixed and variable costs associated with each capacitor dielectric and makes comparisons. The study shows the impact of lower materials costs, weakened yen and weak end-use markets have on the financial structure of the capacitor industry on a global basis. 1.2 Research Methodology: The Methodology employed here is as follows- various secondary research reports conducted by Paumanok Publications, Inc. have been analyzed for indications of cost of goods sold by manufacturer over time. We also know the global market shares for each vendor, and therefore can draw conclusions for the industry as a whole with respect to cost of goods sold and operating margins for the top 12 manufacturers, who are also publically traded and who report their cost of goods sold financial documents. Also, we use market share data by dielectric, and cross-reference that with the financial documentation of each vendor, to narrow down cost structure by capacitor type/dielectric. We also employ primary intelligence sources, persons inside the industry who have direct knowledge of costs associated with each dielectric to determine if our analysis is correct. 19
