A look at the future of electronic components
Abstract
The total component market seems to have a stable annual value and is divided equally between U.S.A., West Europe and Japan. The increase in annual value is expected to become relatively large for opto-electronics, integrated circuits and batteries. Moderate increases are expected in electrolytic, ceramic and plastic condensers as well as metal film and metal-glass resistances. Reductions are anticipated for transistors, diodes, electronic valves, variable resistances, transformers and contact devices. In the long run hybrid circuits may replace printed circuits.
