Circuit Protection Components
Executive Summary
About this report
T
his document addresses the global market for both overcurrent and overvoltage
protection components, otherwise known as circuit protection components- it is a subset
of the global resistor and capacitor markets (passive components), and a subset of the
global discrete semiconductor market. Circuit protection components are considered a
highly fragmented segment of the high-tech economy.
Scope of Coverage
Both overvoltage and overcurrent protection components are included in
this report. For overvoltage protection we include the silicon based surge
protection components, most notable the zener diode, the silicon
avalanche diode and the thyristor; metal oxide arrestors, gas discharge
tubes, line feed resistors and snubber capacitors. For overcurrent
protection, we include PTC thermistors, NTC thermistors and traditional
fuses, including solid matrix, glass cartridge and blade fuses.
The Forces Affecting The Market:
The forces that affected the market between 2003 and 2008 are as follows
1. Important changes were made to the two key industry specifications (IEC 610004.2 and 4.4) and (Telcordia-Bellcore GR-0189 CORE), and industry wide
compliance became mandatory in June and October of 2007.
2. The volume of circuit protection components per end-product increased,
especially for portable digital electronics..
3. Component consumption moved to SE Asia at the expense of North America.

4. There was continued
industry consolidation
in the space driven by
needs to expand
technology portfolios,
into new market
segments (automotive)
or increase share in
the Asia-Pacific region.
5. Opportunities moving
forward to 2013 have
been created by the
extension of the new
specification, and the
harmonization of
Bellcore 1089 with IEC
