.....LOL, speaking of ideas:
Electronic Materials: Customers Will Demand Lower Prices
Companies that supply materials to the electronics industry will struggle in 2016. Demand will grow slowly, and manufacturers of semiconductors and displays , each for their own reasons, will push for lower materials prices.
Mergers and acquisitions could be a theme in 2016 , Thirsk adds, as materials suppliers look to spread R&D costs over a larger business. Deals between Western companies, such as the 2014 acquisition of AZ Electronic Materials by Merck KGaA, have already happened. In the future, Chinese companies will likely be buyers of Western ones, Thirsk anticipates.
In display materials, weak market conditions are a problem, according to Tadashi Uno, a senior analyst at the market research firm IHS Technology. In October, the world’s largest liquid-crystal-display panel maker, LG Display, reported a 30% drop in profit . It has gotten worse since.
“All panel makers were in the red in December, so there is a lot of pressure to reduce costs,” Uno says. Because televisions require more display materials than mobile phones or personal computers, it’s the TV market that matters to chemical companies, Uno notes. And fewer TVs will be sold in 2016 than in 2015, he expects.
Technology trends in the display industry will not necessarily favor materials companies, Uno adds. For instance, he notes that Nitto Denko has come up with a new way to coat polyvinyl alcohol films in display polarizers that improves polarizer luminescence while significantly reducing film requirements.
