The extremity of these shortages necessitated that suppliers work with end users to find ceramic capacitor alternatives that would keep end product assembly on relatively normal schedules.\n\nIn recent years\, new passive component technologies emerged to address growing markets such as consumer energy harvesting\; Io T\; automotive V2V\,V2X communication\; automobile safety/autonomous syste ms\; private space transport\; electric vehicles\; and distributed generat ion/alternate energy sources.\n\nThis talk will recap market conditions fr om 4Q 2018 to the present\, and the solutions capacitor manufacturers offe red.
