Posted on: Friday, 14 October 2005, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c25933) has announced the addition of Electrical & Optical Backplanes - A Worldwide Market and Technology Review 2005-2010 to their offering

This report reviews the global backplane industry in terms of current and forecasted markets for backplanes, emerging applications and interconnect technologies. Also system technology roadmaps, the market structure and business opportunities for backplane manufacturers and the supply industry are highlighted. A key part of this study investigates the forecasted demand for embedded optical waveguide based backplanes versus enhanced electrical copper based solutions. Conclusions on how the Asian market will respond to the opportunities in the backplane market are also covered in detail.

Building upon the previously highly successful Backplane and Optical Backplane multiclient studies launched in 1997, 2000 and 2002, this report represents a completely updated and extended assessment of the global backplane market.

Over the last two years the backplane industry has gone through some of the most dramatic structural and technological changes it has ever experienced. Also, the supply industry's structure has changed and new opportunities involving new technologies and emerging next generation systems are on the horizon.

'Electrical & Optical Backplanes A Worldwide Market and Technology Review 2005-2010' will review and investigate the market, technology developments and strategic business issues worldwide in this sector. A key part of this multiclient study will be a number of technology roadmaps detailing the specification of backplanes in a range of system applications. This will include telecom switch systems, wireless base stations, aerospace communications and high-end servers.

This multiclient study will provide all subscribers with a clear understanding of the backplane market structure, emerging technologies, specific market and product opportunities and well as successful strategic recommendations. This study will significantly increase the commercial and technical effectiveness of players in the backplane market.

Key Questions Answered in this Study:

- What is the current size and projected growth rate of the backplane market worldwide in five years time?

- Which regions will drive the majority of this growth? What system applications will demand backplanes?

- Which emerging applications will require advanced backplane technologies?

- How will the mix of standard and proprietary backplane designs change over the next five years?

- Which new backplane technologies will emerge as mainstream approaches?

- Can copper interconnect be extended beyond 10Gbps? Will there be a requirement for optical backplanes?

- What opportunities will emerge for suppliers of materials, process equipment and assembly/test services?

- How will the structure of the backplane industry change over the next five years?

- Will China and other Asian countries become the leading region for backplane manufacture? Can the West remain competitive?

- What are the winning strategies for companies involved in the backplane and supply industries?

This study will be extremely useful to any Senior Manager involved in strategic marketing, R&D, business development, new technology introduction and corporate strategy. The following companies/organisations will find this essential for their strategic planning activities:

- Backplane and Printed Circuit Board Manufacturers

- OEMs/ System Designers

- Contract Assembly Houses

- Test Equipment Manufacturers

- Semiconductor Companies

- Optical Interconnect and Device Manufacturers

- IC Packaging Companies

- Materials and Chemical Manufacturers

- Process/ Assembly Equipment Manufacturers

- Investment Banks and Venture Capital Companies
