Tantalum electrolytic capacitor current global output has increased from 110 million in 1995. to 180 million in 1998, 210 million in 1999 and 240 million in 2000. 270 million in 2001, 310 million in 2002 and 350 million in 2003. Between 1995 and 2000, an average annual growth rate of tantalum electrolytic capacitors 16.9% 13.4% between 2000 and 2003. My tantalum electrolytic capacitors is to maintain the momentum of rapid development. The system output of 271.556 million from 1997 to 2003 of only 1.247897 billion only. annual growth rate 28.94%; 220.633 million from the sales in 1997 only to the 2003 1.268767 billion only. an average annual increase of 33.85%.

With the trend of portable electronic products, gradually increasing demand for chip products. Lead tantalum electrolytic capacitors in the traditional market demand has declined each year, the market demand for chip tantalum electrolytic capacitors is growing year by year. Global chip tantalum electrolytic capacitors in the output from 79 million in 1995, the chip rate of 71%. to 190 million in 2000, the chip rate of 80%, the current rate of more than 90% chip. Domestic process of chip tantalum electrolytic capacitors are quite fast. Tantalum films enterprise system output of 75.926 million from 1997 to 2003 of only 1.044365 billion only. an average annual growth rate of more than 54% Chip rate from the 27.96% in 1997 to 83.69% in 2003.
